All the week the little folks had anticipated the pleasure of a fancy dress ball, but older heads could) never have imagined the full ‘beauty of this Lilliputian entertain- ‘ment, which fact may explain the ex- ‘clamations of surprised delight heard lamong the lookers on. The “wee | things” were perfectly at their ease in | the mazes of the dance, and as the eye |of the spectator followed them, he was ‘unable to decide whether they looked ‘more like a group of butterflies or a (fairy band of dancers. Their move- ments were light and graceful, their | costumes bright and fanciful. Most 'of them were pupils of Mr. James A. Wren, and showed that they had not forgotten his thorough instruction in the terpsichorean jeuts. Many fond |parents were enraptured with the | brilliant success of their infantile dar- | lings, and the spectators concluded that a child’s fancy ball is much more inter- |esting than one composed of adults. | Ruth Scales, in a Kate Greenaway costume, that strikingly harmonized | With her frail, exquisite face and grace- ful figure, was pronounced the greatest success in the way of quaintness. Her |dress being fashioned out of an old |chintz bed spread belonging to her | great grandmother, made her appear- ance a charming commingling of the past with the present, especially when seen promenading with Walter Linton, wlio personated a New York “Dude.” The costumes of Annie Erwin as ‘snow, and Corinne Erwin as ‘“‘}leet,” were greatly admired by everyone, and considered perfect in their graceful simplicity. Paradoxical as it may sound, the juvenile gallants waxed warm in their admiration of these chilling belles, and each craved a dance at their hands (or shall I say feet?) I verily believe that Cupid on this oc- casion found the snow and sleet-covered beauties more melting than other features of the ball pecnhar to warmer atmospheres. Bob McNeely as a “Scotch Highlander,’ wore the plaid gracefully and elecited complimentary comments. Joe McNeely made a hand- some “Sailor,” and appeared wonder- fully popular with the fairer portion of the merry dancers. Jamie Kluttz as a “scotch Lassie.” personated an inter- esting companion character to the one assumed by Bob MeNeely. Two “Daughters of the Regiment” added brightness and vivacity to the scene in the persons of Ruth Nluttz and Lizzie Bingham. Magzie McNeely as a “Spanish Gypsy,” wore a costume pe- cuhiarly becoming and one that is in- variably attractive. Fannie Caldwell as an “Italian Girl,’ and Alice Cald- well as “Ann Hathiway,” were attired in bright, jaunty costumes that so en- hanced their natural charms as to cre- ate a pleasant foreshadowing of future conquests. Agnes Neave as “Winter,” wore a handsome noticeable dress. Co- rinne Mock as *Fanchon,” was a pleas- ing character, and sweet “Maud Mul- ler’ must not be forgotten, for her cos- tume was beautifully conceived, and had the “Judge” passed that way [ am sure it would “have been.” The cos- tumes of Archibald Henderson as “King Arthur,’ and Bessie Henderson as “Daffodil Dilly,” were handsome and artistically elaborate. and made the lovely wearers the admired of all ob- servers. ‘here were other costumes that the writer will have to leave un- mentioned on account of ignorance a3 to the characters represented, and not because of insignificance. SPECTATOR. -—<—=>>- Statement of the Silver Question. New York World, he main issue as to the relative or combined merits of silver and gold as media of exchange is not the question immediately before the people. It is whether the compulsory Coinage law shall be continued under the present circumstances, or suspended until per- manent detin§te policy with respect to our standard of value is duly considered and decided-upon. Practically we have a gold standard; legally we have a double one of gold and silver. The law makes a dollar of 1124 grains of silver ——~ nine-tenths fine equal, in a debt-paying capacity, to a gold dollar of 25 8-10 grains nine-tenths fine, although the gold dollar will purchase more than 515 ains of silver bullion of standard rmness. There is a discrepancy of more than 20 per cent. here, and in this difference lies the bone of conten- tion. The supporters of the gold standard claim that theregcan be but one stand- ard; that in obedience to Gresham's Jaw the cheaper metal will alwgys drive out the dearer, and that the con- tinued coinage of silver will eventually drive out the gold and reduce our standard 20 per cent. or more in value, thereby affecting debits and credits ac- cordingly. They claim that to permit this to take place will be unwise in an economic sense, and immofal in that it partakes of repudiation; that if will SALISBURY, N. C., JANUARY 7, 1886. Let Us Be Modest. : {By our Regular Contributor.) Intellectual modesty is one of the great wants of the age. Really intel- lectual men are always intellectually modest. They hesitate to give the world a great immortal thought Jest it should not benefit and bless mankind. It is not at all probable that the intel- lectual man will force his opinions up- on his fellow: man, so that he is not to be feared. He gives the world his thought, and he patiently waits for the world to grow up to it. He who is to be feared is the intelligent man, the man who thinks he knows it all, and he knows nothing. movgnd this t ef man laying down the law and the gospel—and sometime the gossip—in social circles, at private parties, in the counting room, at the street corner, or elsewhere. He is a consequential indi- separate the basis of our. financial sys-{yidual in his own estimatien, and pla- tem from that of the other civilized commercial nations of the world. President Cleveland, in his message, shows that his sympathies are very strongly enlisted on this side of the question. The supporters of the continued coinage claim that we are a_ silver pro- ducing nation and interested in finding as much use for it as possible; that there will be no repudiation in coming to the silver standard, since, with the exception of about five years, it has al- ways been legal tender. They fail to see that any disaster will accrue if it is allowed to prevail, and regard its oppo- nents as in some way influenced in favor of the rich as against the poor— the capitalists of the Nast as against the agricultural masses of the West and South. There is a middle class who have uo particular leaning either way, but join the gold men in behalf of suspension until a clearer intelligence is reached by the people as to what had best be | done. The silver men, or bimetallists, | of the Cernuschi school, who hope to | see a common agreement among the | principal nations arrived at, favor at least temporary suspension as the best means of attaming in the end what they desire. —.+<>- North Carolina. The middle section of North Caroh- na, comprising one-half the area of the State, is a succession of hills and dales. Every step brings to view some new charm in the landseape—some new ar- rangement of the rounded hills, some new grouping of the tracts of forests which still cover so large a part of the country. The variations of surface, less detined at first, become more marked toward the west, and toward the Blue Ridge the country assumes a bold and even rugged aspect. The long-leaf pine, so conspicuous in the eastern section of the State, disap- pears, and is replaced by all that range of forest growth for which the State 1s so noted——a range in which there is scarce a tree that belongs to the tem- perate zone proper that is not only found, but foundin abundance. Wheat, corn, sorghum, oats, buckwheat, barley and tobacco occupy the cultivated fields. Clover and other grasses clothe the hills more or less; the larger bottoms are laid down in meadows: and com- monly the narrow flats between the hills, made by the little branches or rivulets, are sown in grass and present belts of richest verdue. The streams are as clear and pure as they flowed from their fountains, mirroring in their pools and longer reaches every object on their banks. The climate is invig- orating and wholesome (being kept in perpetual motion at all seasons by gen- tle gales) and favors active exertion. The hand of- improvement is more visible in this than in any other section of the State. This is chiefly due to two causes: Ist. Agriculture here was less dependent upon slave labor than in other sections. There were fewer slaves and hence this section suffered less from their emancipation. 2d. No part of the section was occupied by hos- tile troops, and its resources were there- fore less drained. This section is now dotted over with thrifty villages and towns. The homes everywhere indi- cate a high degree of thrift and com- fort; an unusual proportion are built in modern style and tastefully painted. Nestled amidst yards and gardens en- closed with neat pailings, flanked with orchards of fruit trees, in which a space is generally allotted to choice grape vines, they give abundant proof of ease. plenty, and in many instances of no small degree of luxury. In this section nature has distributed her blessings with a bounteous hand. Its salubrity, the variety and value of its productions, its mineral wealth, its manufacturing facilities, mark it out as one of the most desirable abodes for man, and a future center of great wealth. and population. Nowhere do the conditions which are friendly to health, to the finest physical develop- ment, to the successful exertion of in- dustries of every kind, and to rational enjoyment, exist in greater abundance than here. These bounties are visible only in part. The earth is stored with coal, iron, gold and other minerals. Explorations have demonstrated that these exist in such quantity that the section will become the seat of active mining and manufacturing industries ces a high value upon his opinions, often borrowed, though he seeks to conceal the generous author of the same. The class of men who “know it all” is numerous in every well-regulated community. In fact they regulate the community, or think they do, for in- tellectual modesty is not a conspicuous trait of their character. There are hosts of sensible men who are intelli- gent in the highest sense, and who are reserved in expressing their views and opinions, because they are conscious that they possess, after all, but a very small share of the world’s intellectual wealth. ‘These men are to be respect- ed. The great leaders of thought in these days are singularly modest men, conscious, also, that they are but stand- ing at the doors of the sacred temple of knowledge. Whatever may be our mental possessions, we should all be intellectually modest. No man, no sect, no party, has all the truth of the world wrapped up within himself, his creed, or his party. We should not be dogmatic, we should not arrogate to ourselves an infallibikitty that does not exist in man, and cannot from the very nature of his being. Thus governing and guiding ourselves, ever seeking for intellectual knowledge in a quiet and rational way, we are certain to come to the conclusion that will lead us on- ward in the right path. We shall surely learn who and what we are, how much we really know, and then shall decide that there is nothing more be- coming in man, in all the relations of life, than intellectual modesty. We do not think that home could be adorned with a motto more appropriate and significant than one bearing the pre- cious little words, “Let us be modest.” Goldsboro, N. C. Awekts — ~~ - -— Christmas and the 25th of December. {Harper's Magazine for December. ] What reason could be given for choosing one day rather than another for the Christmas festival ? The gospel, writers always meagre in dates, quite silent here. They gave no hint to the day or month of the Nativity. Oral tradition, we may be sure, was equally reticent or indifferent. ‘There were, indeed, a few scattered sugyestions of the date of Christ's birth floating here and there among the writings of the fathers; but these were all of late ong- in, manifestly unhistorical. and above all, quite contradictory. Clement, of Alexandria, said that many Christians regarded the 20th of May as the day of Nativity, others preferred the 20th of April, but he favored the 1%th of No- vember. In the Eastern Church the dth and 6th of January were celebrated as the date of Christs’s baptism, and the Nativity was joined with this on no better ground than a forced interpreta- tion of Ezekiel 1: 3, as a prophecy cf the incarnation. Others again fixed the 21st of March as the day of Christ’s birth. Between such varying and slightly supported assumptions there was little to choose. A historical date was clear- ly out of the question. Nothing was left for the church to do but to select some day on grounds of convenience and symbolic significance, and celebrate it by common consent as Christmas day. . It would take too long for me to trace the many reasons which led to the choice of the 25th of December. Jt was doubtless connected by a process of de- duction with the day which had al- ready, been generally accepted as the common date of the Annunciation and of the creation of the world. Assum- ing that the world was made in_ the spring, because it was commanded to bring forth grass and herbs, and that it was made when light and darkness were equally divided, because “the evening and the morning were the first day,” it was natural, though some- what native, to fix.upon the vernal equinox (according to the Julian cal- endar 25) as the exact date of the ereation. He who could question the value of sucha straightforward and scrip: rl argument as this must have had more logic and less piety than be- longed to the early Christians, and once having discovered by this easy method the very day om which the world came into being and the glorious light sprang out of the darkness, what more simple than to assume that it was on the same day on which the power of the Almighty overshadowed Mary, and the Day-spring from on high be- gan his entrance into the world? Nothing could be plainer. Even the in the near future.—Chicago Western World. Least imaginative of chrono- graphers could reckon forward from this fixed point of Assumption nine months, and arrive at December 25 as the day of the Nativity. And here another wonderful coincidence meets him. This isthe day of the winter solstice, the day when the world’s dark- ness begins to lessen and the world’s light to grow; the day which the an- cient wolrd had long celebrated as the birthday of the sun. The earliest mention of the 25th of December as Christmas day is found in an ancient catalogue of church festi- vals about 354 A.D. And it is sur | prising to see with what alacrity the date was received and the Nativity celebrated throughout Christendom. It seems as if they had been waiting for this festival of divine and human childhood, and was ready to welcome it at once with songs of joy. In the year 360 it was already celebrated in Rome by vast multitudes thronging the churches. Twenty years later Antioch had taken it up with greater popular enthusiasm. And in little more than fifty years from its earliest suggestion the observance of December 25th as the day of Nativity had become the universal practice of Christians. St. Chrysostom, in a Christmas sermon preached at Antioch, called it the fun- damental feast, or the root from which all other Christian festivals grow. Negro or No Negro. There is a vast difference whether it is your bull or my ox that is gored. Nothing so inflamed the rage or kin- dled the sympathies of the Northern people so largely as the exclusion of thie negro from the hotels and other public places in the South; and no weapon was_ so sharply pointed in the Civil Rights Bill as that intended to give the most ample equality for the negro at the South. But in Northern minds, what was sauce for the goose is not fit as sauce for the gander; and therefore, when the negro at the North essays to put in practice a general principle, and to feed the Northerners out of the same spoon that the South was expected to partake from, there comes a_ terrible squirming, and most loathing resistance. The latest phase of this feeling is the resistance of the hotels in Troy, N. Y., to entertain the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Now. this body is composed of the very elite of the race; educated, cultivated, well behav- ed. If anything could have proved the sincerity of Northern sympathy, it would have been by this evidence of the capacity of the lately enslaved peo- ple to rise so far above their former condition, and to prove their right to the eqnality for which «a war was fought to demonstrate. But they were negroes, only negroes, and social instincts rose superior to acts of legislation or the furors of fanaticism; and social rules will al- ways forcibly assert themselves in op- position to either, when they oppose fundamental principles.— Asheville Ci- tizen. ~—_>-- Columbia Bicycle Calendar for 1886. A truly artistic, elegant and convenient work in-cchromo-lithography and the letter press is the Columbia Bicycle Calendar for 1886, just issued by the Pope Manufactur- ing Co. of Boston. Each day of the year appears upon a scparate slip, with a quota- tion pertaining to cycling from leading publications ant prominent writers on both sides of the ocean. The notable cycling events are mentioned; and concise opin- ionsof the highest medical authorities ; words from practical wheelmen, including those from clergymen and other profession- al gentlemen ; the rights of cyclers upon the roads; general wheelins statistics ; the bene its of tricycling for ladies; extracts from cycling poems, and much other matter interesting to the public in general, and the cycler in particular, appears from day today. In fact, into a little measure is crowded ina highly attractice way the past, present and future of cycling—a vir- tual encyclopedia upon this universally util- ized “steed of steel.” The calendar proper is mounted upon a back of heavy board, upon which is exquisitely executed, in water-color effect, a charming combination of cycling scenes by G. H. Buek, of New York. A mounted bicycler in uniform is sounding the bugle-call while speeding past an echoing lake. In another view a party of bicyclers are enjoying a spin by the light of the moon, Inanother a pretty and daintily attired lady tricycler bears ev- idence of the delightfulness of this healt- viving exercise. Asa work of convenient art it is worthy of a place in office, library or parlor. ‘POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A marvel of pur:ty, strengih,and wholesomeness.

Just twenty-seven miles from the classic city of Athens, Ga., is located the thriving liitle town of Maxey’s, the residence of Mr. Robert Ward, who has just been released from a most perilous predicament, the par- ticulars of which he has consented to give to the public. He writes as follows: Maxer's, OGLETHORPE Co., Ga. July 9th, 1885, For twelve or fourteen years I have been @ great sufferer from a teprible form of blood poison which ran into the secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating sway my skull bones. I became so horribly repulsivethat for three years I absolutely refused to let people see me. I used large quantities of most noted blood remedics and app\ied to nearly all physicians near me, but my con- dition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones be- came the seat of excruciating aches and pains; my nights were passed in misery ; I was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden‘to me. Ichanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B., and sent one dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used, I was pronounced sound and well. Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me, looking like a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for the benefit of those who may be similarly af- flicted, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public, and to extend my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy. I have been well for over twelve months, and no return of the disease has occurred. ROBERT WARD. Maxey’'s, Ga., July 1, 1885.—We, the un- dersigned, know Mr. Robert Ward, and take pleasure in saying that the facts above stated by him are truce, and that his was one of the worst cases of Blood Poison we ever knew in our courty, and that he bas been cured by B.

WASHINGTON, January 2.—The debt statement issued today shows a decrease in the public debt during December of $9,089.939.84; total cash in the treasury, $494,361,954.60; gold certificates outstand- ing, $105,359,601; silver certificates out- standing, $93,179,465; certificates of de- posit, $13,790,000; old demand and legal tender notes outstanding, $346,738,806; fractional currency (less the amount esti- mated as lost or destroyed), $6,959, 153,77. Washington, Jan. 2—The secretary of the treasury today received the following telegram from solicitor McCue, who is in New York: “Mr. Acton refused to remove the scals from the sub-treasury vaults. Under my advice the treasurer has done so, to carry on the current business.”’ Treasurer Jordan telegraphed as fol- lows: “Have taken possession of the office un New York, Jan. 2.—Treasurer Jordan, of the United States treasury, at Wash- ington, took charge of the sub-treasury in this city, today. Mr. Acton, whose term of office expired December 31, was on hand this morning, also. It is his inten- tion to remain at his office until the ac- countants have declared everything about the sub-treasury all right. There was considerable delay in opening the vaults and for this reason business was at a standstill for an hour or two. New York, Jan. 2.—Thos. G. Acton. as- sistant treasurer of the United States, in this city, received a letter December 30, 1885, trom secretary Manning, ordering him to turn over his office to Mr. C.N. Jordan, treasurer of the United States. This morning Acton at once obtained the following opinion from Messrs. Geo. Bliss and Elihu Root: NEW YorK, Dec. 30, 1885. To Hon. Thos. C. Acton— Sir: We advise you that your term of office expired December 20, 1885; that you have since been holding over and that your relations in this respect will not change January 1, 1886:*that you have no legal right to turn over your office and the property in your charge to any person not nominated by the President and con- tirmed by the Senate, and that you can- not safely obey any order so to do. No person not confirmed by the Senate as your successor can give you. a proper re- ceipt or release you and your bondsmen from the responsibility of turning over the office toa person not confirmed by the Senate in order that the operations of the great office of assistant treasurer should not be brought to a_ standstill. You would doubtless asa good citizen feel disposed to obey any order to that effect, but as the operations of the office have gone on for ten days since your term expired, we see no reason why they may not continue in the same way for a few days, until the president of the Sen- ate can act. In view of these considera- tions we hardly think that the authorities at Washington can be contemplating the action reported by the press, but it would be well for you to call their attention to the views entertained by yourself and your counsel. The following letter was delivered to Mr. Jordan this morning at the sub- treasury, in answer to” his demand for the surrender of the office: January 2nd, 1886, Hon. C. N. Jorpan, TREASURER oF U.S. Dear Sir: [ have received a letter from Hon. Daniel Manning, secretary of the treasury, directing me to surrender the of- dce of assistant treasurer of the U. S. to you. You now desire to take passession of this office and of the vasious funds in my charge as assistant treasurer, basing your action upon the letter of the secretary of the treasury and demand from me my consent to co-operate in this action on your part, Inreply Ihave to say that I am here ready to continue the performance of the duties of this office and cannot assent by word or act tothe assumption of the con- duct or control of this office by any one not appointed by the President and con- firmed by the Senate as my successor. You have caused your seat to be placed on the vaults ccntaining the funds to make necessary payments trom day to day and thereby interrupt the performance by me of the regular every day and necessary du- ties of the office. If this interruption is relicved I shall be glad to act in the office in the same manner that I have done since the 20th of December ulto. If this is not permitted to me whatever shall be done by you in regard to the business of this office must be done without my assist- ance or assent and against my protest. No one can regret more than I that the action of the government to furnish a successor to me in the office of assistant treasurer has been disappointed and that a temporary embarrasment to public business should possibly occur, but I have no right by any act or omission ofsmine to jeoparpize the rights or increase the risks of my bonds- men. I am sir, your obedient servant, Tuos. C, Acton, Assistant Treasurer, Mr. Acton made no further objection and Mr. Jordan took contre!.

New Orveans, January 1.—An Indian Territory special says that the Cherokee Indians are greatly excited over the mea- sures introduccd into Congress looking to the epening of the Indian country to white settlement, and the allotment of lands in severalty among the Indians. | Public sen- timent is opposed to Congressional inter- vention generally, although there are many Cherokees who believe it best te ac- cept the situation rather than struggle against the inevitable. Before adjourn- ment the Cherokee council adopted resolu- tions expressive of public opinion op the subject. These resolutions declare that the Cherokees hold possession of their lands by fee simple title, and cannot be de- prived of the same except by the volunta- ry consent of the law making authority. They further declare that all that portion of the Cherokee lands lying west of the 68th meridian, and which have not been conveyed by patents from the Cherokees, are still the property of the nation. The United States bas not now and never has had any right to appraise, take or pur- chase any unoccupied portions of these lands, save with the consent of the Cher- okee people. The fina] resolution says the Cherokee nation docs not authorize the sale of any of its lands fur the purpose of white settlement or for any other purpose The pending Congressional measures also affect the Creeks and the Seminoles. It is claimed, however, that the latter tribes are willing to scll a,portion of their lands for white settlement, and allow the coun- try to be opened up, but the hostility of the Cherokees is likcly to unite all three tribes in active opposition. —— -+<-— President Cleveland, in a letter of a few days ago, gave a poor opinion of newspa- pers and their reliableness.

The falsehoods daily spread before the people in our newspapers, while they are proofs of the mental ingenu- ity of those engaged in newspaper work, are insults to the American love of decency and fair play of which we boast.” ap Senator Beck gave a high opinion as to the President’s ability and declared that his first message was the “most statesman- like, taking it as a whole, that has ever emanated from the Executive Mansion since I have taken part in publie affairs.” But he did not agree with him in all he suid. He in dignified and courteous terms said: “I disagree with the President and his officials as to the management of our cur- rency and aur coinage, and I propose, re- spectfully, but plainly, to state the reasons why, and to point out the remedy I recom- mend as a substitute for changes proposed in the message and official reports.” Holding sueh yicws be would not be fit to represent a great State if he had not the muanlincss to spcak out.— Wilmington Star The officer was on horseback, while| wv: ti = é nick? > o* FOR ROWAN COUNTY. ‘SHOWING RECEIPTS.

H. N. Woopson; —______——- ogo NO BOON THAT SCIENCE HAS”*CONFERREB Has been fraught with greater blessings than that which has accrued to the inhabitants of malarial ridden portions of the United States and the Tropics from the use of Hostetter’s Sto- mah Bitters. The experience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to effectually combat the progress of intermittent, congestive and biloug remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frail- est constitution, and derived from purely bo- tanic sources, affords a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disorder of the stomach. liver and bowels, fer general debility and renal in- activtiy, it is also a most efficient remedy. Ap- petite and sleep are improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors from the blood, and enriches a circulation impoverished by mal-assimilation. oO Apportionment of SCHOOL MONEY TO THE DIFFERENT School Districts of Rowan County, FOR THE YEARS 188%,-S6, AL $1.40 per Capita.

A building and loan association will probably be organized here soon. Problem—how many letters will be dated January, 1885, during this month? The public scales is the most attractive of all the city property. Look at in when passing. It. is fo be hoped that one hundred thousand gallons of paint will be used here during 1886. Mr. J. M. Brown has moved into the store which has been occupied for sever- al months by C. T. Bernhardt. Drs. Whitehead and Trantham are now occupying the office fitted up especially forthem. It is a strong firm. Burton McNeely, the popular barber, who has been laid up for sometime with erysipelas in one eye, has about recoy- ered. The rains of Sunday and Monday last were extraordinary. The Yadkin river was higher Tuesday morning than it has been in two years. Some of the young people who do not dance enjoyed a pleasant social evening at the residence of Mr. C. F. Baker, on last Tuesday. Hon. John S. Henderson, who spent the holidays at home, returned to Wash- ington on Sunday night. Congress re- sumed business on the 5th inst. Services and preaching inthe Lutheran church by Rey, Wm. Stoudanmire, the pastor, on next Sunday at ll a.m., and 7 p-m. Sunday school at 3 p. m. Hon. J. J. Hemphill, a member of Con- gress from South Carolina, spent a few days here this week visiting the family of Maj. Erwin, his brother-in-law. Mr. Nat Taylor, the Asheville photog- rapher, has gotton into the photograph gallery at last, and is ready to make ev- erybody look pretty. He is in the Crawford building. The Choral Union will meet on Thurs- day evening at Mrs. Thos. Murphy’s. This is a temporary change of the day— the regular weekly meetings will be on Friday after this weck. Mr. H.W. Shelton, the gentleman from West Virginia who has been looking around for a suitable place for his lum- bering operations, has settled at Mr. Frank Brown's, in Davie county. He goes right to work, sawing lumber. ° There have been scarcely any changes made in business circles here this New Year, which is an indication that all are on a firm basis, and satisfied with their lot. Turning over new leaves and register- ing vows is the common thing at this season. Better not make any promises to yourself or any one else if you have not an honest purpose to keep them. The Graded School ‘‘called to books” again last Monday, and the little folks are seen about eight o’clock in the morn- ing toddling along in that direction, with red ears and noses. Mr. R. W. Price has resigned the rc- ceiving clerkship at the depot here. He has filled this position for five years and three months and has only lost two days during this time. If you havea business and desire to increase it, advertise. Try it this year. Lay asside a certain amount for the pur- pose, and as the opportune moment passes seize it. Judicious advertising will pay you. The week of prayer, appointed by the Evangelical Alliance, is being observed here by the congregations of the Baptist, Lutheran, Methodist and Presbyterian church. Services every night in one of the churches. Don't fail to see the flag drill tonight. The young ladies will present a new and novel sight in their uniforms. A small admission fee—20 cts—will be charged. Begins at 9:30, at the Pleasure Club room. “Emancipation day,” the Ist inst, was not observed here as formerly by the emancipated. Since the change in the administration—funds are not furnished to defray the expenses of big days. Votes are not worth as much as they have been. Mr. Wm. West has finished his new nesidence on the easternend of Lee street. He sold the old house formerly used as a residence toa negro, and it was easily moved to another part of town by being set on truck cars and hauled on the rail- road track. The Commissioners of Salisbury have been talking, among themselves con- cerning the advisability and _practica- bility of emiting the rock, that one ele- meat in nature may gush forth in suffi- cient quantity to protect this town against the ravages of another element, known among bad men as fire, There have been quite a number of family and social entertainments in Salis+ bury during the last two-weeks, which have been keenly enjoyable. They were small gatherings, but with congenial hearts. The First National Bank of Salisbury makes a splendid statement, as published in last paper, for the year 1885. It is most wisely officeted, and managed in the most excellent manner. The lie about the North Carolina clay eaters, which emanated from the pen of a Philadelphia sportsman, has had a large circulation in the press of the Union. Newspapers from many of the States have been sent to the WATCHMAN with this yarn marked, Crawford & Co., is the name of a new meat-market firm. Mr. Chas. Crawford and Mr. R. W. Price are the proprietors, They have improved their place of busi- ness, which is just opposite Meroney & Bro., on Main street. The phantom ball given by the Pleas- ure Club, on last Thursday evening was another success. The Club have given the young ladies a most enjoyable season. This week the season closes with a flag drill on this (Thursday) evening, anda grand fancy dress ball on Friday even- ing. The beautiful weather came to a close with last Sunday’s rain. The water courses in the county are full and will probably remain so for weeks to come. The cold may bring snow, and the farm- ers prefer it now, rather than later in the spring. Later—Wednesday—the bright sun is warming nature into life. The birds are cooing and carrying straws to and fro, and from all visible signs, there will never any morerain or snow orany winter. Bright, glorious, sunshiny, gladsome springtime weather is all of winter we have had. The WATCHMAN enters the labors of another year with the full determination to do all for Salisbury, for Rowan, and for the State that earnest, honest endeavor can accomplish. The rest of the country will have such attention as can be spared from home interests. All elseshall be sub- servient to the best interests of the com- munity, both in industrial and_ political affairs. The largest sale of really valuable property, lying in and near the town of Salisbury, is advertised by Theo. F. Kluttz, Commissioner, in this paper. There are more than 2,000 acres of this land, and it comprises some of the best farming lands in the county. The ad- vertisement may be seen on the 4th page of this paper. The new year has now gotten well started on a twelve months tour. A re- porter from this office will accompany it throughout the entire trip and will make notes by the way for these columns. The “uprisings” and “down settings,” the good and bad, the “pros” and ‘“‘cons’’ of everytRing seen on the way will be pub- lished. Those who are interested in the journey of 1886 and desire to “keep up with the procession” should subscribe for the WATCHMAN, , —~—>- Asking Negroes to Move. There is a quiet, red whiskered man here who is seen to converse with every negro who will lend himear. Itis sup- posed that he is an immigation agent and that he is trying to persuade the ne- groes toleave N. C. for. Kansas. The negro has a perfect right to exercise his own judgment in matters of this kind, but his white friends beg to suggest that he stay where he is and work harder this year than last, and he will be the better off. Don’t leave expecting to grow rich and have an easy time. You will be sadly mistaken, and should you return at all, it will be by begging bread and _ leg loco- motion. Those who have gone are hang- ing on the verge of death, either by star- vation or freezing. They are not happy. This advice is purely gratuitous and is thrown out only from a _philantropic motive. ee - The Week of Prayer is being observed by the various churches of the town in their united force of pastors and people. The program of subjects and churches is as follows : In all churches Sunday, Jan. 3d, sub- ject, Occupy till l[come. In the Lutheran church Monday, subject, Praise and thanksgiving, opened by Dr. Rumple. In the Presbyterian church Tuesday, subject, Humiliation and confession, opened by Dr. Bobbett. In the Metho- dist church Wednesday, subject, The church and the family, opened by Rey. Wm. Stoudenmire. In the Baptist church Thurday, subject, Home and foreign missions, opened by Dr. Rumple. In the Presbyterian church Friday, subject, Na- tions and governments, opened by Rev. Wm. Stoudenmire. On Saturday in the Lutheran church, subject, The Christian life, opened by Rev. T. C, Smith. The call of the Evangelical Alliance, of Great Britain and America, to a union service of all protestants in this week of prayer, is significant, and insures the blending of the denominations in prayer at least to a practical and blessed power. May this week of united prayer have its desired effect upon the individuals, homes, churches, and nations! And may this be a year of great blossing, joy, and prosper- ity to us all. ee County Affairs. The Board of County Commissioners met as usual on the first Monday in the month, all the members present. Allow- anee was made for the maintenance of the poor. Some other moneys were granted for work done on the Lincolnton road and on the new house which is being built for the poor. The Board ordered that Dr, L. W, Cole- Sp re palaatenneetneeenesiee teen eee Health be appointed a committee to con- fer with the several drug firms in-Salis- bury for the purpose of ascertaining whether a special or. wholesale rate can be had for filling prescriptions and furn- ishing drugs and medicines used at the county poor house and jail, and report to the next regular meeting of the Board. --wAdam -Brown reported an average of 24 paupers during December—9 whites and 15 negroes. He also submitted an itemized statement of the expenses for amounting to $41.05 Some accounts were audited and com- mittees appointed, and the Board ad- journed to meet again on the 13th of January. i Se ge ee Salisbury. ne: The New Year finds Salisbury as town much improved. Her business men enter the new year with: bright and cheering prospects. The trade of the town during the last three or four ménths has been larger than for years past. There people from the distance find that a change forthe better may be found in Salisbury. It therefore behooves the peo- ple of this town to wake toa more liberal and generous spirit in all their business transactions; to encourage anything in the town which is calculated. to help in the growth or prosperity of the place- The Ashdville Citizen very wisely admon- ishes the citizens of that town in lan- guage which will chime into this note: Our people can not safely depend upon outside agencies or influences to build up their city. These agencies, at. best, are only tributaries to the uses our own peo- ple see fit to apply them to, and, of them- selves will prove comparatively worth- less unless our people should bestir them- selves, and constantly, to get the most they can afford. Let our people be united and energetic, and use well the many advantages we now have, to push our city more rapidly upon the grand road of progress and prosperity. Let them spe- cially be more energetic in behalf of local interests than individual benefit, and another new year will find us far in ad- vance of this one upon which we have just entered. Sea egy ge Removal of an Old Landmark. For more than fifty years, the visitor to the east end of Main street, has seen near the street side, an unsightly old. cellar, overgrown with briers and tangled vines. In the march of im- provement in Salisbury, the property has rc- cently changed hands, and every one strolling in that part of the town this week might see some laborers engaged in filling up the cellar, pre- paratory to the erection of a fesidence upon the deserted site. That cellar has something of a curious history. In the early part of this cent- ury a thrifty German named Bettz, whom the English called Pitts, for short, occupied that corner, with a large log house, and kept there a cake and beer shop. Tradition says that many was enacted in Herr Bettz’s shop by the beer-loving young men of two gen- But pale death that treads with impartial foot to the palaces of kings, and the a roaring scene erations ago. shops of beer sellers, called away, one day the proprietor of this shop, and Frau Bettz was left sad and solitary—for ascason. But time soon cured her grief, and she was mated again, this time to Herr Schlichter, who was celebrated for two peculiar things. First he was born with two teeth and never grew any more. His jaws were armed with bones so that he could crack nuts, or do anything else with his mouth that other people can do. Whether they were upper or lower teeth, molars, incisors, cuspids, bi-cus- pids, or canines, tradition refuses to reveal. His second peculiarity was the lack of per- spiratory pores, or such rudimentary ones, as rendered perspiration impossible. In the win- ter time Herr Schlichter got along well enough, but when the thermometer ranged up in the nineties the trouble began. To render life tol- erable on such days he had a huge trough dug out, and filled with cold water from the well, in which he would lie and muse on passing events until the heat should abate. It is not positive- ly known that this cellar furnished a location for his trough, but as it would doubtless be the most private, and the coolest spot on the prem- ises, itis more than probable that it was in some secret recess of this underground retreat that the redoutable Schlichter wallowed during the dog-days. In due time he also, and his good Frau went over to join the great majority, and the beer shop was deserted. The house then became a school-room for a seasgn, and then tumbled down and was removed. As the vine and brier covered cellar could not tumble any lower than it was, it lias remained to this day. Let this slight record be for its passing bell, as it silently sinks into oblivion. —. = .

Just at this season, a brief resume of operations conducted in the mining fields of the State during the last six months may prove of interest. In compiling the following list, some few mines have been added which are expected to be in opera- tion soon. The rest have been worked during the last six months. As the list is confined almost entirely to the “gold belt,’ it is deemed advisable to give them under their county headings: GUILFORD. Fisher Hill. DAVIDSON, North State Old Emmons. RANDOLPH.

The above shows more than fifty active mines in or near the “gold belt.” It does not include mining for corundum, mica, asbestos, gems or iron. From such a showing big things are tobe expected this year. SIR SPARE a VMI SB OEE EOE SEE EE ETE Shotwell Monument Fund.

Epitor: I suppose I have got my foot into this subject. “Another J.P.” ought to have sign- ed his artfele C.C., as it bears, I think, the ear marks of a.County Commissioner. In my communication I only opened the way for areply, but no one ever thought fora moment that it would contain any such conflicting information as it does; for he winds up by saying that there was in fact no vacancy In the Board of County Com- missioners. Well! well!! Now let us return to the beginning and see what evidence there is to sustain the vacancy, and what to sustain Another J. P’s broad assertion. Ist. We have Hon. T. J. Sumner’s resignation of the ofilce of Commissioner tendered and accepted by the remaining four Com- missioners; his resignation is published to the peo- ple at large and to the Justices of the Peace in par- ticular, through the columns of your paper, and I know you to be too cautious an editor to have pub- Mshed it without having itin writing over his own signature. This certainly creates a vacancy. 2d. Again we buve, in a notice in your paper, over the signature of the Clerk, notifying the public and es- pecially the Justices of the Peace that there is a vacancy caused by Col. Sumner’s resignation. 3d. In the same paper, over the same signature, and by the authority of the Commissioners, is an order directing the Justices of the Peace of the County to meet in Salisbury on the first Monday in December, 1885, to elect a person to fill the vacancy referred to inthe notice. 4th. A notice to the Justices of the Peace was printed in hand-bill form, over the name of their Clerk, containing the notice and or- der just referred to, and this he was careful to see that each Magistrate in the county got a copy of. Now, here we have four written, unimpeachable witnesses that there was a vacancy, or the County Commissioners were acting a farce of the worst klud. Now let us see what they said and did in person, during the interval. 1st, I {met Col. Sum- per on the street in Salisbury, and told him that I contemplated offering a resolution to the Board of Magistrates when they met to refuse to accept his resignation. He at once told me not to do so, as he had positively and in good faith resigned for the reasons published. He asked me not to think of not accepting it, but to look about for a man to take his place. I then began tothink, and ina few hours saw Mr. Mac Harrison, and the thought oc- curred to me he would make an excellent Commis- sioner. I then conferred with W.L. Kluttz, who agreed with me as to Harrison, provided he would serve; and at his suggestion I at once called upon Mr. Harrison, who informed me that he did not seek or want the office, but if the Justices of the Peace elected him with any unanimity, he would serve them to the best of his ability. This answer I liked far better than if he had said he wanted the office and would do all he could with our ald to se- cure it. I at once told Mr. MeCubbins and Mr. Kluttz what his answer was, and they, like myself, were well pleased with it, and determined to press him for the vacancy. Some days after I also saw Col. Sumner and Mr. Baker. and when I told them of the man and what he said, they joined heartily in his support for the vacancy, Col. Sumner making some very complimentary remarks about Mr. Har- rison. Now you will see at least four of the Com- issioners understood there was a vacancy, and joined {in advocating the promotion of a certain man to fill that vacancy, aud the week following one of these Commissioners caused a notice to ap- pear in both papers suggesting Mr. Harrison’s name to the Justices of the Peace as a suitable man to fill the vacancy. Much more testimony from others might be produced, but we thtnk in the minds of afl unbiased individuals the testimony is overwhelmingly and unanimously in favor of the fact thet there was andis a vacancy. Even the ac- tion of the County Commissioners on the first Monday of December plainly shows that they then thought there waS a vacancy. and even bowjat least two of them are loud in their denunctation of the acts of the Board of Commissioners on that day in that particular. Now, what evidence have we on the other side? None that I can see but the bare assertion of Another J. P., which will not be a feather’s weight against the other testimony in the other end of the scales. There is some talk about the proper way and the proper body to receive and act upon the resignation. ] think the resignation ought to reach the Justices of the Peace through the County Commissioners; do not think their ac- ceptance or rejection material, as the Justices of the Peace are the proper persons to fill Such vacan- cies. In other words an official body cannot create a vacancy that.they cannot fill. As to What I think was the whole and only duty ofthe four remaining Commisstoners, when the resignation of Hon. T. J. Sumner was placed in ithe hands for the action of the Justices of the Peace, is that they should have at once elected one of their number chairman pro tem., then issued the notice to the Justices of the Peace, informing them of the resignation of Col. Sumner, and ordering them to meet in Salisbury to take action on it. This, I think, is all the law gives them power to do. And when the Justices would have met they would have been the ouly proper body to pass on its ac- ceptance or rejecuon. To make it plain, we will suppose the Justices of the Peace had, without any hindrance according to their order, met and rejected the resignation ano Col. Sumner had ac- cepted, the acceptance of his nation by the Commissioners would have been w€rthless. Again, suppose the Justices had met, as they were order- ed, on the first Monday in December, and had ac- cepted the resignation (In spite of the action of the Commissioners at the time) and had ciected an- other man to fill the place, could anyone be found to say that that man was not the Commissioner instead of Col. Sumner? ItM#nk not. He would have been a Commission¢r, duly elected, and could not have been prevented from serving, if he chose to serve, by the Commissioners or anyone elae, bo matter how unfit he may have teen for the place, the law, unfortunately, not requiring ejther inteili- nce or nsibility. Now what I have written not intended to weund the feeli of anyone, for I have a very warm and kind fee for every one of them, and am truly sorry that their official acts tn this matter Lee room for erjticism and dis- sailsfaction. So, with kingneas for al] and malice toward none, I close. ad,P, } which has just passed away from us forever are mote important to us ‘as a Christian ‘people than those which mark the progress of Christi- anity, The great event of the year, we suppose, wasthe publication of the revised edition of the Old-Testament. For fifteen years the best Biblical schelars of this country and of Great Britain had been engaged isthe work of this revision and not until last. May was the result of their labors given to the pubiic. It was re- ceived with less general interest than that which was displayed in the revision of the New Testament that appeared in 1881, the fact be- ing due possibly to the other fact that the changes inthe text of the fist named book were neither so numerous nor so radical as in the case last named. The present state of Hebrew scholarship did not permit a revision as searching as in the instance of the New Tes- tament and the revisers moreover bound them- selves to stick closely to the Masoretic text. That the new version will supplant the old can no longer be maintained by anybody. It will be used for the purpose of comparison and will be in the highest degree valuable in that way, but the old version will remain the stay and com- fort of the English speaking world as it has been for generations. In America the most striking phenomenon of Christian progress has been the tendency of all denominations toward union in the great objects of their existence. There has been more harmonious action than ever before and greater toleration of differences in doctrine, polity and liturgy. The fact leads to the hope that after all there will eventually be a gathering of all church bodies into one fold, even before the translation is made into the world where the differences of men shall be as naught. The time for this is still however far in the future, we are afraid, but the long strides which have been made towards it should rejoice the hearts of all good people, whatever their religious belief. One sign of this move- ment toward unity was the congress of churches held at Hartford, wherein topics of burning in- terest were discussed with freedom and yet without bitterness by represeptatives of church- es as wide apart in point of polity and doctrine as the Episcopal, the Baptist and the Unita- rian. There was no great “revival” in the churches during the year, but evidences appeared that a very general revival has been begun and that its fruits will soon be manifest. A notable “de- parture”’ has been the Episcopal “mission” in New York, which has undertaken a work very much like that done by the revivalists of the Methodist church in the South, with a success which has been conspicuous. ments have been in progress in most of the churches of the country, with results no less promising. In Georgia there have been special- ly impressive movements whose effect so far, at least, has been great. The Roman Catholic church was made promi- nent by a plenary council held at Baltimore in November, the most important of whose de- crees approved by the Pope having been that which discourages the use and sale of liquor by members of the church. Steps were taken also at the same council for the establishment at Washington City, with an ample endowment, bf a great American Roman Catholic universi- ty. In England the question of disectablishment has been forced into prominence, and to the Similar move- alarm of churchmen on the subject may un- doubtedly be attributed the failure to elect a Liberal majority in the present House of Com- mons. In matters more purely spiritual than this the church has made marked progress, one of the means used having been the “mission,” which as we have said has more recently been adopted in New York. In the English Presby- terian church a revised and shortened confes- sion of faith is betng considered and will prob- General missions during the In Japan much ably be adopted. year have borne great fruit. work for good has been accomplished; in Tur- key a decidéd step forward has been made; in Spain the hostile attitude of the government has been changed to one of encouragement; in Burmah the whole country has been opened to Christian influences by the British and in Africa the misstonarics have made con- conquest siderable progress. It appears, therefore, that on the whole the cause of Christianity has triumphed gloriously duritg 1885 and because of the firm founda- tions which have been laid we may expect even greater success in the course of the new year we have entered. ____—aa-0-> oe The Necrology of 1885. * In the United States, among the distin- guished dead arc ex President Gen.

Ministers are mortal, and from the Greensboro North State we glean the fol- lowing particulars of the elopement of Rev. M. i. Hammer, with a Mrs. Parrish. Hammer is a preacher in the Methodist Protestant Church, and served the past year on the Haw River Circuit, coming to Greensboro on Noy. 30th. He bought three railroad tickets to Little Rock, Ark. That night he boarded the train at High Point, and with him went Mrs. Parrish, her 17-year old son and a two-year old daughter. Mrs. Parrish is the wife of an honest, industrious citizen of Guilford, residing near Freeman’s Mill. Hammer and Mrs. P. have been suspected of inti- macy for some time.

The earliest menticn of the 25th of December as Christmas day is found in an ancient catalogne of church festivals about 354 A.D. And it is surprising to see with what alacrity the date was received and the Nativity celebrated throughout Christendom. It scems as ifthe world had been waiting for this festival of divine and human childhood and was ready to wel- come it at once with songs of joy. In the year 360 it was celebrated in Rome by vast multitudes thronging theeburches. Twen- ty years later Antioch had taken it up with great popular enthusiasm. And in a little more than fifty years from its earli- est suggestion the observance of December 25th as the day of the Nativity had be- come the universal practice of Christians. St. Chrysostom, in a Christmas sermon preached at Antioch, called it the funda- mental feast, or the root from which all other Christian festivals grow.

Woodleaf Items. A merry Christmas anda _ happy new year is the greeting from Wood- ‘leaf. Plenty of fun for old and young during the holidays. Several basket parties in the neighborhood. The young men and old men too, gathered each morning and went fora hunt. Mr. *rwin from Mooresville was here with his young houndsand they captured the rabbits by the bag full. A store near has six or eight hundred skins of cotton tails, which will give an idea as to the success of the holiday hunts. The fun is about over now, and Rice & Bailey have tooted the whistle and gone to ginning cotton. There isa good deal of ginning to be done yet. The sale of Geo. R. McNeil’s pro- perty was pretty well attended. Pro- perty brought fair prices with the ex- tien of the horses. Big Alex Cor- fli the “Collerd Dimicrat” bought a horse and saddle for $3,75. The saddle sold the horse. Jonn Johnston and “Clod Knocker” have taken the Mc- Neil farm in copartnership. | R. B. Bailey Killed a porker recently which kicked the beam at 466 me EB. a + Hon. James B. Beck's Great Silver Speech IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED SATES, ON DEC. 21, 1885. (vin Duties on Imported Goods. The Senate proceeded to the consid- eration of the following resolution, submitted by Mr. Beck on the 18th instant : Whereas the laws of the United States require that all duties on imported goods shall be paid in coin: and | Whereas it is provided by section 3694 ofthe Revised Statutes that ‘‘The coin paid for duties on imported goods shall be set apart as a special fund, and shall be applied as follows: First, to the payment, | in coin, of the interest, on the bonds and | notes of the United States ; second, to the purchase or payment of one per cent. of the entire debt of the United States, to be | made within each fiscal year, which is to | be set apart as a sinking fuiid, and the | interest of Which shall in like manner be ! applied to the purchase or payment of the public debt, as the Secretary of the Treasury shall, from time to time, direct ; third, the residue to be paid into the 'Preasury.”’ Resolved, That the Committee on Fi- nance de instructed to inquire whether the laws above stated now are, or have heretofore, been obeyed ; and if they have not, to report by bill, or otherwise, such measures as will secure their enforce- ment. Mr. Beck: Mr. President, no man | will deny that the laws passed by Con- ‘gress are as imperative on the highest otticial as on the humblest citizen. i; venture to assert that no man will con- tend that the laws recited in the pre- amble to the foregoing resolution either are now or have for many years past been obeyed. All sorts of excuses may be and have been offered for their vio- lation, still the fact remains that the laws of the land have been disregarded by our executive officers, and the legis- lative power has been subordinated to the will of men whose duty it is to submit to them and to execute them as they exist. They have no nght to de- cide whether a law is good or bad, pol- itic or impolitic ; so long as it is law they must be compelled to render im- plicit obedience to it. They have ofh- cially informed Congress for years past that they neither require coin to be paid for duties on imported goods, nor do they set apart the coin or its equiva- lent so received aga special fund to pay the interest on our public debt, or to procure bonds for the sinking fund. On the contrary, they admit that as the existing laws do not coincide with their views of what is politic they disregard them. I deny their mght to do so, be cause I believe many of the evils the country is now afflicted with grow out of the disregard of the plainest provis- ions of law by our Treasury officials. I have no faith in the remedies which are now and have for past years been pro- posed for the evils they allege to exist. Chat the country is not as prosperous as it ought to be I admit, but | insist that the remedy is not to be found in striking down our silver coinage or the currency based upon it, but rather in requiring our public creditors to take it as the law and the contracts they re- quired us to make demand. I do not propose to find fault with much that 1s recommended by our ex- ecutive officers; indeed, upon all ques- | tions, except that of coinage and the payment of our public debt, I heartily endorse what they adyise. No Secre- tary of the Treasury has ever, in my opinion, expressed more enlightened views in regard to our present system of tariff taxation than the present Sec- retary, and I assume that he has but elaborated the views of the President. No more intelligent and statesmanlike message, taking it as a whole, has ever emanated from the Executive Mansion since I have taken part in public affairs; but I disagree with the President and his officials as to the management of our currency and our coinage, and I propose, respectfully but plainly, to state the reasons why, and to point out the remedy 1 recommend as a substitute for changes proposed in the message and official reports. I believe that it can be demonstrated cost of production. |tainly protection does not protect. The ‘great American agricultural industries tom houses to our public creditors in the manner and for the purposes pre- scribed by the laws of the United States. Therefore I have recited these laws, which are plain and simple, in the preamble ; and in the resolution have asked the Committee on Finance to tell the Senate whether they have been ex- ecuted or not; and if not, to report measures which will secure their en- forcement. I admit that even when that is done other combinations must be broken up before we can beconie a prosperous commercial people, but as all measures for tanff and tax reform must be originated at the other end of the Capitol, I am content to await the ac- tion taken there, being confident that the Exeutive is in full sympathy with all proper efforts in that regard. There can be no dispute as to the fact that there must be something wrong in the management of public af- fairs when the ports of great nations like Germany, France, Austria, and other countries are arbitrarily closed against our cattle, hogs, and other food products, without, as the President tells us in his message, “present prospect of reasonable change.” It is not a healthy condition of things when wheat, hogs, and other farm products, debarred from foreign markets in retaliation because of our protective tariff, sell at home for prices which will barely pay the As to them cer- which give employment to more than half of the workers for wages, whose welfare is held up, properly so, as the highest aim of legislation, and whose products constitute at least 80 per cent. of our exports, receive no real consider- ation here, and are not even ranked among the industries of the country over which Congress is asked or expect- ed to throw its protecting arm. These great interests are the unor- ganized, unequipped, and therefore neg- lected militia, whose strength cannot be brought to bear with half the effi- ciency of a single regiment of thor- oughly armed veterans, fighting for special interest. ‘This is illustrated here and now by the zeal everywhere dis- played by the combinations of bankers and bondholders and their able and well paid press to maintain their bonds at a premium of 24 per cent., or rather to increase that premium to 30 or 40 per cent. at the expense of the already impoverished masses of tax-payers. It seems as though it was thought to be the duty of Congress to see to it that the rich should be made richer by mak- ing the poor poorer. Why should we be in hot haste to strike down our sil- ver currency for fear of a fall in our outstanding bonds below 24 per cent. premium? Have the representatives of the people any interest in maintaining, far less in increasing, the premium on bonds bearing 4 per cent. interest, be- yond 24 per cent.,when we must soon become the purchasers of them at any premium, or else contract our currency at ruinous rates by locking up in the Treasury all our surplus revenue, as re- duction of taxation seems to be impos- sible, by the passage of laws which will still further depreciate the prices of farm products, now so low that produ- cers cannot rase them and pay wages to their laborers on which they can live? When fat hogs sell at 34 cents a ound and other things in proportion, when all the world is combining to ex- elude our agricultural products from their markets in retaliation against our protective system, which prohibits our farmers from buying what they must have with the proceeds of what they must sell, unless they pay 46 per cent. on the average more than they are of- fered them for, in order to enrich a few organized combinations of manufactur- ers, who seek no markets abroad and refuse to sell their products in compe- tition with so-called paupers with whom the farmers must compete, our condi- tion is not satisfactory. But I agree that the Senate cannot inaugurate measures to relieve the country f om oppressions of that char- acter; therefore i propose to seek relief in the treatment of our circulation, not by destroying it, but by extending its usefulness. The present crusade against silver is only another evidence of the organizations of wealth; they have al- ways secured all they demanded, how- ever unjust their demamds; they have succeeded in alarming the President and the Secretary of the Treasury as they have done several preceding adminis- trations; they threaten to use the pow- er which our laws give them over our currency, of withdrawing from circula- tion among the people and, if need be, from the country the gold they control, and thus derange, even if ruin follows, the business of the people. Every con- cessioa increases their audacity and adds to their power. A stand must be made somewhere by the representatives of the tax-payers, or an absolute sur- render of all the monetary interests of the country into their hands must fol- low. A mere reference to the past legislation of Congress on this subject proves what I say. When it was first asserted, in 1868, by the bondholders, as the time approached when the Unit- ed States could lawfully pay off the 5-20 6 per cent. bonds, and when the outstanding principal of the public that gold and silver coin, and the paper representatives of both, stand on an ab- plenty of forest, meadow, and good dwel- solute equality before the law, and that ling and out houses, for sale by BRUNER & McCUBBINS, Real Estate Agents, Salisbury, N.C. three-fourths of our present troubles ‘grow out of the refusal of our officials to pay the money received at our cus- debt exceeded $2,600,000,000, that the honor of the country demanded that the principal as well as the interest on the bonds should be pad in gold or p silver coin, a cry of indignation was raised all over the land against such a SALISBURY, N. C., JANUARY 14, 1886. demand by all honest, disinterested men. . | They were told, and tuld truthfully, ‘that all the bonds they held had been ‘purchased with legal tender notes at par; that for each $100 in greenbacks _they paid to the Government they had _ received a bond for $100, bearing 6 per | cent. interest, payable in gold or silver |eoin; that the greenback when they ‘exchanged it for the bond was only | worth 50 cents on the dollar in coin, ‘and that it was an outrage in the face of the contract they had made, with the privileges given to many of them in addition as national bankers to have currency issued for them to loan out on the security of their bonds equal to 90 per cent. of the bonds deposited, to de- mand that the principal of their bonds should be paid in coin. They knew— everybody knew—that the claim was false. The legal tender notes had and continue to have an indorsement on their back that “This note shall be re- ceivable at its face value for all debts, public and private, except interest on the public debt and customs dues,” so that there could be neither doubt nor dispute either as to the law or the fact. Nobody denounced the impudent de- mand of the bondholders more emphat- ically than the present presiding officer of the Senate [Mr. Sherman]. He said in his letter to a friend in 1868: DEAR Str: I was pleased to receive your letter. My personal interests are the same as yours; but, like you, J do not in- tend to be influenced by them. My con- struction of the law is the result of care- ful examination, and I feel quite sure an impartial court would affirm it, if the case could be tried before a court. I send you my views as fully stated in a speech. Your idea is, that we propose to repudi- ate or violate a promise when we offer to redeem the “principal” in legal-tenders. I think the bondholder violates his promise when he refuses to take the same kind of money he paid for the bonds. If the case is to be tested by law. I am right; ifitis to be tested by Jay Cooke’s ad- vertisement, Iam wrong. I hate repudi- ation or anything like it, but we ought not to be deterred from doing what is right by fear of undeserved epithets. If under the law as it stands the hold- ers of the five-twenties can only be paid in gold, then we are repudiators if we propose to pay otherwise. If the bond- holder can legally demand only the kind of money he paid, then he is a repudiator and extortioner to demand ndowey more valuable than he gave. Truly yours, JOHN SHERMAN. Every word he said was true, and re- mains true to this day. The pledge is on the back of every greenback now that it shall be receivable, at its face value, for every debt, public and pri- vate, except interest on the publie debt and customs dues. The men who de- manded more were repudiators of the public faith and credit, as he truthfully and indignantly said. Mr. Stevens. then the leader of his party, denounced their claim still more fiercely, and threatened to abandon his party and jein the Democracy, even with “Frank Blair” on the ticket, rather than coun- tenance such an outrage on public de- cency. The subsequent legislation by Con- gress only proves the truth of Mac- aulay’s observation that if large pecu- niary interests were concerned in deny- ing the truth of the attraction of gravitation that most obvious of phys- ical facts would be strongly and ably disputed. {t seems to me that any set of men who would deny the fact that the legal tender note, indorsed as it was and is, which had purchased the bonds at its face value should be received again by the bondholder in payment of the prin- cipal of the obligation he held, would not hesitate to deny the truth of the attraction of gravitation. Yet these men rot only denied it, but in 1869 procured the passage of an act, of Congress, against the vote and protest (Iam happy to say) of every Democrat in both Houses, declaring that the principal of the bonds should be paid in coin—in gold and silver coin, as both are named. Legal tenders were only worth 50 cents on the dollar in coin when the bonds were bought; they were worth from 66 to 70 cents when when this act was passed. The act was simply legalized robbery. The bondholders and their attorneys in and out of Congress knew it, and knew that no court would sustain such 4 law. The indorsement could neither be erased nor sworn off the back of the legal tender note, and nobody could plead ignorance of the law or the fact that it was to be received at par in payment of the principal of all our bonds. , Therefore they caused the act of July 14, 1870, to be passed, extending the time of payment, reducing the interest, and exempting the new bonds in ex- pies terns from all taxation, State, ‘ederal, or municipal; and to prevent all mistake or misapprehension as to the character, quality, and weight of the money in which payment of the new bonds should be made, they caused to be printed on each bond as _ part of its obligation, “that it shall be paid in coin of the standard value prescribed hy law on the 14th of ie 1870.” both of the standard value prescribed by the law of July 14, 1870, and were then as now both full legal tenders for all our obligations. All the bonds that mature in 1892 and 1907, amounting to about $1,000,000,000, stand today unchanged, and payable as required by the act of 1870. The remnant of those ayable now have been changed, the interest has been lowered, and the time extended, but the same provisions gov- The present gold and silver coin are} ern them, and the same conditions are written out as part of the contract in all of them.

One of the features of today’s pro- ceeding in the Senate was the intro- duction of a bill by Senator Vance, of North Carolina, providing for the re- peal of the civil service law, and all ad- ditions and modifications that ma have been made to the original bill. Senator Vance says he introduced the bill in good faith, and at the proper time he will deliver a speech in expla- nation of it. He does not expect it to receive many votes in the Senate, but from private conversation he believes there is a majority who would like to see the law repealed, yet they have not the courage to face public sentiment and vote as they feel. Hesays the civil service system is a farce anda sham, which the rank and file of the Democratic party do not understand, nor do they have any faith init. Du- ring the last Presidential campaign the Democratic stump speakers started out to talk to the people about the tanff. An order was sent out from headquar- ters to drop the tariff question and let the battle cry be “Turn the rascals out.” The Senator says he went down into his own State and informed his people that if they would come up and vote for Grover Cleveland and honest Government the rascals would be turn- ed out and honest Democrats appointed to fill their places. The people came out and voted as they were instructed, but now, when they come forward and ask why the rascals have not been turn- ed out, they are informed that a mis-; take has been made, as it is now dis- covered that there are no rascals in office, and the campaign cry was sim- ply gotten up to deceive the people. “In the weak and sickly platform,” says the Senator, “we were promised that the tariff would be reformed. There will be no reform of the tariff this Congress,” he added very emphati- eally. “Then we were told that the rascals would be turned out and even that. promise has been broken.” He said he did not wish to come out too heavily on the Administration at one time, but will have to oppose its recom- mendations on the silver question, and also make aspeech against civil ser- vice and endeavor to show the follies of it. — The Rabbit Trade. NORTH CAROLINA FURNISIIES ONE THING FOR VIRGINIANS TO EAT. [ Greensboro Workman. | Almost from time immemorial, or since the completion of the R. &D. con- nection here, Greensboro has enjoyed the proud distinction of the source of rabbit supply for the Legislature of Virginia, when in session at Richmond asat present. It seems that the old fields of Virginia were made bare of rabbits during the war, by reason of the conscription of rabbits, to supply snacks at the depots on the routes lead- ing to and from Richmond, since when the draft has been heavy upon North Carolina. Our State, however.has shown the sane fruitfu'ness in rabbits as she did in furnishing soldiers, and still responds to the draft with marvelous readiness. With a mixture of pride and jealousy we have seen our thou- sands of rabbits hurried off tothe capital city of Virginta—prom because of our resources, and yet jealous lest there be not enough rabbit left to supply our home demand. Imagine then a new source of uneasiness at seeing it stated in Webster's Dollar Weekly that the mail carrier from Hillsdale to Reidsville carried down 52 rabbits on a recent trip. Greensboro is the place to get tickets for rabbits bound to Richmond. We claim that our brand of rabbits is better known and more highly prized than any other in the Richmond mar- ket, and this is the place for their send- ing off. As to the declaration of the Weekly that a rabbit when properly cooked “is good encugh for a king to eat,” we have to say that aking is no better than anybody else, and hardly so good—though we never saw one. To make a guess, and moderate one, we would say that one thousand dollars’ worth of rabbits and rabbit skins have been bought in this market since the first of November, to be used up in food for the aristocratic members of the Virginia Legislature and to Le con- verted into high priced imported furs for their wives and daughters. Time was when the rabbit was a subject of song and merriment, as in the old song: “Old molly hare; what you doin’ thar? Settin’ in de corner smokin’ a segar.” Since those old times the foot of a rabbit has come to be thought possess- ed of bewitching power, and Richmond drummers have been known to carry them in their pockets for use when traveling in dark and lonesome places. The rabbit is in the ascendant, and it may be said with truth that he is “here to stay.” ~—>- ——_—__ — An avowed woman hater in Penn- sylvania has committed suicide. No wonder.

His Desperate Struggle and how It Ended. - Just twenty-seven miles from the classic city of Athens, Ga., is located the thriving little town of Maxey’s, the residence of Mr. Robert Ward, who has just been released from a most perilous predicament, the par- ticulars of which he has consented to give to the public. He writes as follows: Maxkry’'s, OGLETHORPE Co., Ga. July 9th, 1885. For twelve or fourteen years I have been a -great sufferer from a terrible form of blood poison which ran into the secondary, and finally it was pronounced a tertiary form. My head, face and shoulders became almost a mass of corruption, and finally the disease commenced eating away my skull bones. I became so borribly repulsive that for three years I absolutely refused to let people see me. I used large quantities of | nearly all physicians near me, but my con- dition continued to grow worse, and all said that I must surely die. My bones be- | came the scat of excruciating aches and | pains; my nights were passed in misery ; I | was reduced in flesh and strength; my kidneys were terribly deranged, and life became a burden to me. Ichanced to see an advertisement of B. B. B., and sent one dollar to W. C. Birchmore & Co., merchants of our place, and they procured one bottle for me. It was used with decided benefit, and when eight or ten bottles had been used, I was pronounced sound and well. Hundreds of scars can now be seen on me, looking lke a man who had been burned and then restored. My case was well known in this county, and for the benefit of those who may be similarly af- | flicted, I think it my duty to give the facts to the public, and to extend my heartfelt thanks for so valuable a remedy. I have) been well for over twelve months, and no return of the disease has occurred. ROBERT WARD. Maxey’s, Ga., July 1, 1885.—We, the un— dersigned, know Mr. Robert Ward, and take pleasure in saying that the facts above stated by him are true, and that his was one of the worst cases of Blood Poison we ever knew in our courty, and that he has been cured by B.

In the face of these facts it is simply absurd for anybody to assert that they are payable in gold alone, or that the tax- payers of the country are under any obli- gation. express or implied, cither to de- monetize or stop the coinage of the silver dollar, which is of the standard value re- quired by the act of July 14, 1870, or to increase its weight thirty, forty, or any other number of grains, because Eng- land, to whom we have ignominiously surrendered the carrying trade of this country and the world, with her 200,000, 000 of serfs in India and elsewhere, and Germany, after extorting 1,000,000,000 of ld from France, have combined in the interest of their money changers to depre- ciate silver, or put up the market price of old 20 per cent. = If the gold mines of California and Australia had continued to produce abundantly, and the Comstock lode and the Leadville mines had not produced silver, 80 that the market value of the two metals as bullion in London had been reversed, the argument could be made quite as plausible that the silver dollar was the constitutional unit of value in 1870, which the bondholders have a right to demand. There is not an outstanding ofthe United States, nor of any State, municipality, corporation, or individual which ean not be legally and honorably discharge | by the payment of the present standard silver doilar. What right has Congress to deprive the debtor of that right by adding more silver to the coin than he agreed to pay, or by stopping its coinage so that he eannot obtain it? It is as palpable a violation of a contract to increase the obligation of the debtor as it is to impair or reduce the standard value of the coin which the creditor stipulated in his contract should be paid to him. When Congress has once coined money and regulated the value thercof, and con- tracts are based upon it, the right to pay according to its terms can not rightfully or justly be taken from the people, and Senators and Representatives who deprive them of that right will have unpleasant explanations to make to the men whose burdens are increased by their vote. It is simply an attempt to repeat the legisla- tion of 1X69, and the same pretenses are made‘now that were made then. An hon- est dollar for the laboring man was then as now, held up as the patriotic object of those who repudiated the greenback, as higher wages to labor is claimed to be the prime object of all the patriotic combina- tions of monopolists and machine-owners, who tax us all 46 per cent. under the pres- ent protective tariff and yet hire the cheapest pauper labor they can import. It is the wolf guarding the lamb, the spi- der the spider the fly, and the hawk the Sparrow. I propose to test the question in the light of the facts furnished us by our Treasury officials. We are, of course, as good judges of the value of the facts they furnish and as competent to draw correct conclysions from them as they are. The last report from the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, relative to our foreign com- mercé for the fiscal year of 1885, proves that there is no such condition either in our trade or exports of metals, whether of coin or bullion, as to render it necessa- ry to strike down our silver coinage. It shows (page 1) that our total exports for 1885 were $726,682,946, and for 1884, $724,864,552, while our total imports for 1885 were $577,527,829, and for 1884, $667 ,697 693. It will thus be seen that while the value of our exports in 1885 exceeded that of 1884, our imports were more than $90,000, 000 less. The same report shows that for 1885 our exports of gold were $8,477,892, and for 1884, $41,081,957, or over $32,000, 000 less for the last fiscal year than for the year before. Our exports of silver for 1885 were $33,750,633, and for 1884, $26, 051,426, or nearly $8,000,000 more last year than the year befor¢, while our im- ports of gold last year exceeded those of the year before nearly $4,000,000. These facts falsify the clamor that gold is fleeing from”’our country, and proves that all the (pretended) evils of a single depreci- ated gilver standard are myths. Nor is it true that our silver coin has depreciated since July, 1870, when tested by any other standard than the market value of bullion in London. The report above referred to (pages 5 and 6) gives the New York or export pui- ces in currency of the commodities which constituted over 80 per cent. of our ex- porte, nearly all agricultural products in 1870 and 1885 ; from which it will beseen that the silver dollar, which it has become fashionable to malign and denounce in aristocratic circles, will now purchase from 25 to 50 per cent. more of all that the toiling millions of this country labor to produce, and of all that men need money to obtain, than it would in July, 1870. To avoid all dispute as to these facts I quote the language of the report, as follows ;- The following table shows the annual average export price in currency of the articles of domestic product named, and for the years indicated : , obligation Year ending June 30 1870 eG «much more of all he needs than it woul , discharged honorably ‘silver dollar, his contract in a coin which will procure for its owner in 1870? It is only another phase of the constant struggle of the rich face of the poor, and the favored few to enrich themselves by class legislation. — While no one cun deny that every obli- ‘gation of the United States and every contract within our own _borders can be with the present we are told that our foreign obligations and relations are such ee old will be at a premium very soon, an will be on a basis of degraded silver at once if we do not increase the weight ed| oy stop the coinage of silver; that all Eu- rope is horrified at our stupidity on dis- honesty, or both. Even England, whose gold is said to be used freely to buy Sena- tors and Representatives to vote for rev- enue tariffs apainst protection to monop- olies called American industry, 1s held up now by the gold monemetallists as an example worthy ‘of all imitation; her financial policy is lauded as the perfec- tion of human wisdom. Fortunately the official reports overthrow all the reckless assertions of the gold worshippers. The- Register of the Treasury (see report for this year, page 4) shows that out of $2,071, 460,262 registered bonds of the United States outstanding only $11,927,900, or a little over one-tenth of 1 per cent. is held abroad, and of those which can be paid before 1g92, foreigners hold only $34,150, which is less than the interest on the money now lying idle in the Treasury for one day at 3 per cent. per annum. These facts coupled with the fact that our exports of goods exceeded our imports $130,000,000 this year, and our im orts of gold exceeded our gold exports 18,213, 804, an amount greatly exceeding all our bonds held abroad, settle the question. The falsity of the clamor about foreign complications or gold premium is made too apparent for any sensible man to be deceived by it. The press is filled with articles day by day which seek to make people believe that all other nations have ceased to coin silver, and that we alone are stubbornly persisting in forcing it upon the couftry after it has been abandoned everywhere else. I propose to disprove these allegations by officially stated facts. The Director of the Mint in his last report shows (pages 131, 132) that for the year 1884 the world’s production of gold was $92,292,569; of silver, $115,147,878; and that $99,459,240 of sold was coined, while the coinage of silver last year amounted to $90,039,448, of which the United States coined $23, 991,756 of gold, and $28,534,866 of silver. Other nations, therefore, coined in 1884, 361,504,577 of silver, showing that we are far from being alone in the coinage of that metal. England coined $3,204,824 of sil- ver last year and $6,201,517 the year be- fore, to add to her stock which has been accumulating for generations ; while she has coined silver for India in the last three years to the value of $68,234,000. The workers for wages in England to- day get their pay in silver coin, and the question is never mooted by them as to the comparative bullion value of the sil- ver and gold coin of that country. Even Germany, nothwithstanding she pretend- ed to have demonetized silver twelve years ago, coined in 1582 $6,407,157 of it to add to her vast stack on hand; her la- borers are paid in it now. No complaint is made anywhere, here or in Europe, about silver coin except by the holders of our bonds, who seek to increase largely the purchasing power of gold, or, which is the same thing, reduce the value of all our property from 25 to 50 per cent. be- low its present value when tested by the single standard of gold, which they claim shall be paid by us to them and to them alone. ‘They do not seek to establish the single gold standard, they say; they are bi-metallists. They agree that silver is a legal tender for all debts and obligations of the Government, except those held by them. It is good enough to pay the la- borer, the soldier, the sailor, in short, all who work for the United States, but they insist that it is dishonest in us to pay it to them, although their bonds and obliga- tions all show on their face that it is a le- gal tender in payment of them all so long as it is coined of the standard value fixed by law, July 14, 1870, as it is now and al- ways has been. Our dollar is more valuable than that coined by most of the other leading na- tions, France included, theirs bearing the relation of 153 to 1 with our gold, while ours is 16 to 1. | need not repeat in de- tail what the official reports show in re- gard to the gold, siiver and paper curren- cy of the several countries. It is sufficient to prove by them that while the difference in the market value of gold and silver in London operates to degrade their silyer coin more than it does ours, France and other countries maintain their silver and paper in all transactions, public and pri- vate, at par with gold under far greater difficulties than we have tocontend with, no matter from what standpoint the com- parison is made. The Comptroller of the Currency in his last report, page 26, says : " From information communicated to the State Department by the Minister of the United States to France, it appears that notesof the Bank of France are legal tender, and are redeemable at sight, either in gold or silver 5-franc coins, at the option of the bank (silver coins of smaller denominations being legal tender only to the extent of 50 francs.) On October 1, 1885, as Shown by the returns of the Bank of France, the notestin circulation amounted to 2.786,051,930 francs, the bank holding at that time cash amounting to 2,265,636,853 francs, of which 1,162,987,434 francs was gold and 1,102,649,419 francs silver. , It will be observed that the Bank of France alone holds more silver coin than than the total silver coinage of the United States. Up to July 1, 188, we had only coined 208,000,000 silver dollars. The silver coin in the Bank of France, at five franes to the dollar, amounts to $220,529, 884, or over $17,500,000 more than our to- tal coinage. How many millions more are in the hands of her people I am not advised—more, perhaps, than are held by the Bank of France, yet they are alla fuil legal tender and all as good as gold. France is little more than two-thirds as large as the State of Téxas; her internal trade and commerce is a mere bagatelle compared with that of this almost bound- less continent ; her population is not two- thirds as large as ours and far less enter- prising; her foreign commerce is much smaller than ours; gold can be trans- ported from the Bank of France in Paris to the Bank of England in London in a 8|few hours; they are not so far apart as New York and Washington. Why is it not done? Why is she not brought to the so-called degraded silver standard? Five more years of coinage of silver at the to grind the | pa take his duty under that lew ; no public ereditor can complain when the interest d|on his bond is paid in the coin which is | set apart as a special fund, first for the ment of the interest due him. Yet millions, hundreds of millions, have been paid for duties on imported goods sihce 1878 in silver coin and silver certificates, which is only a convenient form of hand- ling silver, as the coin they represent is ours when the certificates are paid to us; et not one dollar, so far as I am advised, ever been paid in silver as interest on the public debt or in the purchase of a single bond for the sinking fund, though it has been recognized as a coin which constituted the special fund created by law by its acceptance in payment of duties on imported goods. The public creditors have unjustly demanded gold tor the in- terest on their bonds without any sem— blance of right, and every Secretary of the Treasury has disregarded the law and ac- ceded to their demands, Our officials have thus aided and abetted the organization of the most powefful body of capitalists in the United States against silver Coihaze; men who control the currency of the country and hold the obligations of all its business concerns; Men who can inflate or contract the circulating medium upon which all our commercial transactions depend, men that hold $737.742,850 of bonds of the United States maturing in 1907, on which they pow demand a premium of 24 per ceat., and seek by striking down silver still fur- ther to increase their premiums.

Ii the managers of the finances of France had treated her silver coinage as our offi- cia!s have ours she would have been pros— trated, financially, at the feet of En_lund and Germany long ago. Why have the holders of the dishonored trade-dollar been importuning Congress for years to give them in exchange for ita standard dollar containing 4124 grains, while it contains 420% Simply because one is a legal tender and will pay the debts of its owner, and the other will not. Yet tested by the bullion value the rrade dollar is worth the most. When our Treasury of- ficials yielded to the ciamor of the bond. holders and violated the law by achnitting their rizht to refuse silver received at the custom house in paynrent of the interest or principal of their bonds, they degraded our standard silver dollar by depriving it of its most important function as a legal ten- der; and now, having captured the exccu- tive branch of the Government, the bond- holders and their attorneys are besieging Congress to enforce their demand for gold alone in the settlement of their claims, all law, justice and exuity to the contrary, notwithstanding, by striking down the sil- ver of the standard value of July, 1870, which they then demanded and inserted in the tace of every bond they bold as one of the coins in which the bond should be paid.

It is not often that this paper gives up its columus to a speech, but in this case Senator Beck is talking for the good of the people, and those who have an cye to read and want to know the truth and the importance of sil- And please bear in mind while you read, that there is a party in this country—the bond holders and monopolists—who are making war on silver because they know that the destruction of it as currency would enrich then by increasing the value of gold. But read—Mr. Beck will tell you all about it. Senator Vance has also promised to ven- tilate this subject, and we may pnblish his speech: for Vance never trifles on import- ant questions, and always says something worth hearing, as the reader knows, when he stands up to talk, ver money, should read this speech. So - Mr. Cowles’ Revenue Bill. On the 5th of January Hon. W. H. H. Cowles, Representative in Congress from this district, introduced a bill which strikes out many of the abusesand evils of the Internal Revenue law and its ad- ministration, and, if passed, will work almost as great a revolution in the pres- ent iniquitous workings of that law as if it were to be abolished. Mr. Cowles, we are assured, is no less now than ever be- fore in favor of the total abolition of these laws, and will when the time comes for action, give the weight of his influence to those members who will strive to that end.—Lenoir Topic. Some reform is probably necessary oefore the complete abolition of the bill. That the democratic party is squarely and honestly pledged to wipe out this systein is a fact too well known to need mention. Yet tosee with what avidity democrats devour the offices which they have so long denounced, seems an indi- cation that the ‘‘golden winged butterfly” is as fond of the nectar he sipsas the more detestable ‘“‘red-legged grasshop- per’ was of the stems and leaves of the flower. Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander, applies here as well as else- where. If Col. Cowles can modify the of mountains in Western North Caroling, known as “Far Rangé,” a most singular cave.” In the summer months a current of air comes from itso strongly that a person cannot walk against it, while in the winter the suction is justas great. The cool air from the mountain in sum- mer is felt for miles in a direct line from the cave. Attimes a most unpleasant odor is emitted upon the current from the dead carcasses of animals sucked in and in that section is accounted for in this way; they range too near the mouth of the cave and the current carries them in. At timeg, when the change from inhala- tion begins, the air is filled with hair of various animals not unfrequently bones, and some carcasses are found miles from the place.” It is peculiar to caves to have currents of air traveling in directions— out insummer and in in winter. This is, of course, due tothe temperature out- side the cave. In summer the heat out- side draws the cooler air out, and in winter the warmer temperature. inside draws. current of the eolder air to it. This is the case at the Mammoth, and | in fact, atall cavernsof any size. But the idea that such a current could be of sufficient force to draw in or blow out objects of any size or weight—animals for instance—is too bald a yarn to have credence even with the modern school teacher. Ifthere were such a cavern in existence, knowledge ofits location would have been heralded long, long ago, and its fame would have been commensurate with that of any cavern in the world, while into its history would have been woven many a legend of Indian and pioneer. -° SANITARY ENGINEERING is the title of a 90 page pamphlet, issued by the State Board of Health.

The experience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to effectually combat the progress of intermittent, congestive and bilous remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frail- est constitution, and derived from purely bo- tanic sources, -afferds a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general debility and renal in- activtiy, it is also a most efficient remedy. Ap- petite and sleep are improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors from the blood, and enriches a circulation impoverished by mal-assimilation. — i ae Apportionment of SCHOOL MONEY TO THE DIFFERENS School Districts of Rowan County, FOR THE YEARS 183°,-S6, At $1.40 per Capita. | | i | | on Nu m b e r | rw Co l d pu p ’ s . | To w n s h i p s } No .

This being ended, the dancing began, and progressed in regular order with nothing to mar the pleasure of the evening. It would bea pleasure to de- scribe minutely the many costly and elegant costumes worn on this occasion, but our space is too limited for such extensive notice. Most of the toilets were becomingly appropriate, and many of the characters personated admira- bly conceived and executed. Let imagination picture them as the reader scans the list: Miss Mamie McNeely—Night—black dress il- luminated with golden crescent and stars,— forming a bright feature in this social horizon. Miss Minnie Scales—Aurora—an airy cos- tume of pink and white bespangled with stars, and so charmingly enhancing the ethercal ap- pearance of the wearer as to convince the gay chevaliers that “the spirit of morning was whispering hope.” Miss Carrie Freer—Evening Star—a white dress over which a large, resplendent star was worn in her cloud-like tresses, and myriads of lesser ones supplementing her costume, shed thin, silvery light. Miss Bessie Kerr—Sun Maid—was attired in white, and over her dress and around her head gleamed a unique representation of sunshine. Miss Nellie Holmes—White Rabbit—dress of soft, white goods, white turban and slippers, decorated with the heads of the little animal This costume was very accurate in all its details. Miss Bessie Necly—Spanish Lady—so per- fectly represented as to induce a young gentle- man to address her in Spanish. Miss Mamie Mock—Snow Queen—a very el- egant. graceful costume, trimmed with swan’s the costume was designed to represent. down. Miss Lottie Mock—Di Vernon—silk hat and very becoming riding habit. Miss Shober—Persian Princess—a very hand- some and elaborate oriental costume, strikingly becoming to the lovely wearer. Miss Mamie White—‘Where are you going, my Pretty Maid ?”—made a quaint picture in a Kate Greenaway dress. Miss Mollie Murphy—Sorceress—looked as if she had just wandered from a band of gypsies Miss Ella Brown—Quakcress—quite becom- ing prim little Quaker dress, with “shaker” bonnet to match, all in exquisite taste. Miss Sudie Murphy—Watteau Shepherdess— a lovely costume of pink and blue, beautifully decorated with exquisite eglentine roses— greatly admired. Miss Carrie Crawford—Flora McFlimsy— elaborately dressed—a fine suggestion of “Noth- ing to wear.” Miss Annie Bingham—Silver Spray—wore a} sheer white dress and wings over which the silver spray was artistically visible. The cos- tume harmonized with her sweet, fresh face. Miss skirt of striped blue and white, over-dress of Pauline Parker—Evangeline—a short light blue, blouse of white linen with high bodice of blue like skirt, and cross, rosary and Norman cap. A neck and long sleeves, becoming and well chosen charater. Miss Emma Councill—Forest Queen—dress of green and white garnished with parti-tinted autumn leaves, necklace and bracelets of gild- basket of ferns and autumn leaves. Asa child of nature she played her part well. The following gentlemen appeared in fancy dress—-some very elegant and tasty costumes among them : Theo. B. Brown, Chevalier, court of Charles IX. Ferrand Haughton, Uncle Sam. A. C. Harris, Chevalier, of Louis XIV. John Boyden, Irishman. Tam MeNeely, Mr. Tony Luinpkin. W. C. Lindsay, George Washington. Ed. Young, Troubadour. John Moore, Sailor. P. B. Beard, Gabriel. John Young, White Prince. Robert Ramsay, Crusader (in armor). F. F. Smith, Knight of the White Plume. James Enniss, Oscar Wilde. Theo. Parker, Captain of the Horse Marines. Malcombe Manly, Scotty the Jockey. Besides those in fancy dress, there were a large number of ladies aud gentlemen in even- ing dress, and a number of visitors, among them Miss Maggie Merrimon, of Raleigh, Mr. Schenck, of Greensboro, and Mr. Witherspoon, of Statesville. This ball closes the season, and a gay and happy one it has been to the young people. The Pleasure Club, composed of the best young men of the place, has certainly done the hand- some thing for the social circle of the commun- ity, and too much praise cannot be given them for their generosity in this particular.

KAOLIN consists of silica and alumina and results from the decomposition of feldspar. It is used in the manufacture of china ware, and is found in abundance in this State. Guilford, Iredell, Ashe and Macon have large beds of it. Prof. Kerr, in his geolo- gy of the State tells tells this story about kaolin: ‘A curious fact may be mentioned here which I came upon recently, that the first mineral export from North Carolina, if not from America, more than two hun- dred years ago, was kaolin, from the mica mines of Mitchell or Macon; for it¢hap- pened that at that time all Europe was wild inthe search of the earth out of which china ware was fabricated, the Asiatics and Asiactic traders having care- fully concealed their art from the outside barbarians of Europe. This mineral, therefore, bore a high value; and there is none better found in Europe today than that which the Indians “packed” from the Smoky mountains to the coast, under the name Unakeh, their name for the Smokies, fans white,) still called in places, Unaka in Mitchell, and Unakoi in Cherokee. These Indians “were not miners, but this kaolin or white earth had been exposed like snow banks in huge dumps and open cuts by an ancient min- ing people, theMound Builders, a thou- sand or two years ago, who obtained here the mica which is found so abun- dantly among the remains of those peo- ple, all over the Northwest to the great lakes.” GARNETS, in crystals, (crystalizes in the isometric system,) all sizes from a grain to twenty pounds in weight. Garnet is a silicate of various bases—protoxide and sesquioxide —and has a hardnes of 6.5 to 7.5; specific gravity 3.1 to43. Itis of very common occurrence in this State. In Burke they have mills for crushing it. The crushed material is shipped and manufactured into abrasives. The clear varities are used as gems and there are some exquis- ite shaldes, including the rare almandine, found in Burke and Alexander counties. In nearly all of the western part of the State garnet is found.

Great -Salt Lake is, in fact, nota branch of the sea at all, but a mere shrunken remnant of a very 1 fresh water lake system, like that of the St. Lawrence chain. Once upon a time, American geologists say, a huge sheet of water, for which they have even in- vented a definite name, lake Bonne- ville, occupied a far larger valley among the outliers of the Rocky Mountains, measuring 300 miles in one direction by 180 miles in the other. Besides this prinfitive Superior lay a t second sheet—an early Huron—( Lake Lahon- tan the geologists call it) almost as big and equally of fresh water. By and by—the precise dates are necessa- rily indefinite—some change in the rainfall, unregistered by any contem- orary, made the waters of these big lees shrink and evaporate. Lake La- hontan shrank away hike Alice in Won- derland, till there was absolutely noth- ing left of it; Lake Bonneville shrank till it attained the diminished size of the existing Great Salt Lake. Terrace after terrace, running in_ long parallel lines onthe sides of the Wahsatch Mountains around, mark the various levels at which it rested for a while on its gradual downward course. It is still -fallmg indeed, and the plain around is being gradually ‘uncovered, forming the white salt encrusted shore with which all visitors to the Mormon city are so familiar. But why should the water become briny? Why should the evaporation of an old Superior produce at last a Great Salt Lake? Well, there is asmall quantity of salt in solution even in the freshest of lakes and ponds, brought down to them by the stream or rivers, and, as the water of the hypothecated Lake Bonneville slowly evaporated, the salt and other mineral constituents re- mained behind. Thus the solution grew constantly more and more con- centrated, till at the present day it is extremely saline. Professor Geikie (to whose works the present paper is much indebted) found that he Hered on the water in spite of himself; and the un- dé@ sides of the steps at the bathing places are all encrusted with short stalacites of salt, produced from the drip of the bathers as they leave the water. The mineral constituents, how- ever differ considerably in their pro- portions from those found in the true salt lakes of marine origin, and the point at which the salt is thrown down is still far from having been reached. Great Salt Lake must simmer in the sun for many centuries yet before the On the Sleeping Car. Dover (Del.) Sentinel. “Have you heard about the Seaford man who never used a sleeping car until the Norfolk line down the Penin- sula was opened?” asked a railroad conductor of a newspaper man the oth- er day. He replied be hadn’t, and the conductor continued: “Well it sounds a good deal like a fish story, but it’s true. This Seaford man—TI won't give him away—was on his way home from his first visit to New York. He had never been on a_ sleeping-car before in his life, and he seemed to be considera- bly mystified concerning its interior arrangements. He was too proud, how- ever, to ask any questions. The berths were, of course, all in order for their occupants, but something seemed to be amiss to our unsophisticated passenger. He was the first to make preparations for bed, but he did it with a great deal of deliberation. He sat down on the lower berth, pulled off one boot, and then glanced anxiously around. It was fully five minutes before the other boot came off, but when it did he had:solved the problem. Pushing his boots under the he started for the rear platform and nothing was heard of him for some ten minutes. Then he put his head in at the door and called out: ‘All you in there look out, for I’m a coming! And he did, too, with a rush. He had undressed out on the platform, made a bundle of his coat, pants and vest, and as he shot into his berth after adash up the aisle he remarked, half aloud, to himself: ‘Dod durned, ef ‘twarn't kind of cold out there on that blamed piazur.’” A Note of the Times. Touching the transformation in the South which the war produced, the substitution of one set of social, indus- trial and political usages and institu- tions for another, or, as our friends of the North prefer to phrase it, the in- troduction’ here of the “higher civili- zation” that has long obtained there, several apparently minor but deeply significant facts should be put on re- cord for the philosophic consideration of future students of history. Taking Virginia, of which State only we can speak with certainty, as an illustration of the southern system, we note that before the war there was not in all her borders such a thing as a pawn-broker’s shop or a junk shop.

Jarvis says, that our peo- e have given little or no attention to co}. ecting and preserving authentic accounts of the important events that make up the history of the Stat. -Wehave allowed Many recious events to pass out of memory and never having been commited to the “art preservative,” te be forever lost. Many of those that have been in a way recorded are in dispute, so that while there is no State richer in such precious memories than ours probably none has ever done so little ss preserve them. It is so, also, says the Goy- ernor, with regard, to the great and good men of the State, whose lives make up her glory. “The State does not possess even a photograph of one of her distinguished sons. During my six yearsstay at the cap- ital, I was often painiully reminded of this fact. Persons from other States often yisi- ted the executive office, and asked to be allowed to see the pictures of the Gastong the Grahams, the Morcheads, the Badgers, the Braggs, and the like, and I was obliged to tell them the State possessed no memo— rial of these great sons who had shed so much lustre and renown upan her name.” This state of things certainly cught not to continue. We are now a great common wealth, materially as otherwise, and the slight outlay suggested by Gov. Jarvis would be but a trifle, while the good it would soon accomplish in rescuing from oblivion the names and the deeds of North Carolina’s statesmen and patriots would be far beyond estimate in dollars and cents, We cannot afford to postpone the matter further. Longer delay will but increase the shame of our situation. We use the word shame because it is really shameful that we should let perish the memories of those who gave glory and powcr to the land we have inherited. Tl-is isa practical age, but no civilized community can disregard the matter to which Gov. Jaryis refers even now and not suffer in name and in Jame asa consequence. We have a history of which any people might well be proud, illustrated by deeds of brilliancy wrought by the sons . of the State. We have also always had conspicuous virtucs peculair to our people. These should be made to stand out in the sight of the world like “apples of gold in pictures of silver,” and we should take pleasure in bringin» about this copsumma- tion.—Ners and Observer. ae oe North Carolina.

The Senate adopted a rule yesterday that no intoxicating liquor shall be sold hereafter on the Senate side of the Capi- tol, and a lively discussion took place when the subject was up_ before the Sen- ate. Several of the tipplers of the body insinuated their abhorrence of liquor in pecksniffian speeches. One or two avowed themselves teetotalers, and one who is known to always keep a supply of old Bourbon in his committee room, announc- ed himself the supporter of Riddleberger’s amendment that no liquor shall be per- mitted in committee rooms. The discus- sion, however, announces to the people how discretitable and disgraceful has be- come the use of whiskey and wine about the halls of Congress. Many a man is ruined by comin Congress, and the instance of Belford, of Colorada, is the most notable of today. When Belford was elected he had the brightest prospects before him of any man in public life. He had a memory which could retain Webster’s dictionary, a wit which could keep Congress in roars of laughter, a command of generalized knowledge which left him never at a loss from ignorance of any subject that came before the House, and an intellect quick to understand aud take advantage of the moment. He came here a sober man and had just begun his bright career when, in addition to tackling bills in Congress, he commenced a fight with liquor. Liquor beat him in the end, and during the last session his amusing antics under its in- fluence on the floor of the House became almost painful. He has now reformed through the ipfluence of his wife, I under- stand, and Colorado men tell me he is building up a big practice in the courts of that State. Returning to the Senate it is interesting to look at the various beverages, Frye, Blair, Teller, and Joe Brown are among the tectotalers, and Brown is one of the first temperance men in Georgia.

There are a number of articles of daily consumption which have pro- duced an untold amount of misery and have been condemned by hygienists ever since the beginning of history. Lard has contributed its share, as is well known, and now a substitute has been discovered which is equally as di- gestible and nutritious, and can_ be placed on the market at a cost so low that it is cheaper and much better for most culinary purposes. The follow- ing article, by Mrs. J. P. Walker, of St. Louis, Mo., is self-explanatory : “T have been using cotton-seed oil for more than ten years. In view of this long experience, I think I am fully prepared to pass judgment upon its merits, and | unhesitatingly say that I regard it as far superior to lard for cu- linary purposes. When~ properly used it is imperceptible to the taste, except perhaps in the case of biscuits which are to be eaten cold for lunch; in that case lard or butter is preferable, but for everything which is to be eaten i1mme- diately the oil cannot be detected. “For frying fish and oysters it 1s less liable to burn than lard, and a much larger quantity can be used without waste or, extravagance, as what is left can always be strained into a jar and kept for repeated use, with the addition of more as needed. It does not become stale or rancid, and does not retain the odor of fish. For frying fish or fritters or baking waffles and batter cake, it should be kept on the stove in a suitable vessel, or they will absorb too much of the raw cold oil. For corn bread I add it hot the last thing; this makes the nicest egg bread without eggs. For waffles made with cold boiled rice, or corn-meal batter cakes, the addition of a little oil in the batter means it as rich as though two or three eggs were used. I have not tried it for cakes, except for soft ginger- bread, where it perfectly supplies the place of both butter and eggs. For brewing chopped onions and flour for stews and gravies, it is not so liable to burn as black as lard, and gives a very rich appearance, as more or less of the oil rises to the surface in ‘eyes.’ I first began the nse of oil from hygienic, not from economical motives, as [| could then procure only the highest priced bottled salad oil. The oil as it comes fresh from the refinery is limpid, pure and sweet, with the color, taste and odor of the bottled salad oil, sup- posed to be genuine imported olive oil, the most of which is, however, either lard oil or cotton-seed oil—the highest price being paid for the bottles and bat- | the ed labels, not for the contents. y gienic point of view, I con- sider it a most valuable substitute for lard, keeping the blood free from im- purity and humors, with which it is so frequently loaded where lard and but- ter are freely used incooking. I think that 1 have said enough to show that in my experience, at least, it proves a most valuable substitute, not only for a +lard, but for lard and eggs both, where at | both are usually required, and that its generat use would be found profitable |and advantageous on both sanitary and economic grounds.” A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. “There is a new racket on the road,” said a commercial traveller. “It’s a fe- male drummer. I met her the other day, and she is adandy. Of course she travels for a Chicago house, and she sells goods like a January thaw. She has been out so long now that she is as independent asa hog on ice. She sits in an ordinary railway and charges up sleeping berths im her expenses, just like the rest of us. She walks to the hotels from the stations and charges up the hack fares, just as we do. She beats the landlord down to $1.50 a day and charges the house $2.50 in the regular old style. She can take care of her- self every day in the week, and she knows how to order up a bottle of wine and work it on the expense ac- count, too. Why, when I saw her last she was a new silk dress ahead of the firm, and by New Year’s_ proposed to have a sealskin sacque out of _ her ex- enses. And that isn’t all. She has half of the hotel clerks in the North- west mashed on her, and the way the little rascal knocks ‘em down on her bill is acaution. She hasa_ regular trick of staying over Sunday where one of her admirers runs the house, and she walks off Monday morning forget- ting to pay the bill. What does she sell? That's the funniest thing about it. You would think she would handle jewelry or millinery or dry goods, wouldn't you? But she doesn’t. She sells gents’ furnishing goods, and the young men who usually keep that kind of stores buy of her as if they hadn't seen acommercial traveller for six months. Andshe is a dandy poker player, too. She handles the cards awkwardly, and acts asif she didn't know a_ full hand from two pairs, and raises $2 on deuces, and nearly cries when t'other fellow shows up three of a kind, and then gets excited in a big jack pot, and raises the opener and bets the limit and raises back and scares t'other fellow out, and slides into the deck a little pair of sixes or sevens or a bobtail as innocent as you please. Bluff? Why, she has a bluff on her like the Wisconsin River. She’s a daisy, and I tell you it’s mighty lucky for the boys that there ain't any more like her on the road.’” oo or The Way to Save Men. “Have you lived a good life?” said St. Peter to a trembling female who knocked timidly at the gate of beauty. “I was only good at one thing,” said the spirit before him, with a doleful shake of the head. “And what was that?” inquired St. Peter in a voice of blissful sweetness. “Cooking,” respond- ed the timid one, in woeful tones. “Come right in, then,” said the senti- nel saint, ‘you have saved more men from perditioo than a dozen mission- aries, and I don’t believe you can find anything around here in the shape ot blessedness that you're not entitledjto.” with the state of things existing then and now in the North, and hereafter perhaps to exist here, will be for the studious and thoughtful in coming time to determine. We make historic record of the facts, as in our non-parti- san and non-sectional way we are en- titled to do, but leave comments and deductions to others.—Jndustrial South. = ea Worth Knowing. A writer in the Louisville Post says: Few people know how to dressa_ fowl after killing it. Birds, ducks, and tur- keys are usually dipped in hot water, so their feathers may be more easily re- moved. These feathers con- tain unsavory oil and they penetrate the skin. As soon as the hot water acts upon the oil it is driven through the porous tip of the feather and infused under the skin. For this reason it is very difficult to secure a dressed chick- en or other bird in the market that does not taste feathery after cooking. They are dressed hastily and_ to save time and trouble are soused in hot water. The bird is almost worthless to a delicate palate after that. Every member of the feathery tribe should be picked carefully while cold, carefully cleaned and allowed to remain in salty water for twelve hours. ‘The salt draws the excess of blood from the body. When properly cooked after this process they have the delicious taste which persons enjoy so much at “country dinners” and which they cannot explain. It is simply due to the fact that the country cook is usu- ally more conscientious and better trained. ee ae eens 5 Gs Or Farmers’ Warehouse, Salisbury. [Country Homes. ] Mess. Beall, Bost and Foard are pro- prietors. They deserve much credit for the faithful manner in which they have worked to build up a market in their town, and we are glad to note that they have succeeded well. They have every interest of the farmers of their section at heart and will “not leave a stone unturned” that would be of ad- vantage to all the tobacco growers. Their house is a brick building 50x210 feet with 42 top lights, part of which are solid glass plates 3x6 feet. They have packing and storage rooms con- venient, and stables, and all necessary arrangements for the comfort of the farmer and his team. Mr. John Shep- pard, who has had twenty years’ expe- rience in Danville and inston, is auctioneer at this house, and when the farmer places himself and his tobacco in charge of this veteran tobacconist he will never have occasion to feel that he is in the “hands of the Philistines.” Read their advertisement in this ‘issue. ~~ Parental Honor.

A missionary stationed at one of the South Sea Islands determined to give his residence a coat of whitewash. To obtain this, in the absence of lime, coral was re- duced to powder by burning. The natives watched the process of burning with inter- est, believing that the coral was being coked tor them toeat.

We have had our popular theories of ed- ucation without Christ; bnt nothing now|= seems more certain than that they practi- cally end in corruption and crime. We ex- pend our millions of dollars grudgingly for the continuance and extension of the gos- pel, and our hundreds of millions cheerfully for the repression and punishment of crime, when the expenditure of half the latter sum for the free dissemination of gospel princi- ples among all classes would save the other half. We devote our powers with tremen- dous energy, too often week day and Sun- day alike, with the use of all the free tor- ces of nature to the production and acqui- sition of wealth and the advancement of material civilization, with the inevitable result of over production and _ periodical depression in which much of the fancied gain disappears. Ifone half the energy were expended in the higher line of gospel effort we might have steady increase of sol- id wealth with permanent prosperity, and all this is a word of constantly increasing purity and peace. Living on such princi- ples our souls might grow as rapidly as our fortunes instead of being blighted and dwarfed by covetousness.— President Greg- ory.

Strange to say, these efforts have been encourayved by men who profess to reverence the Bible as an inspired re- cord.

Let us look for afew minutes et the effect of these recommendations, if carried out, and see how fur these certificates are now used as currency.

We—lI mean by we all the people— received a coin dollar for every paper dollar issued. We only pay out the coin on the paper brought baek t agents. All of it that is ! hy flood, or the thousand accidents that all transitory things are subject to, is our gain. We had experience in Opec ots of that sort, and knew that they were rofitable.

None of them Jost any of it. The people who borrowed it or worked for it, after the banks got value receiv- ed for it, were the sufferers: yet the Comptroller wants it all for the banks. T expect they will get it. They have as much right to it as to have their in- terest and principal paid in gold alone or to have our silver stricken down. — I have no idea that $3800,G00,000 of the £316,000,000 of greenbacks charged in the report as outstanding could be re- turned if they were called in today. All Jost is clear profit to the Government. It is a suflicient answer to all the clam- or about expense and vaults that the abrasion, and that our grain from the loss of outstanding, tf 1¢ 4 kept in de- sate the United States for all the ex- penses of its safe keeping. The object we all lad in view by keeping in actual use paper substitute for vold coin to the extent of the coin deposited has heen grossly perverted.

It ms as though every form of curren- ' aa ey which costs nothing n yoody, is condemned. It is assumed that the Government bas no right to ase its own credit or to furnish any part of the currency the people need. Legal tender notes are denounced a forced Joan, as rag- babies, shinplasters, indeed every op- been hurled against them by those who insist that they must be vested with the sole richt to issue currency to loan at a profit to theinselves, and to dictate through their organization how much or how hittle it ix most profitable to them to keep in circulation. But the people and their representatives have so har sustained the greenbacks, and while they have always been repudiated to the extent that they could not be legally pail at the eustom houses for duties on im- ports, and that is the law now, over enriches as 1 Ms epityh Las | | | } | asked or | | | | | | .{ the peo $47.000,.0C0 of them were received for duties last year in New York alone by executive orders in plain violation of law.

Congress by the act of May 81, 1878, va Statutes at Large, volume 20, page ), made an, effort to retain what was 1 A lave ’ | | | | i 1S4 then left of the legal tender notes, an ;to preserve them in such shape that ij they would be currency m the hands of We provided, in substance, lthat whenever legal tender notes are lreceived at the Treasury from any jsource they shall not be retired, but i shall be reissued and paid out again and | | kept in circulation, and that new notes fof the same denomination of those re- , turned because too much mutilated for ‘use shall be issued in their stead. It is ! ghyious that Congress did not intend to! allow any increase of the denomination ‘of the legal tender notes above what | ‘existed when that act was passed, yet the table on page 2U of the Treasurer's report, shows that bills of the denomi- »yle vie. P? 1 | ERGY alec nation of £500 have increased in the| last year nearly $10,000,000, while those of smaller denominations have been proportionally decreased. There can be but one purpose in this attack all along the line on everything except gold and’ national bank notes, and that is to transfer to the holders of our bonds absolute power over the cur- rency, which means over the business of the country. The report of the Comptroller of the Currency develops that purpose, per- haps, more plainly than the others. After insisting that Congress should repeal the tax on ¢irculation, give up the profit made on the lost ,bank notes or put it into a safety fund with other things for the benefit of the banks, he adds, on page 18: Such legislation would have the effect of maintaining bank note circulation, and prevent its being superseded by Govern- ment issues, Which an authority as high as | Alexander Hamilton has said “are ef a na- tuae so Hable to abnse, and it may even be aflirmed so certain of being abused, that the wisdom of the Government will be shown in never trusting itself with the use of so seducing and dangerous an experi- ment.” T assume that it is too clear to admit of debate, no matter what Mr. Hanul- ton or anybody else said, that a cireu- luting note, in any form, properly se- eured, Is as good when issued by the Government as a like nete would be when issued hy a corporation created by the Government and secured by a Government bond: end hardly any- body but the Comptroller or a bank at- torney would venture to assert that the Secretary of the Treasury is not likely to be honest and cureful of the public interest in maintaining and keeping the necessary amount of cir- culation atlont for legitimate business purposes as bank presidents world be, who are under no oblivation to consult the publie welfare, but. as the private interests of their stockholdcrs demand, may contract or expand their issues as | one course or the other best sub- | private ends : mblie weal; indeed to be enriched when they Can Miort surely Op 2 tHe a Yet, in the face of bis claim that all other circulation is unsafe, the Con p- troller shows that the decrease In na- tional } x vank elrealation in the last three years amounts to over $48,600,000, and save that it would have deereased #25, OCO.GCO the Secretary of the ‘Treasury had not come to their rescue by refusing to use the money at his command in the purchase of the 3 per cent. bones on which their cirealation is based: in other words, the people have lost over S2,00G0,0G0 of interest, and the bankers have made £6.060,000 on -- by the operation. The Comptrolicr shows very clearly wiv the bondholders are so anxious to cet clear of the silver dollar; they fear that the premium on their bonds wil fall if they are paid in whole or in part in silver. But he stated the whole case so clearly that T will read, on page 15 of his report: It will be seen that the banks held on Nov. 1, 1884, $155,604,400, and on Nov. 1, 1885, $1538,020,650, of 8 per cents under the act of July 12, 1982, payable at the pleas— ure of the Government. The Sccretare of the Treasury, during the year ending Noy. 1, 1883, paid $105,634,150, and during the year ending Noy. 1, 1s¢4, $105,970,450 of the public debt. Inthe latter yeas 3 per cents only were called. No bonds were called for the year ending Noy. 1, 1855. Reasoning upon the theory that the public del would, during the year ending Novy. 1, continue to be reduced by the payment of 3 per cent. bonds, and that this reduetion would occasion the rein- yestment of trust and other funds invest- ed in threes, and cause a greater demand for and consequent inerease inthe price of + per cent. bonds to a point at which it would be more profitabl> for the national banks to sell them, the Comptroller esti- mated in his last annual report to Con- eress, that unless legislation should be secured ennabling the banks to issue cur- reney at a fair profit, circulation would be reduced at the rate of at least $40,000, OOO per annum, Itisbelieved that this esti- mate woul. have been substantially cor- rect had the Government continued during 1885 to call and pay the 3 per eent. bonds as rapidly as during the two previous years. The reduction of circulation of national banks during the year ending Nov. 1. Ikod. for reasons other than the eall of bonds by which it was secured, was great- er than anticipated. The causes which have Jead to this result are sinall profit remaining to national banks on cireula- tion after paying the tax of 1 per cent. yer Annum posed by the Government ; reduction in the rates of interest through- out the country, occasione d by the aband- ance of money in the financial centers ; and, doubtless, uneasiness among eertain of the bankers of the country as to the of the increase of silver in the Treasury, such increase indicating that possibly the interest on the public debt, and even some portion of the principal, might be paid in standard’ silver dollars, and that Government bonds might there- by become depreciated in foreign mar- kets, which woul undoubtedly affect their price in this country. The credit and standing of this country is deservedly high, and it is not believed that the peo- ple desire cither the principal or interest on the bonded debt of this country to be paid in anvihing but gold coin or its equivalent, . | think the Comptroller makes it clear that the country cannot a ford to rely for its circulation on national bank notes. He asserts that the bank- ers wij] surrender their circulation and sell the bonds upon which it 1s based, regardless altogether of the public needs. whenever they can make more ee et a rare merece] serves tie POOR TCLGSS ais tovether Gi hk Was more if (\4 Aue Nee ve IS&, outcome power over the contraction and expan- sion of the circulating medium which regulates all our transactions exclusive- ly in the hands of men who gamble with it for private gain without any sort of public responsibility ? I think not; yet, if’ we retire the greenbacks and the silver certificates, as our Officials advise us to do, we will have no currency but national bank notes left, which they can expand or contract at pleasure. Nobody pretends that in the reduction of thes notes from $324,000,000 in Noyember, 1882, to £276,000,000 in November, 1885, the public interests or needs Were for a moment considered. 1 desire to state with great. distinct- ness that I am not making war on bond- holders or natiarfl banks or bankers. I voted to renew their,charters, to repeal all taxes on their capital and = de- posits, and with measures necessary to add to their suefulness, either by in- creasing their circulation to par with the bonds deposited, or, if it can kecone with justice to their competitorsin bu- siness, reduce or repeal the tax on their circulation. But I would require them to take the same coins, both gold and silver, that all othercreditors of the Gov- ernment receive. I shall always oppose the grant or recognition of any super- ior rights or privileges in them or inthe obligations they hold over those of oth- er citizens. 1 would divorce them from politics, and deprive them of power to control or influence legislation by con- tracting or expanding or by threatening to interfere with our currency, as was done when they obtained President Hayes’ veto ona memorable occasion. I would require them to obey the law and receive the coin which we take at the custoni-huvse and set apart as a special fund for their security and pay- ment. When we say hy law, as we have done, that “no nations! banking asso- ciation sha!l be a member of any clear- ing-house in which such (silver) cer- titicates shall not be receivable in the ttle s nent of cClearing-house balances.” ] would forfeit the chavter of any bank that dared to disobey the law, as I would fine and imprison any otlicer of any of them who would certify cheeks when the funds were net actually in the bank at the time. . In short, no set of men should be al- lowed to exercise privileges prohibited by law, nor have rights given to them in regard to the character and quality of the coin in which their debts shall be paid which are denied to all other equally meritorions creditors; and no 4 certificates.

Men who owned gold all over the South and West, in Louisville, Indianapolis, Nash- ville, and other places, as well as those cities named in the report, sent their coin at their own expense to the assis- tant treasurer in New York in order to have silver certificates delivered to them for use as currency at home. Yet, during all that time, the bullion value of gold in London was at least 15 per cent. more than silver, and the country was being periodically alarm- ed, and Congress advised by our off- cials that gold was leaving the country, that silver was a degraded standard of value, and that its coinage must be stopped or its weight increased or ruin would speedily be upon us because of its depreciation in the London market.

In 1853 I went to California and remained eighteen months, and in 18731 visited Hot Springs, Ark., remaining three months, but was not cured. Amputation was discussed, but I concluded to make one more effort. I commenced taking the B. B. B. about six weeks ago.

THURSDAY, JAN. 21, 1886. re — Congressman Henderson. Henderson proposes to Yaise a coinmittce on internal revenue. Mr. Hendersen’s resolution was submitted to the North Carolina delegation before its introduction in the House amd was heartily agreed to. Mr. Randali had a talk pa Congressman Reid én the subject and scope of the resolutien and promised his hearty and active co-operation. The purpose ol of the resolution is to call attention to the operation of the internal revenue laws, thedlt abuses and oppressions. The most effectual way to do it is by athoroughcom- mitte investigation. The resolution will be pressed, and the opinion 18 entertained that it will result in) some. practical and remcdial legislation, if not in the abolition of the internal revenue system. This item is from the Greensburo Patriot's Congressman correspondence, and shows how Mr. Hen- derson is working. He isalready apprecia- ted as a worker and his persence is sure to be felt in the national congress just as it was in our State legislative halls. The only practical method of securing the re- peal or modification of the Internal Reve- gue law is by means of some such resolu- Rien as that introduced by Mr. Ifenderson. Te him our people, and in fact the people of this Congressional district, look for re- lief from abuses of this system. It is a pleasure to know that he is faithfully en- gaged at his post of duty, and his constit- vents many rest assured he will leave no stone unturcd when their interests are at stake. | Eo Gum Judge Clark has been waking up the gamblers at the Capital City.

Editor Watchman:—There are two Acts of the last Legislature of North Carolina, which have been, and still are, the sub- The first is, the amen- ded law in regard to the registration of Deeds, &e. . Heretofore, the law required deeds of conveyance to be registered within two years from the date of their execution, but still, persons bought lands, paid their money for it, and took deeds for the same. If it suited their convenience, they had them registered, if not, sometimes many years would elapse, and still they re- mained unregistered. Persons consider- ed their titles good as against all comers and only had their deeds registered, in many instances, as a matter of safety and protection. They considered that they might loose their titles by fire or other accidents. Hence, they had them regis- tered, so that in case they were destroyed or lost, they could still be found on the County Register. Under the amended law, passed Feb. 27th, 1885, if weread it aright, no deed or conveyance will pass title, or be valid, but ‘‘from the registration thereof.” Now, according to this law, a person may pur- chase lands, pay his money, and take a deed for it, and still, it is not worth the paper on which it is written, “but from the registration thereof.’ And, for their services, the Clerk is allowed a fee of 15 cents for each name, and the register, for recording the same, 50 cents for the first three copy sheets, and 5 cents for each additional copy sheet. It further provi- ded that the Secretary of State should advertise the law, that the Register of each county shall post notices at four places in each township, &c., all of which was done, ata heavy expense to the State. The question very naturally arises, Why the necessity of all this trouble and expense, at this particular time? Persons had jogged along in the old fashioned, careless way, ever since the government of North Carolina existed. If they chose to do so, they had their deeds recorded, if not, they did not do so until it suited their convenience, and. still, there was never any question as to. the validity of their titles, The people at large are not, and never can be benefitted by this law. The Clerks and Registers are’ the only persons who can possibly be benefitted by it. Iwas in our Clerk and Register’s oftice a few days prior to the time limited and there was a perfect jam of persons proving their deeds, &c. And judging trom what I saw on that one day, alone, it must have cost this one county nothing short of two hundred dollars, or more. In the State, there are in round numbers, ninety counties, and taking this county asa criterion, and putting it at even the minimum rate of one hundred dollars to the county, then, the entire cost paid to Clerks and Registers, would be nine thousand dollars! besides the expense of advertising, &c, And afterall, what bet- ter off are the holders of deeds. It isa well known fact, that many large land holders in this county, never take or read a newspaper, whilst others cannot read an advertisement. There are doubtless a large number of land owners in every county, Who never read, saw or heard of the law. Consequently, many deeds have not been registered, and in future years, such a crop of litigation and lawsuits as will be the result, never was dreamed of inthe “Old North State” before. Will some one inform the people why this law Was necessary at this particular juncture? The wisest thing the next Legislature can do, is to repeal the law, or at least, Such a law is too coercive, and looks too undemo- THE INFERIOR COURT. There is another matter, that is, the At the session of 1876-7, an act was The reason assigned for the establish- Court to fill the void created by its abol- ishment? I have talked to several of the most intelligent magistrates of the county, and they all say that they were never consulte ; ment, and that they would not have giv- ble for its abolishment, or by whose au- on the subject of its abolish- en their sanction to the same. They say that it wasa cheaper court, that there was still a necessity for it, and that they would be glad to know who is responsi- thority it was done? and in their behalf we press. the question, also the one con- cerning the registration of deeds.

A mass meeting was called at Ruther- ford College, January 16th, at 3 oclock, P.M. Rey. Isaac N. Monn was called to the Chair and Levi Bronson was elected Secretary. The citizens generally partic- ipated in the meeting. ; Methods were discussed for promoting and entertaining the ‘‘Local Preachers’ Conference and Tabernacle Meeting” to be held at the College in August next. On motion of John F. Butt the time of meeting was fixed for Thursday the 19th day of August—the Tabernacle meeting to continue 12 days, and embracing the 4th and 5th Sabbaths in August. Isaac N. Monn, J. F. Butt, and Levi Branson were aypointed a committee to rent or purchase a large Tabernacle for the occasion. On motion in was unanimously resolv- ed that this meeting be formed intoa Tabernacle Association. J. C. Estes, mayor of the town, was elected) President and Dr. R. L. Aber- nethy Vice President of the Association. It was unanimously Resolved, That a Tabernacle and Arbor be erected in the grove, near the College, large enough to accommodate at least six thousand people. The meeting then adjourned until 10 A.M. Monday. On re-assembling it was ordered that the next meeting appoint a committee of four gentlemen and four ‘ladies to solicit tent-holders and transact any other business for the benefit of the Local Conference and Tabernacle Mcet- ing.

The experience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of quinine and other drugs to effectually combat the progress of intermittent, congestive and bilous remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been nv less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frail- est constitution, and derived from purely bo- tanic sources, affords a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general debility and renal in- activtiy, it is also a most cficigut remedy. Ap- petite and sleep are improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors from the blood, and enriches a circulation impoverished by mal-assimilation. > Apporticnment of SCHOOL MONEY TO THE DIEFERENT School Districts of Rowan County, FOR THE YEARS 18S:,-56, At $1.40 per Capita. 5 I i | Nu m b e r To w n s h i p s | Nu m b e r Wh i t e pu p s = Co l d pu p ' s .

The “Cold Saturday” was in 1835 and not 1840, as stated in last week’s paper. Mr. Jno. C. Miller, of Franklin township, called our attention to the error. But the weather of last week was cold enough for most of us. The Rail Road water works at town 'creck are kept running only four hours a day.

Father Rothrock. Rev. 8am’! Rothrock, of Gold Hill, this county, has been in the ministry of the Lutheran Church for more than fifty- three years. His kind and gentle man- ners and his devout Christian life have made for him the name of “Father’’ Rothrock, and well he deserves the pa- rental title. During all these years he has been a resident of this county (except a little more than one year in his earlier ministry), and he has never been without a charge. Another reason for his being known as Father Rothrock may be found in the number of marriages at which he has officiated; he has united parents, their children and their grand children. During his ministry he has united in mar- riage four hundred and fifty-five couples. He isa hale and hearty old gentleman now, and still performs his duties as pas- tor to congregations who delight to honor him. In the earlier times he often preached in the German language, as then about as much German as English was spoken in the country near Salisbury. Father Rothrock still speaks German, and occasionally preaches in that lan- guage. His name is a household word in Rowan, and he is ever a welcome visitor at the fireside of her people. —————~->—____—_ Death of Dr. T. W. Keen. | Dr. Keen died suddenly at his post of duty in tfte Virginia Legislature, on last Saturday. He had just finished a speech and was sitting at his desk, when friends noticed a ghastly look on his face as his head fell back. It was thought that he had fainted, but the truth was soon appa- rent—his spirit had fled. This sad event caused much excitement in the legislative halls, and all business was suspended for the day. The House passed a resolution of regret and appointed a committee of tive from the House and thee from the Senate to accompany the remains to Dan- ville, the home of Dr. Keen, and _ to draft This lady was for nany years a member of the Methodist church, and had lived a She leaves a large devout and useful life. family of children and grand children to | mourn her death, There was a change of schedule on the, Western N.C.

The face plate of the casket was removed and many friends of the deceas- ed looked upon his face for the last time Dr. Keen lived in Salisbury some eight or ten years, and was generally esteemed. He was a progressive, enterprising man, engaged while here in the manufacture of tobacco. He was twice elected mayor of Salisbury, and made an acceptable and His many relatives and friends here mourn his loss. 0 EB 2 4 * S . ‘ cp dars ’ yore ras had a hearing before Justice Bringle and | Considerable damage was done at the There are five warrants against him, two each in|!

Editor Watchman: In your last issue you state that Mr. Bost, of Heilig’s Mill, takes the cake for big hogs. You are mistaken by about 61 pounds. Mr. J. Rowan Davis, of Steele township, still clings to the ‘teake,” having killed a Jer- sey red in November which balanced the beam at 669 net—gross about 750; length 7 feet 9 inches, girth 7 feet 8 inches. Mr. Bost is an uncle of Mr. Davis’ wife, and may have the honor of his son’s display of strength in carrying his heavy hog, but he should have ‘tackled’ Mr. D’s porker if he wanted to display his manhood.

Arrangements are being made to work the property on a large scale. Some of the machinery will be in motion soon. Big Russell Mine. is now yielding from eight to nine thou- sand dollars per month. This ought to make a dividend paying mine, and will if judiciously managed. The Coggins and other properties are active. Mont- gomery is coming to the front. . Bright Mine. The New York owners have leased a portion of this mine to some. parties who are working it ‘and are geiting very favorable reports as tothe value of the ore.”’ The activity of our Montgomery mines is known in New York. The Ophir mine, adjoining, is also being worked with favorable indications. ee eae Useful Minerals. In continuation of the series began in last paper, a few more of the useful min- erals and the localities where they may be found are given below: RUTILE has a hardness of from 6 to 6.5; specific gravity 4 to 4.5 and consists of titanium, six parts, to fourof oxygen. Rutile is tetrogonal in crystallization and has sev- eral uses. It enjoys a limited use in por- celain painting, and occasionally as a gem. Gems cut from perfect specimens havea lustre and color resembling the black diamond, Sagenite acicular crystals of rutile meshed in a matrix of limpid quartz, and the finer specimens are much sought for use as gems and for cabinet specimens. Alexander, Burke, Caldwell and Iredell counties produce the finer specimens. PYROLUSITE is the black oxide of manganese and the crystals are orthorombic. It has a hard- ness of 2 to 5.5; specific gravity of 4 and is composed of about sixty parts of man- ganese to forty of oxygen. It is used in the manufacture of glass to beautify or is discharge undesirable tints from the ma-]. terial, and is also used in the prepara- tion of commercial oxygen for illuminatng purposes. No large deposits of pyrolusite have yet been located in. this State, yet the mineral exists in more or less abun- dance in Cabarrus, Catawba and in sev- eral of the extreme western counties. ZIRCON has a hardness of 7.5; specifie gravity 4 and sometimes more; crystals tetragonal. Zircon is essentially silica and zirconia, thirty-three parts of the former to sixty- seven of the latter. Some of the clearer colors, brown, red, and yellowish tints are used as gems and are known among jew- elers as hyacinth. It is abundant in this State. Burke, Henderson, Polk, Ruther- ford, Caldwell, McDowell, and other coun- ties furnish ample fields for ALLANITE is not a rare mineral in this State. gathering it. It has a hardness of 5.5 to 6; specific gravity 3 to 4;is monoclinic in crystallization. It is similar to epidote in composition but with the addition of many related ele- ments. Prof. Kerr analyzed a specimen which contained (quantities omitted) silicic acid, alumina, ferric oxide, fer- rous oxide, manganous oxide, cerous ox- ide, didymous and lanthanous oxides, yttria, magnesia, lime, soda, potash, and water. It is found in Buncombe, Mitch- el, Iredell, and other counties, CYANITE or Kyanite is triclinic; hardness 5/to 7: specific gravity 3.5 and is composed of one part of silica to two of alumina. It belongs to the mica and_hornblendic schists common inthe western part of the State and may becalled abundant. Is sought as cabinet specimens, and is oc- casionally used as a ring stone. The crystals are white, gray and_ several shades of blue. ee Suggestions and Facts. [ Continued. ] After leaving Fraley’s mountain in the lower S. FE. Corner of the county and go- ing up the river, orin N. W. course across the country, and immediately at the foot of the mountain, Ryals creek is crossed. Adjacent to, and also in the bed of this ereek, at the upper end of M. C. Morgan’s land is a fine placer prospect. In the sumimer-time when the creek is low, by moving the large rock in the bed of the creek, some very handsome nuggets have been panned; there is also, grit on west side oi the creek that has,been worked to some limited extent and which would pay. The trouble here is that there is not fall enough in thecreek, it being near the river, and back water interferes with the washings. It is very plain where this gold comes from, as but little or none is found above this point, and just here is where some of the principal veins from the mountain cross the creek as indi- cated from ,theirycourse and outcrops. This is worth looking into. Continuing aes country to the hill above M.C. Morgan’s house, isa very large outcrop of quartz, which to all ap- pearance indicates the point of cross veins. Free gold is found in panning the surface. West of this point and on Mor- gan’s land are several large quartz veins running parallel, these veins cross the river at, or near the mouth of Ryals creek, and continue their course about {8. 873° W. on throtigh J. W. Millg’s, H. W. Miller's, Amy Miller’s, Conrad Miller’s, and on into Stanly. They carry gold. Some carry galena, and copper is evidently present in depth. The surface here is considerably undu- lating, and with the bold outcrops of the veins ; all that is needed to make this sec- tion alive mining camp, is the pick, shovel and work. The little work that has been done, shows the veins to be large. Assays and pannings show the ere will pay. These locations can be had easily and*cheap. All the steam power needed would be for pumps and _ hoists, the ore could be cheaply tramed to the river, where at Mott’s-Falls, there is 30 feet fallin half a mile, and the river is about 150 yards wide. Dozens of mills could be built on each side of the banks, and thousands of horse powers be had at each mill. In one location a race has been dug, about 100 yards long; this, with a wing dam three feet high anda hundred yards long would run half the river through the race, and more power could be had at a trifling cost than would be required to run a 1000 stamp mill. We often wonder why it is that such eligible locations for milling, such vast amounts of vein matter almost at the mill door, should go begging, while the prospector and capitalist go west. Is it becauseitisnot known? We believe it, and hence shall continue to bring these and other equally valuable prospects to the world’s attention. CRANBERRY MINE. General Imboden, in an interview with the Industrial South, of Richmond, is re- ported as saying in connection with the Cranberry mine: ; “T was there three or four weeks ago, and the superintendent told me their out- put this year would reach 500 tons a day. They could sell 700 tons daily. The ore is so rich in iron and free from phosphorus that it is shipped great distances to be mixed with hematites in the furnace, not ‘only to improve the iron thus made, but to largely increase the product of the turnaces using it, by the mechanical effect it has in keeping open the charge to permit the free passage of the blast and gases through the mass. These ores have been largely sent to Allentown and Harrisburg, Pa. They are used at the Crozer Furnace at Roanoke. They goto Chattanooga and Rockwood, Tenn., and to Cincinnati, Ohio, for distri- bution to the furnaces above that city in Kentucky and Ohio, and in the [Hocking Valley.” ET ESR” Ee South River Ripples. The ice-houses in this vicinity have been filled with better ice than ever be- fore. The store of Messrs. J.C. Foard & Fow- ler at this place is now kept by Mr.G.W. Fowler, Mr. A. M.

The severe weather has caused our hu- mane sportsmen to declare a truce with the partridges. Not so, however, with the larger game. A few days since one of our “erack shots,” in company with one of Salisbury’s veteran turkey hunters, started out to try his breech-loader on something larger than partridges. They had not gone far before they came upon a flock of turkeys scratching away and feeding in the woods. Frightened at the hostile appearance of our two friends, the turkeys promptly offered to get out of their way with as little delay as possible. But—bang! bang!! bang!!! bang!!!! Ten fine ones were brought down and car- ried home by two as proud sportsmen as ever claimed a doubtful bird. It is a pity to spoil a good story by having to add that they turned out to be tame turkeys. January 18, 1886. uo? aa Enochville Items. The holidays passed quietly, with not asingle case of intoxication to report from this quict and Christian village. School opened on the 4th inst., with Prof. Floyd B. Brown, late of Mississippi, in charge. His reputation as a teacher is too well known to need any comment from us. His school has become so large that an assistant teacher was necessary. His estimable lady, Mrs. Brown, has been secured as assistant. Never before has there been such interest manifested in this community for schools and educa- tion. The Academy has been remodeled, doors changed from the side to the end, and the house filled with new desks. J.N.

The Winter of our Discontent and Dies >. A THRENODY IN BLANKVERSE UPON THE BLANK-ED BLIZZARD SENT HERE FROM DAKOTA, ADDRESSED TO THE MAYOR OF FARGO, DAK. - Sir: I protest! Ten days ago I noted a weather dispatch which announced a blizzard as being en route southward and eastward, from Fargo, Dak. I noted it, and noting, I smiled; for I remembered the wild reaches of waste western wilder- ness and the hundreds of miles of sunny climated South land which lay between youand us. Then, too, I suffered my mind to dwell complacently upon an eight ounce, fawn colored overcoat, a re of gum sandals and some undressed ids which I had in store for heavy weather, while, from away down in the smiling depths of my soul, was- wafted this gentle sentiment: Let her bliz. Forty-eight hours later I looked out of the house and got hit on the spine with something which I felt in my soul could be nothing less than the butt end of the boreal pole, while a fine driving snow, which felt like fanned, ground, assorted and bolted icebzrg from the upper regions of the Yukon, powdering and dusting the universal universe. Wind: Wah! I should rather denominate it such. My hat flitted away down the street a block, four unicorns and a scruple ata jump, like a spring steel kangaroo with a wild horde of ravening dingos astern. That wind folded my two ears back inst my short curlless curls, until I adtthe ap- pearance of a mule ready for business, or a jack ass rabbit preparing to git from hither to hence; twisted the second hand off my extension ribbed, stem winding compass, and ripped the tail feathers out of my last dollar’s spread eagle bird until it wouldn’t pass for more than 76 cents and take it in sway backed cord wood. That night the mercury fell down in the basement of the thermometer and lay there like a lonesome buckshot which had been incapacitated by hard treatment and chillblains. However, so far as that ther- mometer is concerned, after the way it frisked and gamboled about in the upper nineties all through the long summer days, I don’t care a chickidee how much poetic justice it catches. I waut to be considered as wording this protest, from exordium to peroration and back again, in, and because of, my own behalf and be- hoof and upon the distinctly egoistic grounds of subsidiary interest. Men of Dakota! What is there in life to attract when one must hold a red-hot sad iron to his stomacher in order to keep his freshly eaten dinner from freezing so tight as to upset the buck saw edge of his digestive apparatus? What are we here for, when a doughnut and a mule shoe, an apple anda brass door knob, and an orange anda grapeshot are all one; when you can’t draw a dividing line between a sticky and a section of bull chain or a slice of bread and a foot adze. Gre-ate Scott! Men of Fargo, have you lost your last bowel of compassion? Swathe me in the arctic circle and give me my hab- itation under aurora, along with the tusked walrus and the flightless dodo, but pardon me if I appear a trifle shy ofa blizzard fresh from Fargo. Gentlemen, when next you are ready to build one of em—of the choice razor steel], diamond edge compensation lump, hump backed variety, and turn the tameless, liegeless creation loose upon our desolate, frizzled, wooden country, if you will sig- nal me slightly in advance, my next will be dated from the tropic of Capricorn— unless shot by telegraph; or Ae I will undertake to execute to you a quit claim fee simple, locus in quo ne exeat regno deed for the entire ensemble, tout and all.

In this place, after a protracted illness, on the morning of 7th inst., HENRY Av- austvus Lemiy, aged 73 years and 9 months. Mr. Lemiy was a native of Salisbury. Educated at Chapel Hill, he was prepar- ing himself for a medical course of instruc- tion, but owing to weak Cag he stopped and went into the mercantile business in Salisbury. He was married in 1886 to Miss Amanda 8S. Conrad, and soon after removed to Stekes, now Forsyth County. In April, 1852 he came to Salem. He wasa devoted husband, kind father aud genial companion. He joined the Moravian Church two years since. His health has been failing for several years, but not seriously, until about six months since, when he commenced de- clining very rapidly. Hecnjoyed the visits of his friends very much during his latter days. Much of his time was spert in pray- er, and in reciting hymns. On New Year’s Eve he was taken worse, and was unable to lie down. Thus he died sitting in his chair conscious to the last moment. His funeral took place on Friday last, from the Moravian church, Dr. Rondthaler reached the sermon. His remains were aid to rest in ‘‘Salem’s God’s Acre” amid a driving snow storm, and in the presence of numerous relatives and friends, “sleep in peace.” REE DEGENERES I EE ES AE SALISBURY MARKET TO-DAY.

[From Health and Home. ] It is rather late in the day to enter a protest against the use o tobacco. Whatever the faculty may say on the point of its injurious qualities, howev- er much the clergy may point out the possibility of its eading to intemper- ance, the fact remains that a large pro- portion of the world uses tobacco in some form or other. The Chinese, according to their accustomed vanity, pretend to have been acquainted for many ages with tobacco. But we must remember that in the earhest written Oriental tales which have come down to us—the Arabian Knight’s Enter- tainments—there is no allusion to the custom of smoking, and there is every reason to believe that all Oriental smo- king was imported from England, and that Sir Walter Raleigh lit the first pipe smoked out of America.

From | Se OTaNe } tant par {f } lit ix derived an important part of the | revenue of : most every European gov- lernment; and, in spite of the tact that we Zraise such immense quantities of tobacco. the Havana leaf, made into cigars, is heavily handicapped with a duty here. The adulteration of tobacco, very common both in this country and abroad, arises from two considerations. The pure, natural leaf, in its yellow hue, is undoubtedly the finest tobacco in the market. But so many accidents conspire to render the finest leaves scarce, that even the natural leaf itself is imitated. Coarse leaves are bleach- ed by the use of chlorine to the bright, yellow color of the natural leaf, and sulphurie acid, properly diluted, is used to make the little “freckles,” which a front like that of a composite bit of marble. ‘ : : A“rue tobacco cigar is fine in grain and free from stems. The wrapper 1s nothing in a cigar; the filling 1s everything. facture of one or another of the in- numerable brands between the golden chafi with which the millionaire fills his meerschaum and ihe laborer his cuddy. Almost the uy chemically pure tobacco is that whic the planter dries for himself, spreads on the cotton sheet in the garret, and sends little Tommy to bring him a bunch of— crumbling it between his tingers to fill his pipe. But this simplicity doesn't please the popular taste. The public would rather be poisoned. The injury done by the use of tobac- co is chiefly from the adulterations it undergoes. ‘The Indians used prre tobacco, and were not short lived. — It is idle to say that a drop of nicotine will kill a cat in a certain time. There- fore, nobody must use tobacco. Prussic acid is extracted from peach kernels. Should we, therefore, eat no peaches? Tobacco is adulterated by chorine, var- ious acids, various drugs, which are thus introduced into the system, and cause, by their action, the train of evils which are falsely attributed to tobacco. More especially do they produce impure blood, filling every vessel with poison. The natural leaf, smoked or chewed in excess, undoubtedly produces nervous- ness, unequal action of the heart, loss of memory, impaired sight, and in many cases aggravates catarrhal com- plaints and bronchial affections, even the consumption. But, in nimty-nine cases out of a hundred, such evils as jaundice, affec- tions of the liver, and all the classes of disorganized liver and bile action are caused by the absorption of these adul- terations into the system. The salfow- ness of complexion of many habitual smokers is not the result of tobacco, but of drugs. To sum up, while we deprecate the undue or excessive use of tobacco, we cannot but recognize its value in sonic cases as a sedative and in others 2s an irritant. It has its place in medicine, and cannot be classed among whet one improperly terms noxious weeds. ‘There are no noxious weeds. Every one has its use, and it should be our aim to find out that use. eee Scnator Vance cn the Silver Question. (Charlotte Democrat.) On the 12th inst., Gov. Vance ad- dressed the Senate on the Silver tion, taking strong ground against the of circulation or lessen the quantity now in circulation. Below we give a brief synopsis of Vance’s speech: “Mr. Vance said the present attempt of the monied men of h preciate silver was one of the grandest conspiracies ever scen.

Col. W. L. Saunders, Secretary of State, has sentthe following circular to the chairman of the various boards of county commissioners, dated Janu- ary 4th: . To give ample time to every delin- uent tax-payer whose land has been sold to the State for the non-payment of his taxes to redeem his property at the least possible cost, I will not issue instructions for the bringing of any suit in the premises, under ne recent act of assembly to enforce the collec- tion of unpaid taxes, until the second Monday in February, 1886, until which time redemptions can be made on the same terms allowed before the first day of this month. I will say further, for the information of all parties concern- ed, that no suit will be brought in the following classes of cases in which] deeds are lodged in this oflice. 1. Where parties have receipts from the sheriff or tax collector for the time covered by the deed in this office. In this case let the party exhibit the re- ceipt to the chairman of the board of county commissioners and give a copy of the same to him, to be forwarded to this office. 2. Where parties have paid the tax- es for the time covered by the deed in this office and have lost the receipts therefor. In this case let affidavit be made by the party and given to the chairman of the board of county com- missioners, to be forwarded to this office. 3. Where the owner of the land at the time covered by the deed in this otiice is dead. In this case let the affi- davit be made by the representative or the present owner of the land of the death of the former owner, and that the- affiant believes the taxes to have heen paid. ‘This affidavit must be giv- en tothe chairman of the board of county commissioners, to be forwarded to this office. In the above cases no instructions will be given for bringing suit, but the ques-| facts will be reported to the legislature for such action as it may deem proper.

The leaves must be as dry as a bone when subjected to this licorice bath, for the least dampness will render (them white with mould in a few hours. This mould is removed (one of the adulterations) by a dip into the diluted muriitic acid,anl in too many cases forms part of the solid cake of a better quahty,. The heat of the mixture causes the pores of the leaf to expand, and the sweet syrup, penetrating every fibre, pa eae it thoroughly. ‘rom the vat the dripping bundles are carried out on the flat roof of the factory and exposed to the sun, for one day’s sunshine is worth more than can be told in the manufacture. After this the leaves are taken into a drying room, where the thermometer during the day is at YOdeg.

The snecess of the efforts against silver would result im the greatest in- dustrial calamities. very valuation of property would shrink. ‘The only ex- ception to that result being gold) and debts which would be increased to the extent to which property would have to shrink. Every public creditor, Vance said, took our silver dollar gladly, ex- cept only the cliss that distinetly and solemnly agreed not to take it, but we were told that silver had gone down. This was not so much true as that gold had gone up. Mr. Vance read from the late finan- cial reports of the Havana markets to show that American silver dollars were at a premium over the silver coins of England and France. In the course of all his equality, he said from Moses to Sunset Cox (laughter) he had never met a case so weak as that made now by the enemies of silver. He had heard many cases argued in school boy clubs and in cross roads debating societies; he had heard pleas made from the tail end of ginger bread carts, and had read end- less platitudes in the Congressional Re- cord, but he had never met or seen worse abuse of logic, or a feebler at- tempt tooutrage the common sense tha the arguments used by our bank- ers, bondholders and gold men general- ly in the discussion of this silver ques- tion. The capacity of avarice, he said, was so repugnant to the moral sense of mankind that it always sought to disguise its ughest. form by assuming the garb of virtue. So, bondholders and bankers told us that they wanted silver coinage stopped, not for their own advantage, oh no, but for the sake of the poor working man, whom they preferred to their own chicfest joy. Mr. Vance ridiculed this pretension and said the war on silver was in the interest, not of those who labor, but of those who speculate in money. In re- pty to the statement that the people would not take the silver dollar and that when issued, it had always come back to the treasury, Vance contended that the law required our officers to pay it out, and if it came back, to pay it out again.

A FARMER. —— — ee a A Kentucky Editor on Flogging in vhe Public Schools. Itake great interest in the public schools; am constitutionally opposed to whipping children, and want this State to abolish it by statute, from = the pub- lic schools. I dont like Solomon; he is deal, and it looks hke | oaght not to say anything to his disparagement, but his views of the “rod” as an educator of yout, and especially those of mascu- ine predilections have made a great deal of trouble in this eountry. pared with Solomon, Brigham Young was a bachelor. Solomon had a thous- and wives. He had a sort of a corn-r on matrimony in ms tuwn. He did not have to pay the County Clerk for license, and being good looking he married just as many as he pleased. He perhaps had a photograph album and kept all his wives numbered so he could tell their names. On state ocea- s10ns 1t was yery eusy perhaps, to get along by calling them Mrs. Solomon, but in the family circle it must have kept the old gentleman rattled to call the great long Jew names of a thois- and womer. Solomon one be S23 journalistic Cyclops The author says: | Lom, } had perhus to be about 1.400 children. Of this number, for a man of his proverbial good luck, about 1,100 would be boys, and in his old days Solomon could carry his own ward for Councilman just by getting | the solid vote of his own family. The paternal instinct is strong, but one pa- ternal instinct divided by 1,400 gets to be fearfully diluted, and I don’t think Solomon was first-class authority on raising boys. I never knew but two boys that were very much whipped at school. One of them suicided under an indictment for murder, and would have gone to the penitentiary. The other one did go to the Legislature. I never was whipped at school. The in- ference is plain, though of course em- barrassing to my natural diffidence. As a school boy my dullness in math- l|ematies was but faintly expressed by the edge of a meat axe. Two men who tried to get that same hieroglyphic art ‘into my cranium, sleep under two mon- | uments in the Lexington cemetery. I walk out there in the late evening | sometimes, and sit with uncovered head by a little grass covered mound. | Not’ long since 1 walked up to the first one of the monuments alluded to | and suid, “Professor, [ am glad to meet iyou under the existing circumstances. | To the second monument I walked, land instinctively pulled off my hat in reverence, for there was a man that I loved so that | named my boy for him. | It would be a cold day in June when [ would name one of my boys for the |tirst one. When my first boy got old enough to go to the city schools here, ‘I sent him to one with a note stating that I did not whip my own children and did not want my boy whipped at pschool. He came back and told me ithat one of the teachers was named Skinner and another Tanner and that they would not take him unless they had the right to whip him. [ told him that he should not go, by a large ma- | jority. He was too young to go to the | State College, but they made an excep- | tion in his case when | told them about ithe city school’s idea about shying jand tanning, and [ don't beheve any | professor in that college will say that any better boy has ever been there.

Looking in this line, we submitted reflections with regard to the patron- age bestowed by many of our citizens, who are not dealers, on northern mer- chants. Our object was to show that an occasional article might be purchas- ed in this way at a lower rate than the home price, yet, in the long ran it does not pay. Occasionally a Northern firm run off some article they happen to be long on or itis getting out of fashion, or by way of advertisement, at reduced rates. Ordering such goods is always haz- ardous. In the first place the cash must always accompany the order, then the goods may be damaged snd—note well this fact—if they happen to be out of the goods ordered, they will send something else. They never re- turn the money so long as they can hold it. The party ordering can never be sure of getting what he desires. Ask any of the many, ladies, who are in the habit of buying in this Way, if this is not the orthodox and frequent return they get from the Northern merchants: “We regret that we are just out of the exact articles you or- der, but inclose these goods, which we trust will answer your purpose.” Again, when postage, or expressage, as cheap and as much more _satisfac- tory to buy at home, where the goods when you can be certain you buy ex- actly what you want. When you buy from a chant there is no ion in the dark. You of the most prominent and enlighten- ed citizens told us a few days ago, while discussing this very subject, the following, as showing the views held by Northern merchants: “I sent an order,” said he, “to a friend in New York—himself a leading mer- chant—to have filled. It was for mat- ting. My friend went toa large deal- erin that line of goods and left the order. When the stuff came it rotten and not at all what I wanted. I wrote to my friends recounting the shortcomings and asking a change, or that I might return the goods and re- ceive my money back. My friend wasin- dignant that [should be so shameful- ly cheated and treated. He went to the dealer and stated the case, telling him I would be perhaps a good and constant customer. The matting man laughed in his face, and told he would do nothing, that he didn’t care for and didn’t expect to. sell a customer but once. Selling off his old goods to dis- tant customers constituted his profits and this. said our townsman, “was all the satisfaction I ever got.” We have no doubt this is the way Northern firms work off old goods. Distant customers are at their mercy ud can't help themselves. All the favor and andvantage are with the Northern men. Every man is entitled to a living in his business and our merchants sell goods as cheap as can be found in the State. When favors are requested of our home merchants they never fail to re- spond. Then, itis the part of our people to help the merchants, who ex- tend the favors. When asubscription is carried ‘round for any charitable purpose, or when help is sought for the public benefit, our merchants, who are all public spirited and generous, are the first ap- pealed to and never in vain. These are plain facts. Our people—especially the ladies-— should ask themselves what they would do were it not for the home mer- chants. Let us all pull together and help each other.—Char.

The statisties of railroad building in 1885 show that while there was less activity in this direction than in any year since 1878, the South added near- ly 1,100 miles of new road to her mileage, or largely niore than one third of the total mileage constructed last year. The aggregate of new tracks laid in 1885, according to the annual report of the Railway Age, in the whole country was 3,113 miles, Mis- souri leading with 282 miles, follow- ed by Kansas with 276, and then by Flonda with 251. The number of lines under construction in 1885, and the track laid during that year in each of the Southern States was: Georgia, Florida and ‘Texas, had very nearly two-thirds of the total track laid in the South last year, or 718 ines.

Al- ready a large number of branch roads and extensions are under construction. In Texas the activity in building new roads_ bids fair to unusually brisk, even for that great State. In North Carolina a number roads, some of them quite important ones, are now being built, and the prospects in that State as well as in South Carolina, are favor- able for a considerable extension of railroad mileage during 1886.—Manu- Jacturer’s Record. ee WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 18, 1886. The proceedings of the week on Capitol | Hill have been varied, interesting, and fraught with results in the lower branch of ‘Congress. The Senate did little else in ‘open session than listen to endless irrele— | vant talk on the silver question, irrelevant, | because no financial measure was formal- ly presented to that body until to-day, Six | Senators made long set speeches in advoca- cy of continued coinage, another crowded in an oration in behalf of National Monuments to Lincoln and Grant, and another expend- ed cloquence on the subject of our Army. In its daily secret sessions the Senate has had before it the President's nominations, | hundreds of which have been confirmed. | No cause of complaint has been found against the nominecs themselves ia regard to their honesty, fitness and efficiency, and the Republican Senators, in lieu of any i such grievance, have been discussing ip caucus the question of disciplining the President on the subject to tenure of office. Unable to express themselves freely on this subject in Executive session without ex- ‘posing their plans to the oppotition, the ‘leaders of the Republican majority quietly conveyed the news to their associates that they must agree to a motion adjourning over trom last Thursday to Monday, in or- der that a caucus might be held on an |important subject. Of course the Demo- crats did not know what was brewing, and 'the proposed motion was carried, In this caucus, the President’s policy was | the subject of debate, and the more pro- /nounced disciplinarians, such as Logan, } Hoar, Conger, and Morrill, advocated reining up the President to compel him to state to the Senate his reasons for removing | one set of officials to make room for others lot his own party. Some of the more fair minded Senators held that it would be yoing too far to ask of the President an explanation of his right to select his own triends to fill the offices for which his party had teught so hard, and that he was only doing what a Republican President would do, if one were in the White House. This kind of argument was very distasteful to the Republican managers, and they pro- ceeded to discipline their obstinate breth- rep in a caustic way that won them over, or at least compelled them to submis=ion. While a variety of opinious were ex press- ed with regard to the propriety of raising a fovmal issue with the Aciministration at present upon this question, a majority were disposed to vay that should the information sought not be forthcoming ultimately, the Republicans in the Senate will take some formal action to secure it, or an avowal from Mr. Cleveland that he will not give his reasons for making remoyala, There are many Republicans in the House of Representatives who would like to see ail ot the Republican office-holders dis- charged indiscriminately, Their reason for this is that their party machinery is being disorganized by the present state of affairs, Many of their party workers received ap- pointments to ottice as rewards for party service, and as long as they retain their places under the present Administration, their hands are tied in a way to make them useless for party work. Among other bills to ab lish the Civil Service law that have been introduced in the House was one by Representative Seney, of Ohio. the Senate while the Republicans lave control of it. They affect) devotion to civil service reform and the so-called spirit of it, and will continue to do soas long as the act can be made useful in’ keeping Demo- No such bill can pass crats out of office and in) bothering the Democratic party. Then »gain there are many shrewd Democrats in both branches of Congress, who would deem it unwise to repeal the Civil Service law and who sce gvod politics in letting it stand as itis, though, of course, the question will be agi- tated like that of silver all through the ses— sion, The House of Representatives was com- mondably industrious in disposing of the Presidential Succession Dill, which has passed without change, just as it came from the Senate. Under its provisions the line of succession is taken trom Congress and lodged inthe Cabinet. Only the President's signature is lacking to make ita law, and then Mr. Bayard and not Mr. Sherman will be Vice President of the United States. A startling visitation of death has just darkened the home of the Secretary of State, and the genial, grécetul, homelike hospitality characteristic ot the Bayard Mansion, will be hidden under the shadows of bereavement for the remainder of the senson. Miss Catherine Bayard the eldest daughter of the Secretary, died suddenly on Saturday afternoon of heart disease. rd In the course of a very pretty letter from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Col. R. B.

It is a cool and unwarranted assump- tion on neta of society that wives are supported by their husbands. The Selene who assume this will seldom eny that wives usually work as many hours a day as their husbands, and fre- quently more. “But then,” they will say, “the wife's labor is unproductive, it has no money value.” Such a position needs no very close analysis to prove its utter absurdity. Let the wife fall sick, and it is imme- diately discovered that her labor has a money value, for it takes money to hire ‘help to take her place in the ReeeHeln To take her place did I say! But who can take her place? The wife’s labor is not unproductive. It is as necessary to cut and sew cloth into garments as it is to produce the mate- rial of which it is made or to weave that material into cloth. It is as ne- cessary that food be cooked as it is that it be provided in readiness for cooking.

Banner- Watchman, Uncle Dick Saulter says: Fifty years ago I had a running ulcer on my leg which refused to heal under any treatment. In 1853 I went to California and remained eighteen months, and in 1873 I visited Hot Springs, Ark., remaining three months, bat was not cured. Amputation was discussed, but I concluded to make one more effort. I commenced taking the B. B. B. about six weeks ago. The Fifty-ycar old sore on my leg is healing rapidly, and yesterday I walked about fifteen miles fishing and hunting without any pain, and before using the B. B. B, I could not walk excecd- ing half a mile. I sleep soundly at night for the first time in many years. To think that six bottles have done me more wood than Hot Springs, cighteen months in Cal- ifornia, besides an immense amount of med- icines and eight or ten first class physicians, will convince any man on earth that itis a wonderful blood medicine.

The purpose of the Act passed by the last Legislature secins to have been noth- ing more than 4 special effort to induce citizens buying lands to register their deeds within the time required by law. It is a fact, overlooked by most people, that there has beena very old law on our Statute books requiring deeds to be registered within two years afier they are made; and that deeds held back from registration after more than two years old, do not constitute a title in law, but only evidence of title. No deed makes a title in law until registerel, and this has been the law ever since the establishment of the State government. The Legislz.- ture has frequently extended the time for registration; and at its last session fixed the limit to Ist Jan. 1556, after which time there will be extra trouble to Chronicle explains in a private letter the oversight, and adds: “I know you will understand that I would do you no in- justice and that the omission was unln- tentional.” This is accepted fully and in the spirit intended. DIFFERENCES. The Chronicle thigks that the extra al- lowance of $25 per month paid Mr. Wil- son while in charge of the North Carolina exhibit at New Orleans was extravagant. Here we draw the line and beg to differ. So far from being extravagant, it was nearer the parsimonious extreme. The representative of the State was obliged to make expenditures, extend courtesies _little things here and there—which could not be charged on am expense ac- count, but which it was entirely neces- sary to spend by virtue of his office, and to the credit of the State. To the knowl- edve of the writer Mr. Wilson was obliged to expend every day, little sums which soon made a large total, and in his opinion, the $25 per month allowed him fell far short of . = yh missing. Mr. Daniels, the editor of ‘the | and Main streets,in what wasthen known as the Torrence property. They lived handsomely, but not extravagantly, ‘and frequently entertained guests. The writer, then a boy, was @ member of the house- hold, and had the pleasure of seeing and knowing much of these gentlemen,.. for whose memory he cherishes ar affection- ate regard. While thusliving, these gentlemen gave a dance party in the large upper room of the house desctibed above. Nearly all the ladies in town attended it, and among the rest, the late Mrs. Steel, grand mother of the Hon. John 8. Henderson. She was then (1833) an old lady, but far from indifferent to the happiness of younger persons around her, and was led out by Mr. Craige that evening, and danced a reel with him—probably the last she ever danced, though she lived until some years later, Dr. Smith represented Texas, while an independeut republic, at the court of St. James, and through all subsequent years occupied a prominent position in the the vi itchr Messrs Editors : A great deal has beén written for and against the course of the Board of County Commissioners in re- gard to the resignation of Col.

Now, the whole matter may be summed up in a nut-shell, to wit,—The Magistrates are the only persons on earth empowered to elect a County Commissioner, and conse- quently, they are thé only persons who bad the right to accept or reject the res- ignation of Col. Sumner ; and the hurried action of the Board, in meeting before the Magistrates met, and their rescinding their former acceptance of the resigna- tion, was simply a farce, not worth the paper on which their Clerk recorded the action. They had no more authority, under the law, to either accept or reject his resignation, than the man in the moon, and the Magistrates (who alone could act in the premises), never having taken any action in the matter, Col. Sumner is as fully and effectually the Commissioner now as he ever was. The only thing that seems strange to us is, that Col.

In other words, Mr. Wilson lost money by being the State’s representative at the World’s Exposition and just here is a proper place to say that he was a most faithful, econom- ical and «tlicient representative. Next, the Chronicle lowered the tone of its investigation by pausing to wither Mr. W. A. Withers in the matter of the de- gree of A. M. Mr. Withers is a young the most skillful manner, leads the read- er on from page to page with interest that increases with every fresh stage of the facinating romance. Such is the flood of excitement that it is impossible to re- sist it, and the novel sweeps on from commencement to conclusion with num- berless incidents of an extremely start- ling nature, abounding in the unexpected and new. The scene is laid in this coun- or Qo (who is a man of more than ordinary in- telligence) should, for a moment, think of tendering his resignation to any persons but the Magistrates themselves. There is, indeed, no absolute necessity for five Commissioners, and if Col. Sum- ner’s health did not permit him to act, he certainly was under no compulsion to do so, or to resign, either.

A case of this sort was in the hands of Messrs. Craige & Clement, recently, and they were put to yast trouble to trace out the title through £0 old deeds all of which had to be registered before they could make the sale proposed and give a legal right or title. It was to obviate such trouble, and the risk of valuable rights, that the Legislature has from time to time sought universal com- pliance with the law on this subject. to induce a a The Chroni:zle Investigation. The State Chronicle has been examin- ing and reviewing the State Department of Agriculture, with the view of showing extravagance in the management. The parties who are responsible to the people are those who compose the State Board of Agriculture, for they have the disbursing of the funds. The officers of the Board can only limited expenditures without the sanction of the Board. This Board is composed of Gov. A. M. Scales; W. G. Upchurch, President of the State Agricultural Society ; K.P. Battle, LL.D., President of the University ; W. R. Wil- liams, Master of the State Grange Pat- rons of Husbandry; and one gentleman from each of the nine Congressional dis- tricts in the State, respectively, as follows : Col. R. W. Wharton, Dr. A. G. Brooks, Dr. Matt. Moore, Col. W. Forney Green, Azariah Graves, John Robin- son, Exq., A. Leazar, Esy., Burwell Bian- ton, Esq , Dr. C. D. Smith. They are the power behind the throne, and if extrava- gance is permitted in the Department, they know it and must answer the chayg- es nade. How well the Chronicle has succeeded in “showing up” the Department, the WATCHMAN dves not undertake to say. It believes, however, in the integrity of each member of the Board and of each officer in charze, and does not believe that they woul l willfully waste one cent of the State’s money, or that make Esq., they would countenance extrayvazance in any form In order to be in fashion, however, and abreast with the times, tac WATCHMAN favors lopping off one of the negro ser- vants, just for the sake of economy. If North Carolina had about 1,500,000 of intelligent, hard working, better class immigrants ; aninflax of capitalists, seek- ing profitable inve forests, Walco? powers, dad mines, and an abundance of economy, it would soon rival any spot on this glorious green globe! THAT OMISSION. The Chronicle publishes a list of those employed by the Department at New Orleans last year, in making an exhibit of the State’s resources in position. The Vews and Observer calls at- tention to the fact that the writer’s name was omitted, and at the same time takes occasion to compliment the ‘‘omitted”’ very highly, which is acknowledged with abow. It also says, “its friend and neighbor, the State Chronicle, is over modest in omitting him frem the list of honored names, simply because he has & TY » - IS ’ 1 been ‘its own correspondent,’ and perhaps |Win, B. Meares, and we think the Gov-! amember of the Chronicle Publishing | Company,” &c. The letters written from New Orleans to the Chronicle were unsolicited, and the writer has no interest in the company re- ferred to. The Chroni-ly claims that the omission was an oversight. Takine into consider- ation that the ‘omitted’ was in New Orleans longer than any one else connect- ed with the exhibit, except Mr. P. M. Wilson, the Commissioner in charge: ao ’ that he was Acting Commissioner in Mr, Wilson’s absence ; that he had charge of the largest division of the exhibit, and that he weighs a shade above 200 pounds, the oversight is a little remarkable. A man in the least disposed to quibble about such things, might insist that it was an unpardonable oversizht; but when one reviews the casual notice given Charles Armstrong and Dr. Blum (who lalored zealously for the cause of the State, and did well the work assigned them), he is not disposed to fuss because he was Icft out. No indeed! When a man enjoys the con- sciousness of having done the duty as- signed to him to the very best of his abil- ity, and when he has received the just compeasation earned by such perform- ance of duty, there is no after obkgation. If censured he may regret that his abil- ity was not greater; if praised he is grate- ful fur the appreciation. These reilections consoled the writer when he scanned the Chronicle's list and fend that his nama, like he Datchinan’s pis, tad come stincut in her lands, | the World's Ex- ty Dy man, and gained his degree by dilligent application to his books, outside of work hours, and is naturally proud of his ac- quired degree. It is a commendable pride, and the Chronicle had an oppor- tunity to make a correction gracefully, which it failed to do. It gives the inves- tigation the appearance of being insti- gated by a motive sinister, or to gain notoriety, rather than a purely disinter- ested desire to have the people’s money wisely and economic&lly expended. Since the above was written, the News and Observer publishes the report of the examining committee as follows: At this meeting of the board the examina- tion was made by William G. Upchurch, Esq., of Raleigh, as chairman, Mr. John Robinson, of Wadesboro, and Mr. A. Leazer, of Statesville ; these composing the finance committce of the board. These gentlemen, one and all, are bu- siness men of the first capacity ; are men of standing in their resepctive communities, are men of judgment and of sense. * * * * * They say in substance that both Dr. Dabney and Mr. P. M. Wilson, who suceeeded Dr. Dab- ney in the management of the Staté’s display at New Orleans, conducted their business with judgment aml care; that there was no extrava- gance connected with the matter calling for animadversions ; that the public moneys were properly expended with some small exceptions amounting in the aggregate to five dollars. We presume that these improper payments have been charged back to the parties who made thein. * ¥ * * Mossers Leazar, Robinson and Upehurch say the extravagance amounted to less than five dollars: that the officers of a department should be sent to coventry for five dollars worth of extravagance only shows that the people were anxious to ‘off with their heads’ and only waited for a possible pretext. * = naccurate. The /ferald, in its review of the “Streets of Salisbury,’ has fallen into several errors in respect to the history of the names given them. Fulton Street, for instance, Was not named in honor of “the great Steamboat inventor, Robert Fulton,’ but by the writerin honor of the late Captain John Fulton, who more than 60 years ago lived in the house now owned and occupied by Mr. A. J. Mock. The Masonic Lodge in this place was also }nained in honor of him. He was a highly respected citizen, and left, at his death, | (which occurred about the year 1826,) a | family greatly beloved on account of | their amiableness. The Mock house was }used by him asa hotel, and at’ that time Salisbury was a summer health resort for | people living in the more swampy re- igions of this State and South Carolina. | Fulton’s hotel was popular. The property | then embraced the whole square. There | was a cotton gin house on the spot now }occupied by the residence of Mr. Wm. Overman, and a large, well-appointed” jstable for race horses, on the spot now | occupied by Mr. J. Alien Brown. | One other inaccuracy is in respect to | Ellis Street. It was uamed in honor of | the late Governor Ellis, , we think, (who jbuilt there not far from 1850,) but | not because he was born there. The Governor was a native of Davidson coun- |ty. Ifis father owned the valuable pro- /perty now owned and occupied by Dr. ernor was born there. The writer’s first knowledge of Governor Ellis was when jhe wasa youth of some 15 or 16 years, going to school. | ——— ~~ ---- —— | Col.

(From Our Resular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, Jan. 52, 1886. Skirmishing between the President and the Republican Senators; lively debates In the lower branch of congress; notable speeches in the Senate; a Convention in be- half of the Mississipi river, and ancther by the National Board of Trade are features o! the week at the Capital. . The controversy between the President aud the majority in the Senate has reached an interesting point, and there Is prospect of a political debate in that end of the Cap- itol this week. The Republicans of the Senate determined lon sinceto make as much trouble for the President and his party as they could. They will take every advantage within their reach to perplex and annoy the Administration. They assume this course to be a political duty, and their leaders, Edmunds, Loar, Morrill, Sherman and others are thoroughly trained in all the artsof obstruction and legislative chicanery. They were drilling for this onslaught on the persons and policy composing the Admin- istration at the time they were making pro- tessions of good will towards the President and his Administration. Senator: Edmunds proposes to begin te tight by offering his resolution calling upon the President to furnish information regard- ing the cases of removal of federal officials and his reasons tor the same. The Demo- cratic Senators are united and Larmonious and will support Mr. Cleveland. They are getting re«ly for the discussion by holding caucises and the Republicans are doing likewise. There is no better partisan in the Senate than chieftain Edmunds, of Vermont. He is the arch enemy of the Democratic party, and he shaped this litthe while protessing great admiration for the President’s good intentions and an anxious desire for his success. He took painstocallat the White House at the time of Vice President Hen- dricks’ death and affected good will towards Mr. Cleveland by urging bim not to attend the funeral at Indianapolis. Mr. Edmunds believes more in strategy than in violence, and he has laid his plan tor entrapping the President very arttul!y. Ie would like above all things to convict Mr. Cleveland of inconsistency as a Civil Service Reformer and to trip the Administration, President Cleveland’s future course in the matter cannot be outlined. He has express- ed his willingness to furnish the Senate with all the papers on file in the Department bearing upon his appointments, and such But whether or not he will agree to Mr. Edinunds’ pro- posed demand remains to be seen, Ile may be relied upon for knowing his rights under the Constitution, and also the application ofthe Civil Tenure law bo his appointments. He isnot apt to be discourteous to the Repnblican majority in the Senate but he isaptto maintain the authority of the Executiye. The Senate may resent any refusal to furnish reasons for suspension or or lay them over infinitely. The Senate has again been debating the old Electorial Count problem. Senator Sherman went at Jenzth into the issues in- volved, opposing all other plans and offeriog one of his own, to the effect that if the two Houses disagree, they shall meet in joint convention and elect a President. Other Presidential candidates besides the wily Sen- ator from Ohio, discussed how the next vote of the Electorial College shd@ld be counted. These were Evarts, Mr. Haves’ Secretary of | State, and Edmunds and Hoar, either of | whom is reckoned as an eligible New Eng- land canidate if the other one can be gotten out ofthe way. Four other Presidential aspirants sat in a group, silent but alert listeners tuming occasionally to a neighbor and whispering with the emphasis of a clenched dst. These were Hawley, Harri- son, Allison, and Cuilom, The subject evidently had a personal intcrest for each, }although Logan has said recently that no /man can go from the Senate to the White House nowadays. The House has been discussing Pensions amony other things. Nearly all the old pension projects of the Forty Eight Con- ' gress have been introduced in this, while | there ave some new ones which outdo in extravagance anything hitherto proposed. There was a warm dobate on the bill in- cseasing widows’ pensions from $8 to $12. Representative Reagan, of Texas opposed jit. Said he: [do not-expect to defeat the bill, nor any Pension bill broucht up here, no matter how great an cutrage it may be upon common sense and common right. But in the name of my constituents and the tax payers of this country, I protest against the indiscriminat giving of pensions to all men and all women who ask for them. The purpose of those who bring forward these bills is not to benetit the men or women in question. Thcir motive is to buy the sol- dier’s vote, and to make the tax-payers of the country pay for their political suprem- acy. | At Washington. Mrs. Smith, of Montgomery county, was in | Washington, a few days ago, in the interest of jher Yadkin navigation scheme, which is to make the river navigable from the mouth of the Uwharie to the sea—thought not to be a very costly undertaking. Ske obtained a new post | route while at the Capital, and let our Senators , and Representatives known that she had liberal ‘views in respect to her part of the State worthy “of their attention. She is a woman of spirit, and not apt to give up an enterprise if there is t eavtyie tat removal, but it tan only reject nu.winations, | ? | (Bloucher) and myself. serving fifteen months, he received an appointment at Washington. He did not resign, but one of the two remaining members of the Court served as Chairman, pro tem., until the end of the year, and the Court moved on as smoothly with its two members as it had previously done with three, and there was no good reason why the Commissioners could not have done the same, as any member of their body is, or ought to be, capable of acting as Chairman. If they had pursued this course, it would have saved a good deal of vexation and disappointment. In most cases, Populus, viult decipi may be a true maxim, but, in such a matter as the whole body of the Magistrates being called out, in that inclement season ofthe year, to assist the Commissioners in en- acting a farce, and then to be sent home without the privilege of taking their part in it,is one of the cases wherein the “neople do not wish to be deceived ;” and it all might have been avoided if the Commissioners had consulted the law before they ordered the Magistrates out. Next time, when they callon the Mag- istrates, it may turn out, as in the case of the cry of, “O, the wolf! the wolf!! the wolf!!!” Jan. 25th, 1880. OLD SLEDGE. ee ee EXGLAND. A Dissolution of the British Cabinct Imminent. Lonpon, Jan. 26.—Sir Michacl Hicks Beach, the Conservative leader, gave no- tice to the House of Commons this after- noon that the government would intro- duce on $Thursday a bill to suppress the Irish National League and other danger- ous societies; to prevent intimidation, to protect life and property and to maintain public order in Ireland. This announce- ment was greeted with loud cheers. Sir Michael sail he would ask the House to give the bill precedence. He added that this measure would be followed by a bill dealing with the Irish land question on the line of polisy indicated by the land purchase act of the Jast session. An ur- gent appeal has been issued by the Tories to the Conservative members of Parlia- ment tobe present and participate in divisions to tuke place to night, as a de- feat will involve the resignation of the Cabinet. THE GOVERNMENT DEFEATED. In the House of Commons tonight Par- nell moved that debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne have precedence over a bill to suppress the National League of which Sir Michael Hicks Beach give notice. This motion was strongly opposed by Sir Michael. Parnell later withdrew his motion. ‘The notice given by the Conservative leader of the Government’s intention to intro- duce a bill to suppress the National | League was ereeted by the Parnellites jwith cries of “cowards,” ‘shame,’ and }with ironical laughter. The uprear con- tinued for soime minutes. Mr. Collins moved his amendment to his address. Gladstone strougly supported Collins amendment and the Marquis of Harting- ton opposed it. Sir Michael Hicks Beach said that the government would willingly accept the discretion of the House as they had as- sumed office with reluctance and would resign without regret. The amendment was adopted by a vote of 329 to 250 and the government was defeated. Loxpoy, Jan. 27—The meeting of the cabinet to-day lasted an hour. The situation was fully discussed and it was resolved that the Ministers should at once resign. The Marquis of Salis- bury sent a special messenger to Osborne to in- form the Queen of the decision of the Cabinet. — >< ---- -—— Shrouded in Snow. HOW TWO YOUNG LADIES FROZE TO DEATH | IN KANSAS. CriiuicoTuk, Mo., Jan. 25.—A letter has been received from T. O, Kirk, now of! Clark county, Kansas, by his parents in Sampson township, in this county, giving particulars of the manner in which the Misses Bloucher, late of this county, met their death inthe recent great storm in that section. The letter is dated Apple- ton, Kansas, January 8th, and reads as fol- lows: “Some of us are still surviving the late | blizzard and some are dead, Mahala and Eliza Bloucher both froze to death, and their mother lay by their side but is still alive. The storm was so angry looking that they got scared and undertook tu go to their brother’s and froze at his door. They started from home at 5 o’lock p.m.,and made it all right as far as the fence around their brother's yard. The old lady gave out about half way on the road and the virls had to carry her, and they soon gave out. They were awful warm when they reached the wire fence, under which they crawled to save distance. Their wraps caught in the barbs and it pulled off all their head wrappings. The cold then chilled their brain and they never gained their feet again. It was not yet dark, but owing to the weather, their brother had not ventured out of doors, consequently could not hear them calling for help. Muhala crawled nearly to the house and perished in the snow. Eliza remained with her mother and froze by her side. The old lady lived through the night, and when her sop opencd the door at sun up he heard try, but that does not prevent theintroduc- tion of acastle, anda haunted one at that. The murder of Sir Guy L’Etrange, the heir exiled from home with a grave suspicion resting upon him, the misdeeds of Gustavus Duval, the ferreting out of the assassin, the returned Wanderer’s in- fatuation for Genevieve L Rue, and the perils that stud the path of this mad love, all are important factors in one of the most powerful and vivid romances ever written. ‘The Master of L’Eirange” is certain to make its mark, and that everybody will read it is a foregone con- clusion.

The recent fires in and around Salis- bury have put the people to talking means for defense against the fury of the flames. The loss of the freight depot and woolen mills might both have been prevented, had there been water near and some one willing to apply it. The Hook and Ladder Company are not organized for that purpose. They tear down fences, sheds, burning walls, &c., &c., but are totally unprepared to handle water. Some people pitch into them, others into the board of commissioners for not providing something for the protection of the town, andso on. Now are the people of this town ready to back the commissioners in In one room of the Court-house, scat- ‘| tered around in heaps may be found old records of the courts, marriage bonds, etc., many of them valued for reference. The County Commissioners should provide for their preservation in a form that would make them more accessible when it is necessary to refer to them, as is often the case, The force employed at the railroad eee at Richmond, and at Company © Shops has been reduced, and it was re- simple inexpensive device, and has been doing effectual work at the Herring mine in Randolph county. Mining men must, in justice to their best interests, investi- gate this machine. a SO oO THE ALTAN MINE, in Union county, is in operation, and is the only active mine in that county just now. A small stamp mill has been erect- ed and will soon be runn#ig. The ore assays well, and the prospects for success are very favorable. Twe other mines in Union will probably be opened this Spring. FISHER HILL mine, in Guilford county, is developing favorably. They have a very good body of ore in the 70-foot level. The ore is sulphurets with some brown ore that looks splendid, and altogether the pros- pects are flattering. The ore is too good for milling. : Ss REED MINE, in Cabarrus, is developing a rich quartz vein in the 60-foot level, which is free milling. If the body continues it will revive the old glory of this famous mine. RUDISIL MINE, Operations at the Rudisil mine, in Mecklenburg county, are in both the old and the new shafts.

A gentleman who happened to be in the WATCHMAN office a few days since suygested a stand ype, such as used in Charlotie, Charteston, and other cities. A stand pipe of tenor fifteen feet diameter and say 75 feet high, placed on the centre of the public square, would supply all the water needed, and furnish it in the most available shape by means of distribution through lines of pipe. There would be no need of an engine, for the water would have sufficient head is seriously with it. | It will be a pleasure to the friends and readers of this paper to know that its list is growing every weck.

By the way, today, Jan. 28th, marks ‘one of the epochs in the history of the WATCHMAN. Briefly it is as follows: 1832 to 1839 Hamilton C.

Death of Mrs. Mary F. Trantham. The sad news of the death of Mrs. Trantham spread over the town on last Friday evening. She died at her mother’s home about two oclock on that day. She was the only daughter of the lately la- mented Archibald) Henderson, and sister of Hon. John 8. Henderson, M. C. from this district. She was married to Dr. H{. T. Trantham only a few years ago, but soon became an invalid from the lingering effects of sickness contracted during the winter prior to that time. And though an invalid her bright, genial nature often enabled her to rise above the ills of the flesh and enjoy the beauties of nature and the loving friends who so kindly and constantly lingered by her. She was ex- ceptionally brilliant and vivacious in conversation, and was a general favorite in social circles here and elsewhere. The funeral took place from St. Luke’s Episcopal church on last Sunday, and not withstanding the exceeding inclemen- ency of the weather, a large congregation of citizens of all denominations turned out to pay their last respects to the mem- ory of one whose pure young life had been called home to the Master long be- fore they had dreamed of parting with ber. Dr. Trantham has the sympathy of the entire community in his .sad and overwhelning bereavement. Ee Fire at Dunn’s Mountain. On last Sunday night at about 10 o’clock, Mr. J. D. Stewart, who had retired, dis- covered that the house was on fire. He jumped from bed and exerted himself in trying to s@ve furniture, but the fire had got the start on him. With the assistance ofa negro man who lives on the place the piano was saved, after which the intense heat prevented the saving of other furniture. A few light articles of inconsiderable value were saved. Mr. Stevart's papers, clothing, and watch were lost. This was a new residence and belonged to Mrs. Stewart (now in Cali- fornia), who carried a fair insurance, The luss is about $2,700. Mrs. Stewart had two trunks in the freight depot which were lost in the fire of last Saturday morning. This is mis- fortune coming doubly with a vengeance. —_—___—__—_-.- Mrs. J. M.

[ Continued. ] Leaving the Fraley mountain and Ry- al’s ereek belt, as noticed heretofore, but little vein matter is met with in the course across the county, until at or near the 18-mile post on the Stokes Ferry road and on Vance Miller’s place. Here abold vein of quartz crosses the road, which carries free gold. At the foot of the hill that is washed by the Hartman branch, which also crosses the road be- tween the mile post and Luther’s church, some work was done years ago, and a few small but handsome nuggets were found. This point is worthy of attention. From this on up the country we havea plateau, which is the divide of the waters of Ry- al’s and Flat creeks. “Nearer the river we come to Dillo mountain, about 300 feet above the level of the river, and the synclinal valley of Flat creek.

We need more pasturage for cattle, sheep and hogs—more land devoted ex- clusively to grass and fruit growing for consumption by stock. We must keep our stock on our Own premises, and set apart large portions of the farm for them to range over. This can be done in most instances without inter- fering with the tillage land. We need cool dairy houses and nice cellars and springs of cool water, all utilized in the making of first class butter. A thoroughly equip ed dairy does not exist inthe South, where general farming and planting is the rule. We need good butter and sweet rich milk in our daily repast. To have butter that is better than soap grease we need dairy houses and all the necessary appliances for suitable and cleanly eninge of milk and of but- ter. We need graperies on almost every farm, and, near towns, in every garden grapes for dessert, grapes for lunch, | grapes for jams and _ Jellies, grapes for ‘tarts, dried grapes, pickled grapes, pre- served grapes, brandied grapes and grapes for wine, for the cup that ex- hilerates and does not beastialize. Con- cords, Catawba, Isabellas, &e., and that incomparable gem of southland the Scuppernong. Yes we need graperies; we need vines in every nook and corn- er of the farm. Not mere ue pruned to death after the style of oth- er sections, but vines left to grow and spread of their own free will, with plenty of spreading room and a good support allowed them. We need more rich bottom land for corn and timothy; marsh and alluvial land for grazing; orchards and _ pas- turage grasses put on the hillsides; a better division and a more general separation of stock one kind from an- other more sowed crops and less till- age. and we need cattle and stock sheds. comfortable, clean and dry, that shall be cool in summer, warm In win- ter, and always healthful. We need, especially need, more orig- inality and less copying in our modes of farming. Our sectional features of climate soils and plants are distinct, und we need different methods of do- ing things. In a word our agriculture is peculiar and our plans and opera- tions should be peculiar too. No ecopy- ist, but discoverers we must be. sees Biggie A Preference on the Gallows. Washington Letter in Chicago News. A fanny anecdote connected with the Hon. Joe Blackburn's first race for Congress was told me the other day. Joe happened to be pushing through Owenton, the county seat of Owen of a noted crimmal. Asa hanging 1s rather an exceptional episode in the State of Kentucky, the honorable Joe concluded he would stop over a few hours and witness the event. The gallows was erected in the public square so that no citizen, however humble, should lose the opportunity of witness- ing the unusual spectacle. It was, in fact, a gala day such as the history of Owenton has seldom recorded. The |sheriff, with true Kentucky hospitality, | invited Blackburn, as one of the dis- tinguished guests present, to occupy a seat on the gallows. Blackborn did so. After the preliminaries had been ar- ranged the sheriff consulted his watch and discovered that it was not quite 12 oclock, the hour fixed for the execution. Turning to the prisoner, he said: “You have ten minutes yet to live. Is there anything you desire to say in | the meantime?” The prisoner sullenly replied there was not. At this instant Blackburn sprang ‘from his seat, and, advancing to the edge of the scaffold, said: “If the gentleman will allow me his remaining ten minutes [ will be glad to announce myself a candidate for your suffrages. 1f elected to Congress——” At this point the prisoner interjected: “Say, you! Is your name Joe Black- | burn?” “Yes, sir,” responded Blackburn po- litely. : Turning to the sheriff, the prisoner said: “We won't stand on a few min- utes, more or less, when the alternative is presented of death on one hand or long-winded speeches on the other. Flip the trap angl let me go!” ‘he good natured sheriff obligingly | flipped the trap,” and the next instant ithe desperado swung into eternity, ) While Blackburn clambered down the gallows, exclaiming, as he went, that | he had lost the greatest opportunity of his lite. . | [oe ———- >> —__—_—_ | The Northwestern Miller makes the ‘suggestion that “evry Statein the | Union isr.ch enough to support di- rectly and wholly its convicts. Every State needs better row!s,and should |keep them in repair after they are pmade. Every convict in the land, who is made to labor, should put in his time on the public highway, and the sooner this policy is adopted, the better it will be, not only for individual States, but for the whole country. he prac- i tice of private employment of convict [labor must go.” Better roads are certainly badly needed, especially in the South. One of the most serious drawbacks to coun- try life in the South is the terrible con- dition of the roads during the winter. ‘In some sections good roads are more needed than new railroads. The em- | ployment of convicts in making good | Toads, while not yielding a direct rey- enue for their support as when hired lout, would in the end doubtless be of greater profit to the State, as good jroads would be of almost incalculable benefit. They would benefit every in- | terest, increase the value of land, at- |tract immigration, and largely add to 'the profits of the farmers.

About Railroads. Engine drivers and fireman; Engine drivers. to quote the words of a famous engineer, are not made; they must be born. All the training in the world will not make an incapable man a good driver. What is known as a “heavy haod is an incurable failing, while lack of judgment—the most important of all qualities required—is irremediable. Engine-driving 1s a passion which many men who were destined never to handle the regulator have felt. To stand on the footplate with the knowledge of the vast power that is at ones com- mand, and to know how to use that knowledge; to understand the strong and weak points in one’s engine, and be able to work on them to the best ad- vantage; to obtain a maximum of speed at the smallest possible outlay of coal; “to nurse” the vast machine so as to get the best results; in short all those qual- ities, which are only to be got by ex- perience, study, and constant observation are the attributes of the man who has reached the top of the tree, and is entrusted with the conduct of the ex- press and mail trains on our principal railway systems. The future engine driver begins as a lad, when he is taught cleaning. A number of these cleaning boys are attached to every engine depot, where they await the arrival ot the spent leviathans after they have run their journey. The boys empty the fire box, displace the bars, clean and scour every part of the machinery, polish the brass externals, and thoroughly destroy every trace of dirt and dust on the engine. This work soon gives the cleaners a fair idea of engine construction: and’ if they show themselves intelligent and fit, they may after atime, be promoted to the post of firemen. Not on a fast train, nor, indeed, a passenger train at all, but on a “slow goods’—one of those trains which gets shunted at ever siding to allow the faster trains to pass by. Here the novice learns firing and how to keep a good head of stean, in both of which processes there is con- siderable room for the display of intelli- gence. ‘The method employed in keeping up the fire has a deal to do with the efh- cient working of the engine, and be the driver ever so. skilful and ever so thoroughly master of his loconiotive, it will be imposible for him not only to earn his coal premium, but even to maintain speed and keep time, if his tiring is done ina slovenly manner. ‘The work of a fireman is pretty con- stant while on duty. He has to keep the coals on his tender damped from the hose, to put on fresh coals at fre- quent intervals, to keep an eye on the steam gauge, to follow the driver's in- forcers, to attend to the taking up of water, to keep the footplate clean and tidy, and lastly, to keep an eye on his side of the tram on the rear. If he shows himself capable, promotion fol- lows with rapidity. From aslow goods he is passed on to an express goods and thence possibly toa shunting engine playing about a by-station or junction. Hence he goes to serve on a slow pass- enger train, next on a fast, and lastly ona mail train. From this point his further promotion is less certain, and dependent rather on chance than ordin- ary merit, vacancies among drivers be- ing rarer than among firemen, and, as a matter of course, more carefully be- stowed. Asa driver, the novice com- ses through the same stages as when a mences ona slow goods trun, and pas-/ ee x A man in South Bend, Ind., goes duck shooting in an old craft which he ealls an “invisible boat.” He has cut one-third of an entire boat’s length down to the water line. The remainder is made water-tight, and in the stern a mirror (twenty-eight inches high and forty-eight long) is placed so. that the lass reflects the water in front andthe ecoys. Behind the mirror the hunter sits and paddles his boat toward the ducks, making his observations through a small spot in the mirror, from which the amalgam has been removed. As the boat moves up to the ducks they can see their own reflections in the mirror, and in some instances swim toward the boat. When the hunter is near enough to shoot he drops the mirror forward by loosing a string, and gets too effective shots—one at the ducks in the water and one as they rise. + Landlord System in America. The North American Review has a paper by Thomas H, Gill that is worthy of the consideration of members of Congress and of the people generally. Mr. Gill is an Englishman or Irishman, and is @ member of the British Parliament. His services were secured to visit the Northwest—Ili- nois, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota —and study the landlord system in that great section. The paper published is the result of Mr. Gill's observations, and it will be a surprise to intellizent people generally. It is known to newspaper readers that the Republicans ia the Congress have been extremely lavish during the last quarter of a century in donating the public lands to railroads, It is also Known that the public lands have been *fgobbled up” by certain persons toa large extent, but it isnot known how far this has been carried and the ela- borate report of Mr. Gill’s investigations will throw light whereitis needed. It will be a great surprise when it is known that already in this country with its vast terri- tory the landlord system kas been so devel oped as to surpass anything yet atained in Grert Britain. In other words, there are this day more men farming as tenants of landlords than there are in England, Scot- land, Wales and Ireland. It is the Old World system engrafted upon the New. Some of these land!ords own ten, twenty, forty thousand acres.— Wilmington Star. Feces renee No Right to Boast. The Washington correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle tells a good storv in illustration of the fact that some people who boast unduly of _ their ex- ceptional virtue may conceal an imp somewhere worse than the devils they condemn. Here is the story: In North Carolina, not long ago, a dapper, mid- dled-aged Northern man rose in a crowd and exultingly said: ‘“Gentle- men, I never smoked a cigar, never chewed tobacco, never drank a drop of Ayuor and never wore a beard in my lite. I married the first woman I courted and aman example of what temperance can do.” A gigantic North Carolinian,a grand specimen of his race, rose, and, con- tronting the stranger, said: ‘I smoke and chew tobacco, take a drink when I feel like it and courted sixteen women before [ married one.

Storrs Chicago Herald. “There goes a young min who won't live long,’ said a Madison street. bar- keeper, as a bright, stalwart chap walked away from the counter. “What is the matter with him?” “Oh, noth- ing, but that he’s drinking benedictine. A man is always a goner if he starts on that. It is a glonous drink, you know, and goes to the head and makes a man feel hke a little angel on earth and all that, but it kills him all the same. It fascinates him and makes him its slave, fou see. He cant stop, and he keeps on drinking more and more, and pretty soon he goes all to pieces. Nobody but brain workers hanker after it, and it is sure death to them. Did you know | that it was benedictine that killed Em- ory Storrs? Well, it was. A yearago last spring Emory had braced up and quit drinking altogether, and stuck to it like a man, and was working like a good fellow, when he fell ill and his doctor prescribed benedictine as a cor- dial and tonic. That settled it. The seductive stuff took hold of Storr’s brain and made him its slave, just as the doctor might have known he would.

Much care should be exercised in saving all wood ashes, as they are among the best fertilizers for the farm and garden.

The experience of many years has but too clearly demonstrated the inefficiency of quinime and other drugs to effectually combat the progress of intermittent, congestive and bilous remittent fevers, while on the other hand, it has been no less clearly shown that the use of the Bitters, a medicine congenial to the frail- est constitution, and derived from purely bo- tanic sources, affords a reliable safeguard against malarial disease, and arrest it when developed. For disorder of the stomach, liver and bowels, for general debility and renal in- activtiy, it is also a most efficient remedy. Ap- petite and sleep are improved by it, it expels rheumatic humors from the blood, and enriches a circulation impoverished by mal-assimitation. OO oe Southern Bivouae.

It is uot quite certain where the first gold discovery was made, but probably either in Cabarrus or Mont- gomery county. The Beaverdam mine in Montgomery was discovered in 1524, by the late Allen Harris. who lived ona portion of the property. The news spread very rapidly throughout adja- eeut counties, and hundreds of men left their usual occupations and tlocked to the place, eyuipped with buckets, pans, hand-rockers, picks, shovels, and a few necessary articles for camping out. Many of them hilt little log houses, and made themselves comfort- able while pursuing their At one time, about 1LS826-27, there were scarcely less than oUVU miners employed there in washing out the “blue grit” found from three to six feet below the rocky bed of Beaverdam creek and in the “dry hollow,” the former the property of thé late Col. West Harris, and the latter, belonging to —— Chisholm. It is believed that the first application of steam power to mining purposes in the South vas made at Bea- verdam. The late Hon. (has. Fisher, * father of the late Col, Chas. F. Fisher. has the honor of introducing steam power to drive a large rocker at that place in 1825. His engineer was a northern man named Bosworth, brought on with the engine to set it up and put it to work. Looking back to that early date in the use of steam power, and recounting the work this engine was required to do, one is aston- jshed at the feeble capacity of the en- labors. ‘on this property. SALISBURY,.N. C., FEBRUARY 4, 1886. gines then made as compared with those of the present day. The rocker driven by Mr. Fisher's engine did not exceed ten feet in length, nor 3 feet in width. The engine was set up near | the creek, just above high water mark. Bosworth superintended the engine, keeping close watch to see that it was working right. Other men were em- ployed in shoveling the “grit” into the rocker, which had a false perforated bottom, and another man with a rake. to keep the “grit” stirred up and rake out the coarse gravel. And thus the work went on, how long, it is not now possible to ascertain; nor is. the writer able to say whether or not it was a pro- -fitable investment. It was no doubt ‘attended with heavy expense, both in | the first cost of the engine and its | transportation on road wagons by the way of Fayetteville, by which route ‘and mode nearly everything from the north then came. | ‘The simple hand-rocker, then s0, /commonly in use, was not only cheap pnd convenient, but after a little ex- |perience in its use, as ethcient and lexpeditions as the character of the lmining required. They are still used fat this mine by farmers in the fall | of the year when they have spare i time from the growing crops. | Itisa remarkable fact that no well | detined vein of ore has ever been found ‘on the adjacent hills to which the free heold in the bed of the creek and the ivdry hollow” could be traced with any /reasonable certainty. It still remains & question, Where does it come from ¥ ‘after 62 years of more or less mining : Vhe surface of a Hlarge portion of the flat lands near Flagetown, between the lulls and the lcreek, have also been washed for gold, and the late ‘Phos. ae Forney, made, it \ is ‘lieve ‘ery tine rages & eine ] ee is believed, very me wages luicing it. i turbance at the court, we would inter | ‘There is stul another note-worthy ifact in relation to avother interest near this mine: The farmers who lived in its vicinity were in better pecuniary circumstances before the discovery of ;the mine, and were more prosperous, jthan atterwards. Estimating their wealth by the number of their negro | slaves, their successors never approxi- mated them. ‘here Were at least five | farmers living within two miles of the | Beaverdam mine before its discovery -| who owned each from 30 to 60 slaves ; and their fortunes were made by raising !eotton, corn, wheat, oats, flax, tobacco, rete, and by saving what they made. Phey were abreast with farmers in lother more favored agricultural see- [eee not only in wealth, but in’ their i eeneral social relations. Phe neighbor- /hood declined after the opening of the lmine and never fully regained its for- |mer prosperity, though since the war ‘there is very evident improvement: and especially within the fast ten years hus there been a stead: upward ten- | dency. It may be truthfully said that many other neighborhoods far removed from eold mine have experienced the same or avery similar fate. and that it is not fair to charge this adverse fortune to the account of the mine. While it may not be safe to assert the contrary, it must be admitted that the presence of «gold mine was in this case power- less to avert the adverse fortune de- scribed: and that the glittering stream eminating from it discharged itself somewhere else than in the immediate Vicinity. * Mr. Fisher was many years in ad- vance of his time on the subject of inter- nal improvements. While a member of the Legislature he was appointed Chair- man of a Committee on the subject, and made an exhaustive report to that body, in which he urged that every possible en- couragement should be given to the estab- lishment of cotton and wool factories, and all the various manufacturing inter- ests of which the State was capable. This reported was republished in the “Western Carolinian’ ten years after- wards, as embracing the most important tacts on the general subject of improve- ments, and their importance as a Means of State progress and independence. ~——> +> : An Intelligent Ape in Dresden.

Qld Court Records. Cor. News and Observer. The old court records of Rowan county may be as interesting to some of the readers of the News & Observer as they were to your correspondent, who had the pleasure of looking over them quite recently and from which he copied the following: “North Carolina ) February Term Rowan county) 1776. Atan Inferior Court of Pleas and Quarter Sessions begun and held for the county of Rowan at the court hourse in Salisbury on the Sixth Day of February in tbe year of our Lord 1776 and in the XIV year of the reign of George the Third, King of Great Britton &c-—before county commissioned to hold courts &e. &e. Present, Walter Lindsay Esq (only one magistrate ) The Court adjourned till tomorrow 10 o'clock. Wednesday Feb the 7th—The court met according to adjournment. Pres- ent , Walter Lindsay, Hsq—(only one Esq) Adjourned till tomorrow 10 o'clock. Thursday Feb 8th. ‘The Court met according to adjournment. Present, W. Lindsay Esq. And adjourned till court in course, viz, First Tuesday in May 1776." There was no business transacted at this court except the filing of some in- ventories. There being but one Hsq present, he was not disposed to trans- a‘t w.uch bus ness, although he appears to have been loyal to the crown. — It would seem that the other justices were either afraid and awed by the public sentiment for independence or were themselves disloyal to the crown; and there being. no record of any dis- that they were disloyal subjects of King George the Third, otherwise they would have assisted his honor, W Lind- say, Esq., in holding the court. On the following page and exactly twelve months from the adjournmet of the last court. whose record we have given, we find the following entry written in a bold hand: “American Independence. February, 1777." On the next page following this, we find the record of the first court held after the Declaration of American In- dependence and according to an ordin- ance of the State of N.C. “State of North Carolina |} To wit Rowan Co. y Salisbury. February term,in the year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven, and in the tirst year of American Independence. at a court of | Sessions of the Peace, begun and held at the eourt house, in the town of Saksbury and for the county of Rowan agreeable to an ordinance of — the said State. held at Halifax on the 10th day ! of Nov. last, &e., &e." It will be observed there was an in- terreguiin of exactly one year, during which time the citizens of Rowan coun- ty did not have the pleasure of attend- ing a justice's court at Salisbury and to engage in the usual horse swapping and racing. The next court was held under a new government to which they had to swear alleghince. At near- ly every court for some time after this, nen were presented heca ise they would not take the prescribe | oata of —alle- viance. but when they were arraigned before the court they beeame loyal at onee —took the oath prescribed and were discharged. It would seem even in those days, that there were some that were not so patriotic and liberty loving as to want to die for their country and for its free- dom. Ve think some archaeologist or his- torian might write a graphic history of the old colonial days in North Carolina by consulting: these old court records if they are all preserved. They give an insight into the manners aud cus- toms of those times that would be of service to the historian who may un- dertake to write a correct history of North Carolina, past and present. The writer hasan mind two gentlemen in our Stateeminently fitted for this work and will at another time name them in the columns of the Vers and Observer. eee ee The Ohio Muddle. The Senate branch of the Ohio legis- lnture is demoeratic. It is so though by virtue only of the election of four demoeratic senators from Hamilton county (Cincinnati). These four sen- ators hold certificates of their election duly executed, but charges are made by the republicans that they were obtair- ed by fraud and the republican minori- ty in the Senate has undertaken, even before an investigation ean be had, to “railioid” the four democrats out of the chamber and put in their places certain republican claimants for their seats. In this they are sustained by the presiding officer of the senate, the lieutenant governor of the State, who isa republican, and whose rulings are in favor of his party friends regardless of law and rules of the senate. He has endeavored to maintain, despite the law tothe contrary, thrta quorum might be had without the presence of the democrats, including the four sit- | ting senators from Hamilton county. and proceeding upon the false theory he has sought to ovs: the four demo- ; crais in question by simple resolution of the republican minority and_to put in their places republicans. This ex- Justices of said | | bees opposed to the utmost-by the ma- ‘jority, which does not propose in the first place to be over-ridden by a mi- ‘nority and in the second place to per- mit a highhanded effort to destroy par- _ty representation to succeed. The re- “sult has been a series of wordy conflicts during the last few days and such i scenes of confusion as have rarely dis- | graced American legislative assemblies. ‘The manifestly illegal rulings of the re- puvicen president have been ignored | y the clerks who are democrats and | { by the democratic majority; the latter having sought at all times an order of business in accordance with the forms of law and propriety. It has been im- possible to obtain such @ manner of rocedure, though, it appears, and our [atest accounts indicate a complete separation of the democratic and republi- can wings.. The minority Bas the presi- dent; the democratic ~ majority the clerks and the Senate journals, and the Democrats having right on their side can no doubt afford to fight it out on this lineif it takes all winter. The whole business has been most disgrace- ful to the republican party of Ohio. It has been a deliberate purpose to gag Democratic utterance by action beyond all law and reason and rule of decorum, and that it has failed thus far to sue- ceed does not lessen its enormity. It should be taken up by the democratic press of the country and made to ap- pear in all its hideousness, for it is but in keeping with the action of the re- publican party generally whenever par- ty exigency has demanded action in defiance of law. The Ohio senatorial minority sticks at nothing. On the meeting of the Senate Monday morn- ing, for example, the usual brow-beat- ing tactics were undertaken by the re- publicans when ademocrat moved to adjourn. The chair ruled all such mo- tions out of order. Thereupon, as re- ported, “the democrats, anid great ex- citement, demanded that the clerk call the roll on the question of adjourn- ment. The president tried to drown lthe voice of the clerk with his gavel, }but the roll was called, twenty-six ; members voting for adjournment. The | democratic menibers started out while jthe clerk handed the roll call to the president to be announced. That oth- cial tore it in several pieces and threw lit on the floor, while the crowd surged jin front of the railings, and the great- fest confusion prevailed. The clerks jall left their places, and as soon as partial order could be restored the pres- ident proceeded to read certain rules, jwhich the republican minority voted jon and declared adopted. Democratic | adjournment was taken to Wednesday, land the republicans to ‘Tuesday morn- ling, The incident shows clearly the tem- ;perof the republicans. They propose {to ral ruin in aceordiuce With the iprinciples which have actuated their | party asa whole since tis formation, They have sat at the feet of thei par- ity prophets and the lessons they have Hlearned are to the effect that the law of ithe land may be observed so long as it does not interfere with purty aims, but has soon as it says no to party ereed or | policy i tmust be treated with contempt, ignored, trampled upon, It must be made to sitbserve party purposes and must be bent to this end when neces- sary without regard to right. The will of the people is lost sight of en- tirely and party ascendancy alone is made the object of endeavor. The sorand old party,” heaven save the mark! has been the party of violence against the law, cf fraud and of cor- ruption from its birth, us witness its visiting statesmanship, its electoral count commission, ete., etc. It 1s not strange that its Ohio children should now endeavor to put into practice the lessons it has tanght by example if not by precept. The thing for the people to do is to keep this party where it has been put by the popular will—in retire- ment, and so to let it. perish through the operation of its own innate cor- ruption. e or A Time for all Things. Timeliness is as important as fitne:s The neht thing may become wrong unless it is done at the right time. Look well to the time of domgy any- thing; there is a time for all things. If your wife looks wearied and worn out be sure it is not the time to tell her that the dinner is not hot or that the bread is sour. Comfort her—cheer her up Use the ten thousand little strata- gems you were wont to handle so skil- fully im the old days to bring out the siniies around her lips. ££ you are annoyed or vexed at people, just remem- her it is not the right time to speak. Close your mouth-—shut your teeth to- gether firmly, and it will save you many a useless and unavailing regret and many a bitter enemy. If you hap- pen to feel a_ little cross—and who among us does not. at some time or other 7- do not select that time for re- proving your noisy household flock. Une word spoken in passion will make a sear that a summer of smiles can hardly heal over. Jf you are a wife. never tease your husband when he comes home weary from a days busi- ness. Itisnotthe right time. Do not ask him for expensive outlays ywhen he has been talking about hard times —it is, most assuredly the wrong time. If he has entered upon an un- ‘dertaking :gaust your advice, do not seize on the moment of failure to say. “told you so!” In fac’ itis never the traordinary proceeding has naturally ‘right time for those four monosyllables. | _O, if people only knew enough. to dis- ‘eriminate between the right time and the wrong there would be less- do- | mestic unhappiness, less silent sorrow ‘and less estrangement of heart. The | greatest calamities that overshadow our lives have sometime their germ in ‘matters as apparently slight as this, If you would only pause, reader, before the stinging taunt, of the bitter sneer, ‘or the unkind scoff passes your lips— | pause just long enough to ask yourself, “is it-the right time for me to speak ?” —you will shut the door against many a heartache. The world hangs on little things, and there are many more trivial than the right time and the wrong. gee Mr. Draper and P. 8. Ney. From the Statesville Landmark.

Lyman C. aper of Madison, Wisconsin, the author of “The Heroes of- King’s Mountain,” with whom he had had some correspondence on the subject, and who was known to be gathering ma- terial bearing on the question under discussion, asking him if he is writing on the subject and what his conclusions are.

Capt. Crawford died the Tsth, during the march to Nocori, where he was buried. He was unconscious un- til-his death. Lieut. Maus then assum- ed command. While the troops were en route to Nocori two squaws enter- ed the camp, through whom arrangc- ments were made by Lieut. Maus for a conference with two bucks of. the hos- tile band. This was ended by chief Nana and one buck and his wife and a child of both Geronimo and Natchez, the sister of Geronimo, one boy and a woman being given to Lieut. Maus as hostages for the observance of peace until Geronimo shall have met Gen. Crook, with whom he expressed a wish to have a talk. The meeting between Crook and Geronime will take place in about a month and will undoubtedly end inthe surrender of the Indians. The band consists of chief Geronimo, Natehez, Chihuahua and Nana, twenty bucks and some women and children. Lieut. Maus is now heading for Lang’s ranch, ae Spirits of Turpentine.

Then it is a sure preventive against moths; by just dropping a trifle in the bottom of drawers, chests and cupboards, it will render the garments secure from ipjury during the summer.

San Franciseo, Jan. 28.—A dispatch from Lieut. Maus through Gen. Crook states that January 11th, the troops under Capt. Crawford surrounded an Indian camp fifty miles southeast of Nocori, Mexico. After a running fight the Indians escaped, but sent word that thev wished to hold a conference. While the troops were Waiting for the conference they were attacked by 154 Mexican soldiers. Efforts were made tu let them know that the troops were Americans and fricnds. Capt. Craw- ford and Lieut. Maus advanced to talk, when a volley was fired. Capt. Craw- ford was shot in the head. Horn, an interpreter, was wounded. The Mexi- can fire was returned. The firing last- ed half an hour, when Lient. Maus sueceeded in having a talk with the officer in command of the Mexicans, their captain having been killed. He was told that the Americans were tak- en for hostiles. owing to the darkness.

As promised recently. the WATCHMAN will say something in regard to the abol- ishment of the Inferior Court. Under | the old regime Rowan had two terms of the Superior Court a year for the trial of | civil and criminal cases and two terms | | of the Inferior Court for the trial of crimi- | nal cases only. | Murphy said of him : ' _..| both were natives of Granville. The Inferior Court was | Hon. Hugh Waddell told us that the Leg- Archibald Henderson. Raleigh News-Observer: The Salisbury WaTcHMaN states that the old monument standing in the Luthern cemetery there, erected in 1825, to the memory of Archi- bald Henderson, Chief Justice of North Carolina, by the members of the Salis- bury bar, is leaning considerably and will soon fall if the foundation is not repaired. | But Archibald Henderson was not Chief Justice. He was a very eminent lawyer, and, as the able and accomplished Judge in his dine ederes a ‘hapel Hill, he was “the model lawyer o eel Caroline.” He wasa brother of Chief Justice Leonard Henderson and The late introduced as a court for jail delivery.) jature desired to put Archibald Hender- Then it took more than six and gencrally | twelve months for a citizen to have his civil cases tried, and such was the delay from this cause that parties were com- pelled to compromise their cases, and often at great sacrifices. The constitution requires that the people shall have their causes heard without de- nial, sale or delay. Under the present sys tem Rowanhas a Superior Court every three monthsfor the trial of both civil and eriminal causes. This is not only a jail delivery, but it gives the people speedy hearing of causes, and visits speedy justice to the evildoer. By the increase of the Judges, our representative, Mr. L. 8. Overman, was enabled to give Rowan four terms of Superior Court at a less cost than they were having before abolishing the Inferior Court. The Judges are paida salary by the State and there is no extra cost to the county. *The Inferior Court cost per diem of the presiding justices’ in ex- the | <on on the Supreme Court Bench but he declined, saying that one of the family was enough.—Sfar. ] The error had been noted and the cor- lrection would have been made in this ‘issue: but the Wilmington Star, always 'on the alert where the history of the | State or any of her great men is concern- led, Kindly makes the correction for us. ltt was a natural mistake: The mind of the reporter was lingering with memories ofa charming granddaughter, over whom ‘the last sad rites of burial were being ‘performed. Looking from the open the tottering monument of this il- lJustrious Carolinian suggested the item. lIt was merely Japsus memorize in writing | Chief Justice. Last August the WATCHMAN repro- duced from the columns of the Star a brief Sketch of Archibald Henderson, from which we quote: “Unlike his brother, who was of some- | what stammering speech, Archibald Hen- jderson was an orator. Judge Murphy, grave, cess of the ordinary expenses attendent in his elegant address at Chapel Hill, re- on Courts. When there were but two terms of the Inferior Court, it cost the county $108 a year. At one time we had four terms of this Court and it cost the coun- | ty $216. So the abolition of the Inferior | Court is an actual saving in cash to the) county. The Magistrates surely would | haye abolished the Inferior Court them- selves under the circumstances, as the four terms of Superior Court were enough. It was better to do it by Legislative enactinent:) when it could be done by simply inserting aline in the Judicial bill, than to have the trouble and expense of giving notice, getting the justices’ togeth- erand going through the six months in- | cubation process of a tardy law. | If the people desire—indulgent heaven forbid—the re-establishment of the Infe- | rior Court, there is nothing to prevent | their doing so atany time. This would} | be valuable in case the dockets cannot be | cleared by the usual four terms a year. | But it is not necessary or wise to do so} now. At no time last year was the jail ' crowded, and in fact, after the four terms of regular Court had been in operation | for a while the jail was frequently empty | for weeks at atime. Rowan has four terms of Superior Court of two weeks each, but after the next term it is more than probable that we can get along with one week at each term, as the docket has been reduced until there is scarcely | enough on it to entitle it to be called a docket. This system, coming at stated intervals just fills the bill. Under the) system asx it was, the Inferior Court did not aceomplish all that it was intendef or, expected that it should do. Instead of the terms being divided so as to come on about the middle of the interim between the holdings-of the Superior Court, their | Bittings were just before those of the high- | er Court, and asa consequence the jail was generally crowded at the beginning of the term. Taking it all around, the change has been for the better, so far. as the writer can judge, andthe county has been re- lieved of making expenditures of home funds, while the State pays no more to the Judge presiding than if he were doing’ nothing. now 8 ne 2 2 Blair Bill.

If he had been on the Bench he would have left a name but little lower than that of the three or four first class jurists who have been Chief Justice of the State. He died when his intellectual powers Were in full splendor, at his home at Salisbury.

The main point of the resolution is as follows : “That it is the right of the Senate to call for any paper relating to the conduct of removed or suspended appointees, or to the qualification and fitness of ail persons whose names are pre- sented to the Scnate for confirmation or rejec- tion, and it is the duty of the executive to com- ply with all demands tor the same.” The duty of the President in the premises is well defined in the constitution and laws he is sworn to support and execute, and it is not be- | lieved that he has failed in legal requirements or transcended the limits of the laws in respect to the appointments he has made. We have uo doubt the President is prepared to meet the legal demands of the Senate, and that he will also resist any attempted encroachment npon his executive rights. Mr. Puch, of Alabama, offered a ‘substitute for Riddleburyer’s resolution, which went over | with it to the next day. One of the good effects of this partizan at- | tack on the President—purely partizan—will be to solidity his Democratic friends in Congress and the country at large. The men who voted for Cleveland did so because they wanted a change in the administration of public affairs, and this attempt to hamper or intimidate him, and prevent his carrying out the will of the majority, is an insult to the people and will be resented by them as it should be. > - Col.

Reconnaissance in Western North Carolina. BY WILLIAM BREWSTER. Mr. Brewster is a Professor in Harvard University, and visited Western North Carolina last year for scientific purposes. His report of over 15 pages, pamphlet form, has been handed us, from which we make the following extracts: © From an ornithologist’s standpoint the region under discussion may be easily and naturally treated as embracing three dis- tinct fauns, which, in all essential re- spects, conform closely with the Cana- dian, Alleghanian, and Carolinian Faunz of Eastern North America at large. The boundaries of these divisions are deter- mined chiefly by elevation, the Canadian occupying the tops and upper slopes of the higher mountains down to about 4500 feet, the Alleghanian the mountain sides, higher valleys, and plateaus between 4500 and 2500 feet, and the Carolinian everything below the altitude last named. Owing to the irregular surface of the country, no one of these faune is contin- uous over a large areca, for the birds, as well as the trees and shrubs, are contin- ually changing with the elevation. I have left a valley where Mockingbirds, Bewick’s Wrens, and Cardinals were singing in water oaks, sweet gums, and magunolias, climed a mountain side cov- ered with oaks and hickories, and inhab- ited by Wilson’s Thrushes, Ycllow- throated Vireos, and Rose-breasted Gros- beaks, and within an hour or two from the time of starting found myself in a dense spruce forest where Winter Wrens, Golden-crested Kinglets and Red-bellied Nuthatchets were the most abundant and characteristic birds. Indeed, were it pos- sible in the present state of our knowl- edge to indicate accurately. on the map the relative extent and position of the three faune by using a different color for each, as, for instance, green for the Cana- dian, red for the Alleghanian, and white for the Carolinian, the work when com- pleted would certainly present a strangely patched appearance. Probably the white would predominate in extent, with red next, and green last. The boundaries between the different faunal areas are sharply marked in places, in others only faintly so, one set of birds often overlapping and mingling with another throughout a belt of neutral ground. The line of separation between the Canadian and Alleghanian divisions, so far as I observed, is better defined than that between the Alleghanian and Carolinian,. The Canadian Fauna is also purer than either of the other two. Thus on Black Mountain, at about 5000 feet, I found only three species (Parus carolinen- sis, Cathartes aura, and Colinus virgin- tanus) which are not common and more or less characteristic forms of the Cana- dian Fauna of New England; whereas double this number of Carolinian forms extended upward into the AHeghanian areas, and as many more Allezhanian birds downward over Carolinian territory. The lowest valleys of all possess a few Louisianian species, such as Dendroica dominica and Peucwa bachmani; but this infusion is too inconsiderable to be of much practical importance. An interesting feature, more or less noticeable in each of the three faunal di- Visions just mentioned, is the unusual restriction of certain species and the general distribution of others. Thus Dendroica blackburaize and cerulescens, elsewhere mainly confined to the Cana- dian Fauna, were here found in equal or even greater abundance over most of the Alleghanian, Laurus carolinensis, Lopho- phanes bicilor, and Seiurus motacilla ranged from the lowest valleys nearly to, and in some cases actually above, 4500 feet; while Dendroica virens, in the North com- mon alike to the Alleghanian Faun, was met with only in the *balsams’ at high elevations on the Black Mountains. ary part, various local conditions—such as the presence or absence of certain trees or shrubs—having clearly more in- fluence.

Another curious fact is the apparent absence in the breeding season of many northern birds which might be reasonably expected to occur. ¥ * * * * * * * Owing to the briefness of my stay and the rapidity of my movements it was im- possible to collect many specimens, In most cases my material barely serves to authenticate my notes; in very few will it warrant generalizing. But as far as it goes it indicates that at least some of the northern birds inhabiting this elevated southern region have been more or less modified by the peculiar conditions of their environment. The Solitary Vireos and Juncos are decidedly larger thau their northern representatives; the Rob- ins and Black-capped Chickadees (artri- capillus) are apparently smaller. Others again, as the Brown Creeper, Golden- crested Kinglet, and Red-bellied Nut- hatch, do not differ appreciably.

(From Our Regular Correspondeni.]} WASHINGTON, Feb. 1, 1886. The proceedings of the week in Con- gress have been partly overshadowed in interest by the fight which the Republi- cans of the Senate have forced with the Administration. Our lawmakers have not been idle, however, although there has been but little legislation to speak for their industry. Both ends of the Capitol | gave one day to obituary cloquence. It was With these and a few similar cases it is | evident that altitude plays only a second- | ae memory of the late Representative Ell- wood of Illinois. Then Dakota has consumed a large share of the Senate’s time, and debate on this question promises to be losg. Interest in Dakota’s 7 and demands has been enhanced during the discussion by the presence on the floor of the Senate of her two aspirants for Senatorial honors, Messrs. Moody and Edgerton. They are similar in appearance, both being large, portly men with short grey beards. They listen to every word that is said about their territo- ry, and occasionally furnish a speaker with some data or some explanation that is needed. The Republicans of the Senate do not rest casy with a majority of eight. They are trying to get additional strength in Dakota, and are planning to capture Wash- ington and Montana Territories in the near future with Idaho in the distance. They have not forgotten that bat for Colorado coming in in 1876, the Hayes fraud would never have consummated, . - During the week the House of Represen- tatives has talked a great deal on unim- portant subjects, has quarrelled a good deal to no purpose, and has passed fifty little pension bills. I have alluded before to the many bnew pension schemes that have been introduced into the present Congress, be- sides all of old ones of the last Congress that have come up fresh again. Congress- men seem to vie with each other in propo- sing absurd plans for increasing pensions. If they were all carried into effect they would bankrupt the Treasury of the United States. And the worst feature of every new pension proposal is the demagogic spirit it inevitably awakens in both parties in in Congress. Many of them are not even seriously Intended, their real object being to ensnare and capture what is known as the soldier vote. The Presedent’s refusal of the Senate's latest demand for papers has been the topic of discussion here for the past three days. The pavers called for were those bearing upon official character of a District Attor- ney of Southern Alabama. They were in the custody of the Law Department, and the late incumbent. ‘The Senate, in secret session, Was notified by Attorney-General Garland “that it was not considered promo- live of public interests to comply with its request for the transmission of the docu- ments mentioned,” Some of the Republican Senators do not believe in trying to extort reasons from the Presidcnt, and who have been foreed into this attitude by the caucus, are diposed to be recalcitrant. Rumor has it that there are three who are so much opposed to the stand taken by their brethern that the ma- jority are extiemely anxious about them, Mr, Edmunds has been accused by these disaffected Seuators of waging hostilities against the Administration in the hope of improvine his chances for re-election to the Senate. Ifthe President had been beat- en he would have obtained the credit. of having made a good party fight, The Democratic Senat rs caucused avain and were all in’ favor of supporting the President, believing hin to be right in maintaining his constitutional perogative Senators of both partics secm to think the issue is pretty well made up now, and that for some time, at least) there will be no action upon the nomination of persons to succeed suspended or removed Republicans. The fact that the President has not hitherto been called upon for any exposure of his reasons for making official Changes is evi dence that the Republican Senators were only seeking partisan advantage, Reversing the usual order, the President made the people his guests of honor at the first Of his evening receptions. The levee to the Diplomats, Conzressmen, and the Army and Navy will come later. Quite as elaborate preparations were made at the White House for receiving the people as have been made in times past for the enter- tainment of officials. ‘The parlors were banked with palm trees and. flowers, the conservatory was open and lighted, and the Marine band played throughout the eve- ning. The reception was a crush as usual, but the President was cordial and smiling, and the crowd was good natured and pa- tient, SS a ae ee Mr. Edward Atkinson, the well known economist, seems to dis- cuss the small cconomies of life with the same ease that he handles the tariff and cotton manufacturing. In Boston, the other day, he proved to his own satisfae- tion and presuinably to that of the New England Woman’s club, before which he spoke, that it is not only possible but pleasant to live on $200 a year. This amount he made over the cost of food, light, heat, clothes, room rent and a few extravagances. ‘The suit of clothes he wore, he said, represented one included in his list at a valuation of $8.50 and its cut, he further said, had been admired by some of the club-men of Boston. Mr. Atkinson quoted Bonamy Price’s defini- tion of man, “the only animal endowed with progressive wants,’ and he held that the advice “‘wheresoever your lot may be cast, learn therewith to be dis- contented” is far more wholesome than its contrary, Which may be a_ progressive tenet, but is certainly not a philosophical or religious one. During his remarks, Mr. Atkinson introduced as an illustra- tion a cooking apparatus of his own in- vention, which as described consists of a square woodeu box mounted on wooden legs, containing a box surrounded by water and heated from below by an ordi nary kerosene lamp, so that aman may jsit and read his paper by the light of his |stove while the latter stews his supper. An eighteen pound ham was cooked at cost of a cent’s worth of oil, and a turkey warranted to be tough was made tender by the expenditure of one anda half cents’ worth of oil. When we down here learn to live in that way we will all get rich, but we fear we'll never learn. We were cut out after a different pattern from that of our Yankee brethren, and we are afraid that but a small proportion of us will get rich hereafter, as has been the case heretofore.—uleigh News & Observer. — — an 0mm Not Symptoms, but the Disease. It would seem to be a truth applicable by all, and especially by professors of the healing art, that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its symptoms, should be the chief aim of medication. Yet in how many instances do we see this truth adinitted in theory, ignored in practice. The reason that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is suc- cessful in s0 many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at- tributable to the fact that it isa medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheuma- tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it, it goes to the fountain head. It is really, npt nominally, a radical remedy, and it eudows the systein with an amount of vigor which is its best protection against dis- ease, eee There are some marriages which re- mind us of the poor fellow who sajd: “She couldn't get any husband and he couldn't get any wife, so we got mare referred exclusively to the suspension, of Be See ~~ COURT “CALENDAR.

On last Friday night, a number of en- | terprising and progressive citizens met at “Kluttz & Co’s drug store, for the purpose of inaugurating a Building and Loan As- Theo. F. Kluttz, Esg., was called to the Chair, and Theo. Buerbaum, | requested to act as Secretary. The Chairman stated the object of the meeting clearly and forcibly, and was followed by Messrs. I. H. Foust and T. Hl. Vanderford, in timely remarks. A motion of Mr. A. H. Boyden prevail- ed to this effect: that the Chair appoint a committee to solicit subscriptions to the vene again one week hence, and should scribed in the interim, that they then proceed to organize the Association by adopting a constitution, electing officers &e. The motion of W. T. Rainey, that 25 tion fee to cover expense of books, station- ery and et cetera; that the shares be $100 each and that 25 cents per week be col- lectected on each share, was carried. Subscriptions to the stock were next in order, and asa result one hundred and fifty shares,—815,000—was subscribed in the meeting. The Chair then appointed the following committee to solicit sub- scriptions: A. H. Boyden, Theo. Buer- baum, E. B. Neave, D. R. Julian, T, H. Vanderford, and Capt. G. W. Gates, and suggested that subscription books be kept open at Kluttz’s, Buerbaum’s and J. 8. McCubbin’s stores, the Post office and Na- tional Bank. The meeting adjourned to meet in ac- cordance with motion adopted, on Friday the 5th inst, in the Hall over Kluttz’s drug store. This report is from information furnish- ed by the secretary of the meeting. This isan encouraging start, and as there is no doubt as to raising the other hundred shares of stock, the organization will be perfected on Friday night. An- other boom to building here. Let the work go on. There is much need for town and this Association puts it within in his buckskin coat, high boots and office last Monday. He looked as if he jhad just stepped from the saddle of a His magazine rifle The usual allowance, were made out of the fund for the poor, tothe amount of eee committee of two to confer with Mr. A. Parker, President of the Hook and Lad- der Co., for the purpose of ascertaining what was needed in the fire departments to make them more efficient. This committee has gone through the departments and has concluded to rec- hose for Hand Engine No. 1., which is manne by a negro organization. This 300 feet of hose will enable this engine to be of some little efficacy should a well be found within four hundred feet of the fire. The Chemical Engine is to be repaired and a company organized to take charge of and operate it. A uniform was granted to the Hook and Ladder Company. A fire alarm is needed and this commit- tee will have that matter under consid- eration also. Mr. A. Parker has from the first taken great interest in the fire department and he is, with probably one exception, the only holder of real estate in the H. & L. Co. He deserves much praise for his efforts in that direction. The WATCHMAN does not like to be considered as officious or chronic in its suggestions but it cannot see why these gentlemen, commissioners of “the town, do not organize a scheme which would be permanent. Everybody stands ready to say that repairing these old and inefficient relics of last century is at the least of very doubtful value. The stand pipe scheme suggested last week, would be efficacious, durable, cheap and abreast of the times. Why not begin it or some other really valuable undertaking which is not dependent on the whims of hu- manity, white or black, and which would be a credit to the town and the progres- sive spirit of the age. ~~ <>- — Heilig’s Mills Letter. HEILIG’s MILLs, N.C., Feb. 1, 1886. Ed., Watchman:—In last week's issue we notice that “Subscriber” says there is a great deal of complaint in our schools. The pupils talk of whipping the teacher. Now of what does he complain, of the pupils talk of whipping him, or is it be- cause they did not flog him? Let them give it to him, ten to one he deserves it. Again, he says I understand it is alla mistake about Uncle Reuben’s strong son. Why should a man boast of some- thing that is untrue? If he intends to say that John did not carry the hag, we beg to take issue with him. ‘We write that we do know, and testify of that which we have seen.” If he wishes to have it substantiated we will prove it by such menas Wm. Beaver, R. W. Bost and others who had an occular demonstra- tion of the feat. Then, again, he says John Bost has left for parts unknown. That sounds like John had committed some great crime and left the country. Well, if he calls Statesville “parts unknown” he is correct again, John has shown considerable tal- ent in mechanism, Any one will be con- jvinced of this if he will but take the ,trouble to visit his shop and view sep- ;arators and other toy machines made while he was a mere child; and later, the bicycles, pea hullers, ete. And now he has concluded to go to Statesville (to parts unknown) to work in a machine shop. La —_— a _ — China Grove Breezes. Your reporter was called into Prof. A. W. Owens’ fine school, at the Sloop | school house, in China Grove township, |where he found 50 pupils engaged with | their books. Prof. Owens has no equal when it comes to teaching the rudiments, and he showed off his school to advan- tage. He had them to read in concert, to declaim, to sing and to make oral cor- rections in grammatical construction. These exercises show how welk the work of the teacher has been done. I was unable to attend the debate at China Groye last week, but A. W. Owens, Squire Sloop, Chambers Owens and others talked on this question: “Were our fore fathers justifiable in driving the Indians from this country.” It was deeided that they were, perforce of the arguments presented. Business in hickory timber is very prosperous in China Grove, and is im- proving. It is being conducted by Cline | Bros., and Mr. John Thome. These are enterprising people and are not afraid to take a risk when there is a chance for } making an honest profit in a business. George Sloan, the old veteran black- smith, who has done many an_ honest days’ work, has again opened a shop at China Grove. Mr. W. C. Culp of Gold Hill has gone into the timber business and will make a specialty of handling walnut lumber. Mr. A. H. Gheen had a sale last Wednesday. Everything sold reasonably well. Mrs. Ghasky, wife of Joshua Ghasky, died at her home in Locke township, last week of pneumonia. ‘Squire J. P. Wiseman is in bad health. Mrs. John Lingle had a fall from her door steps recently which displaced one of the bones of her arm and. broke the other. She was attending to her house- hold affairs when this painful accident happened. , Mr. L. L. Haynes killed three wild turkeys on last Friday.

Those interested in the history of min- ingin N.C. should not fail to read the article on the first page, written by the Senior Editor of this paper. eee = Suggestions and Facts. [ Continued. } The valley between Dillo mountain range on the east and the Mauney moun- tain range on the west can be known by the general name of Flat creek valley, though Cedar creek also flows through it. In what we will call No. IV of these series this valley is termed a_ synclinal one, yet the slate of the country is both synclinal and auticlinal, for the general dip of the slates from Dillo is west, while that from Mauncey is east. Flat creek and Cedar creek flowing into the river in an almost parallel easterly course has a divide, and this divide is made by the auticlinal dips of the slate, and along the backbone of this divide, the slate is near- ly vertical. Here also, the most promi- nent veins of quartz appear and it will be readily perceived that neither the back- bone or the veins keep the line of the water course, but are crossed by them, for beginning at orabout the mouth of Cedar creek, we intersect a bold vein on D. C. Reid’s land. It crosses Cedar creek just above its mouth on its S. W. course, passes through Mrs. Park’s land, on to that of J. Love Morgan’s. Here it is in- tercepted by a cross course and is thrown considerably out of its line, in fact it is cut in two, and some 100 feet further east it passes the cross course and then resumes its course, It is then cut on Mr. Calvin Wyatt's land by a 4}x6 foot (in the clear of timber) shaft, 60 feet deep. This shaft is full of water now, but from out- put, itean be seen that the gangue of the vein was quartz, dolomite and spar, the walls being a slate and calcite con- glomerate; the gangue carries cubed gal- ena, slightly argentiferous, some little copper pyrite and some gold by panning. It is very evident that had this shaft been sunk inthe right place it would have shown pay ore. It may be that it does now for the parties who sunk the shaft have large bodies of ore stowed away in drifts the value of which could be easily known by forking the water with windlass or hand pumps. The vein continues on to and across the Stokes road. Parallel to this vein is avery large quartz vein, about 400 yards to the east; itis first seen on the banks of the river below the mouth of Cedar creek, on IHen- ry Crook’sland; the outcrop isin immense quartz boulders 3 to 6 feet wide. 6 to 10 feet long, and stick 2 to 6 feet out of the ground. The covered by the float quartz; there is evidently; two large veins here, which converge near the south corner of Crook's land where it joins Mr. Richard Hodge on the hill and ridge. try for miles, it evidently also converges near the 16 mile post on the Stokes road, with the Parks, Morgan and Wyatt vein, as noted, other parallel veins between this and Dillo mountain converge and contact with these. a Western North Carolina Gems. Mr. John IH. Southerland of Henderson county brought to our oflice yesterday several specimens of gems and valuable stones in the rough. Among these were large quantities of precious garnet, ori- ental spinel, sardonyx, staurolite, and fine corundum and specimens of obsidian which last comes from Haywood county. — Asheville Citizen, Oriental spinel is probably ruby spinel, whole surface is Continuing on over the coun- | | so called because of its red color; it is used in jewelry, and has a hardness of 8, which is harder than garnet and just that of the topaz. It is composed of alumina and magnesia, about two parts of the former to one of the latter. closely allied to the onyx; is a veined si- Sardonyx is licious gem stone of a reddish-yellow color, Staurolite, so called because the rhom- bic prisms frequently intersect each other so.as to form a cross, is generally opaque, and of a brownish black color. It cannot be classed as a gem stone. Obsidian is volcanic and is frequently the glassy state of an impure potash-feld- spar. The composition varies with the lavas of voleanoes. It is probable that the obsidian found in Haywood county glass, was slag from some blacksmith’s forge. = ———b> <i> aa The Death of the Wife of Secretary of State. THE TRIBUTES PAID THE MEMORY OF A TAL ENTED AND LOVABLE WOMAN, Mrs. Bayard. wife of the secretary of state, died at her residence in Washington at 8:30 o’clock Sunday morning. The im- mediate cause of her death was congestion of the brain, brought on by the shock ot her daughter’s sudden death two weeks ago. For the tirst weck following that event she stood the strain and excitement quite well, but a week ago last Friday she was compelled to take to her bed, and gradually grew worse from day to day, Thursday congestion of the brain made its appearance. She was unconscious for twenty-four hours vefore her death. Al- though for years Mrs. Bevard had been a contirmed invalid, ske had for the last six months been in better health than for years, ” Mrs. Bayard was!prevented by ill-health from appearing in society last winter, and her place was most acceptably filled by her accomplished daughter, whose sudden death shocked Washington but two weeks ago. This winter Mrs. Bayard’s health was so much improved that she took her place as the head of the cabinet ladies, and as- sisted at the President's reception on new year’s day. Miss Cleveland's tirst Saturday reception she filled the place of honor as hostess back of the line the blue parlor,with distinguished grace and marked cordiality, which was noted as a most pleasant feature of the occasion, At President Cleveland’s first state dinner, that was given in honor of the cabinet, two weeks ago Thursday night, she occupied the place of honor at the President's right, and the exchange of health and buoyant spirits added much to pay for it in small weekly installments. wat?r and waz about 75 feet in diameter. and bottom, still an invetid, she was in com tive good health when her daughter died. was about 51 years of age. The body day. closes ip absolute mourning for a week the White House and the homes of the cabinet ministers, and withdraws from society the President and Miss Cleveland, the mem- bers of the cabinet and their families. The President was immediately notified of Mrs. Bayard’s death, and he at once sent Col. Lamont with a note of condolence to the seeretary, and later inthe day Miss Cleveland call at the house. There will be no funeral services in Washington. The remains were taken by special car to Wil- mington and deposited in the Old Swedish clock this afternoon, when the Episcopal service will be read and the body placed inthe tomb. Mr. Bayard has asked that no official demonstration be made and the President will not goto Wilmington. Sev- eral members of the cabinet, however, will attend the funeral, - Mrs. Bayard was born in Baltimore in 1835. Her father, Josiah Lee, was one of the leading business men of that city thir- ty-five years ago, She met the secretary while his father was a Senator from Dela- ware, and they were married in 1856. There were twelve children born to them, seven of whom are still alive. Up to seven or eight years azo Mrs. Bayard was a lead- er iD socicty at the Federal capital. $a 9g op ‘Ashbel Smith. From San Antonio Semi-Weekly Express, Jan. 27. The funeral services in honor of Col. Ashbel Smith, president of the university regents, Tex., which took place yesterday, according to an- nouncement, in the hall of representatives, were largely attended. The pall dearers were: Dr. Wootin and Dr. Hadra, of the university regents; N. M. Roberts and R. L. Dabney, of ihe univer- sity faculty; Dr. Burt and Dr. Swearingen, of Travis County Medical society ; Hon. F. R. Lub- sock and Gen. Bee, of the State officials—all acting in an honorary capacity, and the follow- ing university students as the actual bearers of the casket: C. H. Miller, C. J. Bradshaw, Milton Whige, S. M. Jack, R. M. Hall, B. P. Bailey, A. L. Jackson and E. 8S. Lipscomb. in the State House, which were conducted by Bishop Elliot, assistent by Rev. Dr. Lee, of the Episcopal church, included some appropriate and touching allusions by the bishop, embody- ing a brief but just tribute to the distinguished character of the deeeased. The remains were followed by an immense procession—one of the largest ever seen in this city as had been directed by the Governor, who par- procession of carriages extended from the Cap- itol down Congress avenue and out Pecan str., a distance of seven squares, independent of 200 university students and the Austin Greys and a detachmeut of Houston Light Guard tn ad- vance on foot. A large numbcr of ladies at- tended the ceremonies at the State House, and many of them went to the cemetery. The escort of the remains, which arrived from Houston, Saturday night, consisted of a detach- ment of the Light Guard; and a number of Dr. Geo. A. Smith, of Ten- nessee, brother of the deceased, and a number prominent citizens. of ladies, were of the party. A military salute was fired over the grave. ne Mr. Hinton A. Helper. We have observed in two or three of our exchanges a disposition, not only to disparage this gentleman, but purposely to do him injustice and real wrong. This savors, to say the least, of ingratitude. The motive may be worse than that. But ingratitude is out of place, when North Carolina stands in need of all the friends she can enlist; and it is the more inappropriate and inexcusable, when ap- plied to Mr. Helper, a North Carolinian, returned to his native State after long absence, full of ardor to devote to her use the fruits of study and experience ac- quired abroad. And Mr. Helper is doing his work well, thoroughly and unselfishly. ‘If by chance, he has trodden on the toes of individuals, and disappointed the ex- pectations of personal vanity, the real and substantial service he has rendered, and is still rendering to communities, and to the State, cannot be overlooked.

Last Saturday week the Burrier's and Webb's, over on Grandmother mountain, got on the trail of a erown bear and a cub and traced them to a heavy ivy thicket. On Sunday they ascertained that the bears had not escaped. On Monday the chase was renewed and, in driving the bearg from the thicket, they were enabled to kill three and badly cripple another which got away. During the past fall and winter ten bears have been killed on the Grandmother mountain.—Lenoir Topie, In this county, January 26th, 1886, b Rey. Sam’l Rothrock, Mr. George Ww.

Mr. Talmage on Elope- ments. Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage preach- ed one of his double-barreled sermous on the subject of clandestine mar- riages and elopements ona recent Sun- day in Brooklyn, N. Y. It was one of his series on the “Marriage Ring.” His text was Proverbs ix., 17. He said: “I want to aim a point blank shot at clandestine marriages and escapades. _ Marriage is the ship that was launched by God for the good of mankind. But the ship has been struck by the winds of free loveism. The notions of socie- ty must be entirely reconstructed on the question of marriage. In New England, the supposed home of purity there are 2.000) divorces a year. In Massachusetts there is one divorce to every fourteen marriages. In Maine, that frigid State of good charity, there are 478 divorces granted each year, and in Vermont the swapping Wives is no great rarity. This sacred rite of marriage is being defamed daily. For every case that is reported, many more are hushed up. There is not an hour of the night that persons engaged in detiling the sacred rite are not climbing down ladders and hastening to other States where the law is less severe than in their own. The coach box and the back seat of the landeau are constantly in flirtation. Ministers of religion, mayors of cities and arms of the law are aiding to make the lives of young people miserable by uniting them in marriage, the bans of which have never been published. Mar- nage is made a joke. * * * * * * But ninety-nine out of every hun- dred —yes 909 out of every 1,000 clan- destine margiages—mean ruin here and hereafter. A girl might as well jump off at East River dock to think of it. The result is, first, trouble; then, police court; then, divorce; and, finally, hell. Satan presides over these matches. He names the trysting places. He pone out the preacher who will per- orm the ceremony. He directs to the railroad station, purchases the ticket, and, when the couple are whirling to wretchedness at the rate of forty miles an honr, he deserts them. Truant mar- riages are to be deplored, becanse they are nearly always proposed by bad men. They are generally bigamists, drunk- ards or brutes. They may be well dress- ed, well cologned and pomatumed, but they are really nothing but the es- sence of villiany. A man may marry a woman below him in station and elevate the woman to his level. But if a woman marries below her station she always falls to the level of her husband. The first year of such a life is happy from its very noyel- ty. The second year both grow hear- tily tired of each other. The third year brings divorce, the husband bee smes endorse every wild-cat | For solid | benefit we believe the legitimate news- | ublic, | A man can | ia drunkard and the woman a blacken- ‘ed waif of the street.

Both parties acknowledged the stealing of the money, their intimacy prior to the robbery, and in fact every- thing they were charged with. They were sent to jail in default of bail, to await trial at the next term of Lincoln Superior Court. The Newton Enter- prise says the woman is completely in- fatuated with Finger, who is ugly enough to stop a clock every time he looks at its face. When her husband offered bond for her she refused it, saying that she “loved Mon,” and in- tended to stay in jail as long as he did. Saturday her husband visited her in jail and again offered to furnish bail for her, but she still refused to allow it, and declared that she detested him. He then went away and bought a lot of nice furniture, which he sent to her room in the jail. She is only 15 years of age, but has been married two years. ANOTHER. Joaquin Miller's daughter Maud is twenty-one years old. She has diso- beyed her father, kicked out of the pa- rental traces and has two living hus- bands. She will probably land in jail. Her first husband A. L. MacKaye has sued for adivorce. Her father urged her to go with him to Mexico but she refused. He wrote to her: “very moment of your present life is acrime. As for your companion, the penitentiary is too good for him. He has taken you to shame and ruin, and it seems that the first thing he did af- ter the shameless marriage was to send you to beg money in my name, pre- tending that I had sent you out home- less. If you do not want to travel you can remain in Washington at the Cabin and resume your music, paint- ing and other studies.

Star. eee eee France in 1815--Napoleon and Ney. A friend has given us a clipping from an old paper. What paper it is can- not be ascertained, but it seems to have been printed in 1815. Of course it abounds in foreign news. The editors of those days didn’t think that any- thing but foreign news was worth printing. It didn’t make any differ- ence What was happening under their noses, they didn't pay any attention to it, but just naturally “honed” for in- telligence from over the seas. We re- produce, as nearly like the copy as possble, some of the foreign news that appeared in this old paper, as it has something of an interest even at this day: Paris, Oct. 6.—Such is the state of irritation among the lower classes, that the king, in_ his carriage, was insulted on the boulevards the day before yes- terday; his guard found it difficult to keep them off from the royal carriage; they used the most insulting language, ! and advised him to retire quietly to England before it was too late. Sever- al cried out to him that he had brought upon them all the miniseries of famine, and asked how he could appear in pub- lic tha in manner whilst they wanted bread. The apprehension of a famine is very general, the poorer classes are in great distress even at this moment. It is impossible not to recollect that the ery of bread was the signal which pre- ceded the horrors of the Revolution.

We have been informed by a gentle- man from Havre de grace, in Terrier, that Marshal Ney has escaped from is not informed. He further states, that the presence of the allied forces alone prevents rev- olutionary scenes in France. ES Unnecessary Work of Women. Elizabeth Cummings, in an ex- change, says: “I am convinced that one quarter of the work performed by women is unnecessary. and that the world would get on just as well with- out it. Itis lke the ottoman cover I once sawalady work. She was all bent up, and was putting her eyes out counting stitches, “I don't get any time for reading,” she said, plaintively, as she piccked up some beads on her nee- dle. “You must havea great deal of leisure.” And yet she had spent more time embroidering a ridiculous dog on a piece of broad cloth than would have sutficed to read 20 good books. It did not have the poor merit of be- ing economical, for the price of the materials would have bought enough handsome damask for two covers. A friend of mine tells of seeing a squaw seat herself by the town pump, unroll a bundle of calico, cut out a dress, make it, put it on and walk off, all in about two hours. I have always re- gretted that he did not continue the story by telling me that the squaw spent her leisure beautifully. I would not have women reduce their sewing quite to so simple a performance, but a good deal would be gained if they thought more about hving and _ less about its accidents. The transcendent fact is what we are, not what we accu- mulate or possess. Kven knowledge may be so used that it is merely an or- nament, which keeps up a twinkling about the mind, like bight jewels in pretty ears, and is only a possession, and not a part of ourselves. To fill time, to pass it busily, is not to use it. Labor in itself is not worthy. The meanest work that makes home a lovely, sacred place, is consecrated and fit for the hands of a queen; but deli- cate work that ministers to no human need, even if it has artistic merit to re- commend it, if it conspmes the hours a woman ought to use training her mind to think, and her eyes to see, and making her brain something more than a mere filling for her skull, is but busy idleness and a waste of time. I hope the day will come when every woman who can read will be ashamed of the “column for ladies,” printed in some of our papers, and which tells with more sarcastic emphasis than any words of mine, how women choose to spend their leisure. Surely if they have time to follow intricate directions for all sorts of trimming, and not so good as that sold in the shops at two cents a yard, they may, if they will, find a few mo- ments in which to read a book. —____~-4>>— Senator Ransom’s Spzech on Mr. Hendricks. From the New York World. Mr. Ransom believed it almost im- possible at this time to measure the worth to our country of a great charac- ter like that of the late Vice President. We are yet too near his life to write his history. He had lived forty-three years consp cuously befcre the public gaze, and had always proved himself the earnest, faithful champion of the people's rights. He had proved himself a lover of his whole country and _ its liberties. ‘The Southern States in this em>rgency felt deep, sincere and over- flowing sympathy and sorrow at the bereavement of their Northern sisters. “Tank Almighty God,” said Mr. Ran- som, “that the everlasting convenant of our Union is established in the hearts clouds of his sorrow we can behold the peace that never is to be broken.” SS ee The cigar that is called imported is abont as appropriately named as the hired girl we call domestic.— Yonkers Statesman, Gogglesop—‘“Very stupid girl, that Miss Wilpin.” Hamworth—*How so?” undrums the other evening, and [ asked her what was the difference between mys ‘If andadonkey.” “Well.” “Well?” , hy. by Jove, she said she didnt know.” — Philadelphia Times. Mary Anderson in washington. At Washington, D. C., Rhea and Mary Anderson, whé have been playing engagements as rival stars at the two theatres, have carried the rivalry into society. Mary Anderson drew a large audience, with standing room only, at Mrs. Z. B. Vance’s home there last Thursday. The news spread at the different receptions that Mary Anderson | was there, and the street before Senator | Vance’s home was immediately black- ened with carriages, and the people lin- gered near until long after 5 o'clock, “until Mary did appear.” There was envy in other Senatorial homes tha the North Carolina colleague should secure such a strong attraction, and chagrin to see a room full of callers suddenly melt away when told that the dramatic star was twinkling in Mrs. Vance’s parlor.— News and Observer. — Love for Newspapers. The following extract so well expres- ses our idea that we think the space it occupies will be well used: “The strong attachment of subseri- bers to a well-conducted newspaper is fully confirmed by all publishers. ‘Stop my paper, words of dread to beginners in business, lose their terror after a pa- per has been established a few years. So long as a paper pursues a just, hon- orable and judicious course, meeting the wants of its customers in all respects, the ties of friendship between the sub- scribers and the papers are as hard to break by an outside third party as the link which binds old friends in_ busi- ness or social life. Occasional detects and errors in a newspaper are overlook- ed by those who have become attached to it through its perusal for years. They sometimes become dissatisfied with it on account of something which has slipped into its columns, and may stop taking it; but the ubsence of the familiarsheet at their homes and offices for a few weeks be- comes an insupportable privation, and they hasten to take it again, and possi- bly apologize for haying stopped it. No friendship on earth 1s more con- stant than that contracted by the read- er for a journal which makes an honest and earnest effort to merit its contin- ued support. Hence, a couscientiously conducted paper becomesa favorite in the family. ae Hinta to Young Men. That clothes don't make the man. That if they once get into debt they may never get out of it. That parting the hair in the mid- dle brings on softening of the brain. That to deal honorsble with all men they begin with cheir washer- woman. That they need soiething more substantial than cigars kid gloves and a cane to start housekeeping with. That they can't recon on their fath- ers fortune to carry them througe life. Fortunes are slippery things—better have something else to fell back on. That girl who decks lierself in the latest things out, and parades the street while her mother is doing the washing, isn't worth wasting much love on. That a fellow who deliberately pro- poses matrimony to girl when he can't support himself, is either a_ first class fraud or a fool—unless he marries for money and becomes her hired man. ——Baltimorean. —_——s+o—__-— Statesmen who are Queer Drinkers. Correspondence of the Cloveland Leader. “Some of these statesmen are queer drinkers,” the saloonist went on. “A member I know drinks about forty drinks a day. He fills his glass to the brim and tells the barkeeper, when it runs over, his sight is bad and he can’t see well. One must have three lumps of sugar, a tablespoonful of water and a half goblet of whiskey for his usual dram. He dusts a little nutmeg~ over this, gulps it down and exclaims every time he does so that it is a drink fit for the gods. One Congressman drinks beer in great quantities, and he always puts pepper sauce in it. He is an econ- omical fellow and says that pepper sauce makes the beer brrn his stomach as well as whiskey, and his drinks cost him but half the price. “Some statesmen drink on the sly, and one I know who, if he sees any one in the saloon whom he is ashamed to have known that he drinks, will buy a cigar or get change for a quarter and then wait around until his friened goes out before he orders his dram. I don’t think,” concluded this man, “that statesmen drink as much as they used to. Public opinion is against it and they have to be careful.” es Bill Arp on Women. There is no record anywhere, in any history, of a happy marned state where a man had more than one wife. La- mech had two, but the scriptures sa nothing more about him. Adam didn't have but one, and Noah one and they started the buisiness of peopling the world. Old Father Abraham had one, and when he took another on the sly, old Aunt Sarah got after him, and she frailed out the second one with athrash pole and run her off. Jacob had two, and if ever a man deserved two he did; but they didn’t get along well, even thoug': they were sisters. Moses didn’t have bit one. King David had several, but he was cursed with them and ac- tually committed murder to get one of for he said, “My sin is ever before me.” time of it, for he had a thousand, and they kept him so harassed and bedeviled a good woman ina thousand he had not found. Of course not. How could a woman be good when she was only a thousandth part of a wife? But Solomon repented of his folly, and said it was all vanity. and advised all men to “live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest,” and to “beware of strange women. I never think of those surplus wives who are sealed te the Mormons without a feeling of sadness and pity, for every new one causes the others a pang of shame. ‘They are all in prison, and their dependence is-like that of a a bird that tamely looks to its keeper food. There is no escape, for woman is a proud creature and will suffer in silence rather than parade her folly to the world. Did you ever notice how a woman will gather and be strong, es- if she had a child or children pecial nee company ? « to kee The Observer and Gazette, Also.

It is now said that Edison, the in- ventor and electrician, has added anoth- er wonderful invention to his list. He has inveted a machine by which messa- ges can be sent or received while trains are at full speed. An experiment test- ing the process has been made and with complete sifcess. A New York dis- patch of the first inst, says: Messages written by the gentlemen of the party, addrcssed to themse.ves, were left at Clifton, and were received by the same gentlemen on the train while going at full speed. The apparatus used consists of an ordinary Morse key, a phonectic receiver, an electric mag~ net and a battery. No special or extra wire is used running between or near the rails, but the messages jump through the air between the tin root of the cars and the ordinary wires strung along by the side of the railway, a distance of from twenty-five to four hundred feet. ‘he farthest distance traversed today without a wire was some forty or fifty feet. The metalic roofs of the cars were connected to- gether by wires which communicated with a Morse telegraphic instrument placed in one of the cars. An operator sat in front of the instrument, and, though the noise of the train rendered the ticks indistinct, he read them easi- ly by means of a telephone, and wrote out the messages as they were deliv- ered.” Maidens of the South. The casual visitor of the South knows little of the refinement and love- liness of the well-bred Southern women. Like the haze covered mountains of North Carolina, “the land of the sky,” you must study from every point of view before you can properly appre- ciate them. They must know who you are before they unveil themselves to you. They do not overwhelm you with their knowledge of philosophy or abtruse science, and especially do they shrink from strong-minded views of things. But do not infer from their peaileners that they lack character. | Deprived of the luxury and ease in which they were reared, they teach, keep boarders, become milliners and even descend to their own kitchen with a sweetness and dignity that admits of no sense of degradation and mark them everywhere as the true-bred gentle- folks that they were. ' The maidens of the South, as may that he flew to his inkstand and wrote | that he had found one good man, but | Y be inferred from the above outline, of their mothers, are more shielded from them and lived in anguish ever after, the world than Northern girls, and are}. , less independent. If you see a bevy of Old Solomon must have had an awful Southern school girls boisterous on the. Street or in public cars (something I have never seen), you may know tat they do not belong to the first families. ou may say that they do not accom- plish so much at their studies, and all that; but still the fact remains that there is much that is admirable in'their breeding and manners. If you hear a Southern lady speak you may know whether she belongs to the first fami- lies by her ronunciation of the word “about.” It cannot be expressed in types, nor is it easy for Northerners to master this Shibboleth of Southern re- finement.—Greensboro Patriot. Over on Dayton’s Bluff, is a school- house. The school is presided over by a very pretty and interesting young eat teacher, who is a great favorite with the juveniles entrusted to her care, and the boy scholars are constant- ft in a turmoil as to which shall have the privilege of escorting her home after the close of school. Last week one sa- gacious six-year-old man determined to be ahead of his competitors, and during the afternoon he raised his hand to at- tract the teacher's attention. When asked what he desired, he arose and, in a polite manner, asked the teacher if “he might have the pleasure of escorting her to her home after school.” The girls laughed, the boys looked cross, and the teacher accepted.—St. Paul's Globe.

Death of Gen. Hancock. Another great man has fallen before the death. (en. Hancock is no more. We copy from the Charlotte Observer the following brief sketch of his life; and for Ybrther particulars refer the reader to} another part of this paper . o@en. Hancock was born in Montgom- ery county, Pennsylvania, on Feb. 14th, 1824, and consequently lacked but five The Bell Telephone. Secretary Lamar having investigated the question involving the validity of the pateiit. rights in this ease, has pebliaieys his opinion, which is to the effect that the evidence of alledged fraud is of a nature not to be dismissed or ignored, and that the Government should institute a suit in the interest of the people for the thorough investigation of the case. The Depart- | ment of Justice can hardly fail to act on ‘the recommendation of the Secretary and proceed to the investigation. - oo OOO Aluminum. days of being 62 years of age. He entered West Point at the age of 16 years. He was a prominent actor in the war with Mexico, and distinguished himself at ee eapture of the city of Mexico, and also in the battles at Contreras, Cherubusco and Molino del Rey. In 1861, he was com- missioned Brigadier General of the Penn- nia Volunteers, erica afterwards rose to the rank of Colonel in the regulararmy. He was com- missioned Major General in November, 3968, after the battle of Chancellorsville, | and before the surrender at Appomattox, fhe wasin charge of the Army of the G@henandoah, numbering 100,000 men. After the close of hostilities, he was ged in command of the “Military Dis- @riet” of Louisiana and Texas, and in ®Wovember 1867, he issued his famous “Order Number 40.” Gen. Hancock was nominated for the Presidency by the Democratic convention in Cincinnati on June 24th, 1880, and the incidents of that memorable campaign which followed are still fresh in the minds of our people, He had previous to his nomination in 1880, been voted for twice for the Presidency, having Jacked but a few votes of receiving the nomination in 4868, and again in 1876. In his death, the Democracy loses a bright jewel from its crown, and the country at large an eminent eitizen and an incorruptible statesman.” —_—_- ot <a Martial Law in Seattle, Washington Territory. A most desperate mob broke out in the town of Seattle, Washington Territory, Tuesday, the China question being the cause, The police and public authorities were endeavoring to protect Chinese from the violence of the mob, which became so furious and aggressive that they were fired into, and one man killed and seyer- al wounded. This intensified the excite- ment. The Chinese were forgot in the fage for revenge. The Governor pro- claimed the town under martial law and ordered out the militia. He also tele- graphed to President Cleveland for aid, and troops were immediately ordered to march. At last accounts quiet had been measurably restored, but a fearful spirit prevailed and rumors of further violence kept up the arlam, ee ee The Torpedo. Great activity prevails in Europe in military circles to devise the most des- tructive implements for war purposes. It ig generally known that monster guns and iron clad ships have become quite common in foreign countries since the Confederate war, our own country doing so littlein that way itis believed that England, France, Germany, or almost any of the European States that pretends to haye a naval force, could come over and capture our coast citics in a little or no time. But our military authoritics have not been wholly idle. They have been testing and perfecting what is knownasthe“Sims” torpedo—a vessel that can be sent out from shore, or from a ship, under the wa- ter, and therefore sccure against the shot of an enemy, the distance of two miles, and thus approaching an enemy comeat him not very unlike the sword fish in at- tacking a whale, and deliyer a charge of dyyamite sufficient to blow aship into gmenta, Our military authorities have beemelated with this cute device by which theyexpected to protect our harbors, and play yankee tricks on the big guns and ships of any enemy that might presume to *pick a quarrel with us and want to Aght ; but in the progréssiye march of in- Ventions our American trick, it is feared, won’t count for much. Guns carrying shot and shell the enormous distance of 9, and even 11 miles, would be very ugly cust: for the “Sims” torpedo to get at, Ven with a ship. But that is not the worst: Thase people beyant the frog pond have made what fhey call a torpedo catch- er, The best speed of our “Sims” js 19 mil@#b hour, and it is managed and fired by which it drags out from shore, where itis connected with an electric battery. Phe catcher runs under the wa- ter also, and makes a speed of 23 miles an hour. It is claimed that it can easily slip béhind the “Sims,” cut her wire con- nectton, and leaye her helpless in the sea | This, it seems, is a case in which our good old Judge Cloud would say—Thar Row, The fact is, as the Scientific American very just remarks : At a time like this, however, wh dematid for effective torpedoes has sat ie genious mechanicians to work al] over the world, and unique systems come so fast that theyalmost treads upon the heels of the other, it would seem to be at least jnjudicious in the Government to decide upon the relative merits of and to adopt any particular system, because the next movement may bring forth a rival sys- tem def the favored one ineffective and t, ibe — If any one supposes that nothing new ean be@evised in the shape of a churn a gate@ae plow, a washing machine, a fone » stome, a table, a desk, a pig trough, or ma, thing else great or small, he ought to entific American for the cor- igporauce.

HENDER- SON’S RESOLUTIONS. Mr. Henderson’s resolution is growing in favor in Congress and is being fully en- dorsed by the people and press.of North Carolina. Below are given extracts from some of the State papers commendatory of the resolution : : ASHEBORO COURIER: The resolution recently introduced by Congressman Henderson in regard to the Internal Revenue system is regarded as the most sensible and practical method of dealing with the subject ever yet present- ed to Congress. The measure is said to have the support of Mr. Randall and other leading men and there is some like- lihood of its passing the House. Here is the resolution : WHEREAS, The internal revenue tax is a war tax, oppressivé and inquisi- torial, and ought to be abolished, there- fore : Resolved, By the House of Representa- tives, that a select committce be created for the Forty-ninth Congress, to be called “A Select Committee on Internal Rev- enue,’ to which shall be referred all bills and resolutions relating to the sub- ject of internal revenue, with full power to investigate the workings and details of the whole internal revenue system, and to report by bill or otherwise. GREENSBORO PATRIOT: (Cor.) Congressman Henderson proposes to raise &@ Committee on internal revenue. Mr. Henderson’s resolution was submitted to the North Carolina delegation before its introduction in the House and was heartily agreed to. Mr. Randall had a talk with Congressman Reid on the sub- ject and scope of the resolution and promised his hearty and active co-opera- tion. The purpose of the resolution is to call attention to the operation of the in- ternal revenue laws, their abuses and op- pressions. ‘The most effectual way to do it is by a thorough committee investiga- tion. The resolution will be pressed, and the opinion is eiftertained that it will re- sult in some practical and remedial legis- lation, if not in the abolition of the inter- nal revenue system, MONTGOMERY VIDETTE: Many Democrats, especially those who are acquainted with Mr. Henderson, who, as a legislator, it is well known, has a State reputation as an able, energetic and perserving worker, will hail this as good news. Lis abilities are already beygin- ning to be recognized at the national cap- itol, as evidence of which he has been placed on two of the important House committees,—the committee on ‘‘elec- tions” and “railroads and canals.’ We venture the belief that he has no peer as a worker in the House, and rejoice to sec that he has so promptly taken this inter- nal revenue matter in hand. The present abusive, tyranical system now doubtless has the worst enemy in its wake that has ever “tackled” it, and if the evil thing can be removed “it’s bound to go!” He is not the man to give in when his people's interests are involved. GOLDSBORO MESSENGER: On a recent bill-day the Hon. John S. Henderson, of the 7th Congressional Dis- trict, offered a very common sense resolu- tion in the Federal House of Representa- tives. It authorized the formation of a select committee of the House, to whom were to be referred all the various propo- sitions touching the internal revenue. Heretofore the difficulty has been to obtain consideration of measures to this nature. The Ways and Means Comumit- and similar subjects, has jurisdiction un- der the rules of the body. But the Ways and Means Comniittee, under a low tarifl administration of the business of the House, is constituted in such a manner as to make it almost impossible to procure at its hands the legislation desired in this and certain other States. In other words, the gentlemen who govern the delibera- tions of that great committee are im- pressed with the idea that to take off a tobacco, whisky or brandy tax is to put on additional duty upon blankets or some other absolute necessity of life. This does not follow as a matter of course, be- cause the duties can be so arranged on imports as to produce a larger revenue than at present, and thus do away with the necessity for taxing spirits and tobac- co at all,and also for the necessity of pay- ing exhorbitant rates for goods of home manufacture, We hope against hope that Mr. Hender- son’s resolution will be acted upon favor- ably. It is not likely, however, that any- thing will be done to reduce internal rey- enue taxes. And a correspondent to the Messenger says: The Representatives from the manufae- turing districts are specially interested in framing, introducing and promoting the passage of measures looking to moditicatious in the internal revenue laws, Some of these measures have heretofore been outlined. Yesterday Mr. Henderson introduced a resolution, the purpose of which was the formation of a select com- mittee of the House to take charge of all measures relating to the internal revenue. He hopes to get Mr. Randall and other leaders interested in the proposition, which he is disposed to think is of practi- cal value. He also introduced a bill to prevent the breaking up of stills. It enables the col- lector to store away apparatus that has been seized under the laws. At present a ruling of the Internal Revenue Bureau is understood to give the collector smal] discretion in the matter. But it is stated that Maj. Dowd has not exercised his powers harshly. This bill resembles some of those introduced last week, and is in- tended to give the collector the advantage of law. One of the practical measures of tariff reform for the introduction of which our Representatives at this session have been distinguished, is that of Mr. Henderson, introduced yesterday to repeal the special tax on the manufacture of stills. Another bill, by the same, several times intro- duced in other Congresses by others, was to authorize farmers to sell without paying tax leaf tobacco of their own raising. Mr. Henderson’s bill to repeal the law authorizing suits against revenue officers from the State courts to the Circuit Court of the United States was the basis of the report made by Mr. Hammond, ef Geor- gia, to-day amendatory of section 643 of the Revised Statutes. The following pro- vision is added to the section: ‘Provided that when any criminal prosecution shall be removed from a State court to a Unit- ed States court before a presentment bya grand jury, or indictment or information shall have been made and filed against the defendants in the State court, it shall be lawful for the State court to proceed in such case so far as to have such pre- sentment or indictment or information made and filed in said State court, and after the same is so made and filed the clerk of the United States court shall lissue a writ of certiorari to the State lcourt for like purposes and with like jeifect as if the case had been so removed after such presentment or indictment was made aud tiled in such State court.” The Dal pened to-do Hein tee, which has its hands full of the tariff se . Se oy ee ++ Fs STATESVILLE LANDMARK? Mr. Henderson, the representative of this district in Congress, hi introduced a bill to repeal section 643 of the Revised Statues of the United States, witich pro- vides for the removal of suits against eral courts. These removals have, in many ingtances, been the occasion of public scandal, and this proposed legislation is as proper now that the revenue officers are nearly all Democrats as it was when they were all Republicans. The bill ma not pass, a8 Congress is always very jeal- ous of the supposed rights of the United States officers and is very ready to throw its protection arourfd them; but it will at least call attention to an iniquitous pro- vision of the law. We observe that Mr. Hammond, from the judiciary committee of the Ifouse, has reported’ favorably a bill which is aimed in the same general direction and which, if it passes, will amend the section materially fer the better. That bill is as follows: Provided, however, That when any crim- inal prosecution shall be removed from a State court toa United States court be- fore a presentinent by a grand jury or in- dictment shall have been made and filed against the defendants in the State court it shall be lawful for the State courts to proceed in such case so far as to have such presentment or indictment made and filed in said State; and after the same is so made and filed the clerk of the United States court shall issue a writ of certiorari to the State court for like pur- poses and with like effect as if the case had been so removed aftersuch present- ment or indictment was made and filed in such State court. It has been held. by some, and action has been taken accordingly, that a re- movel may be had where naught had been done by the State authorities except the issuance of a warrant of arrest by some committing magistrate. Under the proviso, as above, the offered protection of the United States would attach only after formal and more serious charges of a crime. A correspondent in the same paper says: : The resolution offered in the House this week to appoint a committee on in- ternal revenue, Sy Hon. John S. Hender- son is of especial interest to your readers. Hon. Sam Randail says he will do his best to secure the passage of the resolu- tion. The commitiee ought to be formed and Mar. Henderson ought to be made chairman of it. It is the most practical way to deal with the subject and Mr. Henderson is full of energy. He says with reference to it: “My internal revenue resolution was in- tended to put the prograinme for the re- peal or substantial modification of the internal revenue system into practical shape. ‘The resolution will probably fail to pass, but it points out the only way in which the pernicious system can be’ de- stroyed. Aspecial committee must be allowed to take the matter in hand and to investigate the workings and details of the internal revenue and to report the result to Congress and to the country be- fore any reasonable hope can be enter- tained that such a system of oppressive taxation will be destroyed, Those of us Who are opposed to the internal rev- enue law meanto leave no stone unturn- ed and to relax no effort until it is either repealed outiright or such a modification of it is effected as will deprive the law of its present odious, arbitrary and oppres- sive features.” + Do The Lexington, Ky., Blue Grass Blade gives account of the mortal wounding of Mike Gormley by John Walsh, by pistol shot.

Lonpox, Feb.8. At 7 this evening all that part of ihe city in the neigh- borhood of the national Gallery, Carl- ton club and Reform elib is in the pos- session of mobs. Several fights have alrendy taken plece among the rioters and a furious mob is now marching through St. Janis street and Piceadil- ly, on its way to Hyde Park to hold a meeting. The nob is cursing the au- thorities, attackiig shops, sacking sa- loons, vetting crank and smashing windows. On its wax to Hyde Park the front of the nob made an effort to enter the war olice, but turned away when a sentinel at the entrance con- fronted the intrulers with his bayonet. Conspicuous among the Juildings at- tacked by the mob was that occupied by the Devonshire club and that oceu- pied as the resideuce of Arnold Morley, the newly appointed patronage secreta- ry. The police along the route to Hyde Park were brushal out of the way by the rioters as if they were men of straw. and many of the officers were terribly whipped for their interference. Feb. 8. The starving mechanics of London today held a mass meeting in Trafalgar square around the Nelson monument, and it resulted in a riot. The proceedings were opened with an assemblage of 10.000 men. The police were present in large numbers and they at once saw that the socialistic element of London greatly predominated in the crowd which was ae managed by well known socialists and extraordinary vig- ilance was ordered to preserve the peace at all hazards. A VERY GROSS OUTRAGE. St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 5. In east St- Louis last night, six railroad hands went into their shanty to eat supper. They gathered around a hot stove, when it exploded, and the men were enveloped in the flames and horribly burned. An investigation showed that an enemy of some of the men had fastened the door so as to prevent egress and had emptied a quantity of coal oil down the stove pipe, which led up through the low roof of the shanty. The men were unable to get out, but the appearance of the flames and their cries brought assistance from the outside, The door was burst open and the men dragged out and roll- ed in the snow. The flesh peeled off their faces, arms and bodies in strips, and their sufferings are frightful. It is not known yet, whether any will die, but all are in a critical conditjon. 3 A Number revenue Officers from the State to the Fed- Gn smotice’ Maleus tha Beusis te € ay : % ~ on a A HITCH IN TRE saR- FRANCISCO _APPRO- PRIATION—THE EDUCATIONAL BILL— OTHER MATTERS IN COgeRuss. 7, WasHIneton, D.

Stanford replied that San Francisco paid from $100,- 000 to $500,000 a year into the public treas- ury. That its post office building was an old, tumble down affair and is insufficient and insecure, and that San Francisco was| entitled toa building that would accom. modate the business of the cify and the Pacific coast. Riddleberger characterized and con- demned the reports of the public buildings committee as another “River and Harbor” scheme, by which each of the Senators’ sel- fishness in the interest of his State was ap- pealed to, and so general consent for those measures bas been secured. Morrill defended the committee, saying it had carefully examined each case, and had found that the buildings were neces- sary, and that Virgiuia had not been eg- lected, The bill was passed at 2 o’clock. The San Francisco bill was displaced by the education bill, Blair took the floor aud bricfly explained the provisions of the bill. It would appropriate for the first year, he said, 7 miliign, second Year 10 million, third vear 15 million fourth year 13 mil- lion, tifth year 11 million, sixth year 9 million, seventh year 7 million, eighth year 9 million. The money was to be divided among the Stutcs and Territories in that. proportion which the whole number of “persons in each State or Territory, who being over teu years of age and unable to lead or write, bear to the whole number of such persons in the United States.” No State or Territory should participate in the benefits of the bill, that did not pro- vide a frce common school system; but separate schools for white and colored children should not be considered a viola- tion of this condition, —_——-+aa-—___—_ Large Fire.

Tt would seem to be a truth applicable by all, }and especially by professors of the healing art, symptoms, should be the chiefaim of medication. Yet in how many instances do we sec this truth admitted in theory. ignored in practice. The reason that Hosfetter’s Stomach Bitters is suc- cessful in so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at- tributable to the fact that it isa medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various, maladies to which it is adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheuma- tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it, it goes to the -fountain head. It is really, not nominally, a radical remedy, and it cudows the system with an amount of vigor which is its best protection against dis- ease.

A correspondent of ‘Good Cheer” gives an amusing illustration of “ped- dlers morality” in China: He was sitting with some brother- officers of the United States ship “Dash,” in front of the English hotel in Batavis, Java, and was :fpproached by a forlorn-looking Chioaman, who had a sword-cane in ie hand. “Want buy?” said he, bowing pro- foundly to the group. ‘The others paid no attentlon to him, but I, being some- what inexperienced in the ways of the “childlike and bland,” took pity on him and asked him his price. “Six dollah,” said he. “Six dollars!” I exclaimed. too much.” “Velly fine sword-cane.

Still I was firm in my belief that I could a a sword-cane for much less,. if I really needed one, and declared that I would not pay four dallars. “Tlee dollah? Two dollah? One dol- lah?” groaned the beggar. Then, as I shook my head, in obe- dience to a stealthy wink from a lieu- tenant sitting near and watching the progress of the trade, the fellow begun to cry, “No cathee chow- chow two, tlee day! Velly hungly! Die! No catchee chow-chow, die! Fifty cent?” 1 relented, and agreed to buy it for fifty cents. But an investigation of my purse showed nothing but a ten- dollar gold-piece. “I can’t take it after all,” said I re- gretfully. Imagine my amazement when, after one keen glance at my “eagle,” the Chinaman dived down te sleeve and brought out a handful of silver, counted nine dollars and fifty cents out of the pile, took my es handed me the cane and turned away with a placid smile “That's ter of my companions !

The army Was unpaid and the credit of the coun- 3 A metal dol- lar which consisted of silver (because eold was almost unknown) had its value regulated by the laws of the sev- eral States. Washington had two great objects in view; the first, to unite ura National Government the States; and the second to provide a policy by which the credit of the young republie which had come into exist- ence for 3,000 years) should be equal to the credit of any other government on the face of the earth. ‘Lo this end he sought the views of Thomas Jefferson, the author of our Declaration of Inde- pendence; of James Madison, the father of our Constitution; of Alexander Ham- ilton, who had been his constant aid and counsellor during the — revolu- tionary period; and of other true and tired men with whom Washington, with rare sagacity, had surrounded himself. ‘These were the main objects that in- spived the adoption of the tederal Con- stitution. [n 1702, among the first acts pissed by Congress was one “establishing the mint and regulating the coins of the United States, providing tor the coin- | age of gold and silver bullion upon | precisely the same terms, viz: “Section 14. Phat it shall be lawful for any person or persons to bring to the said mint gold and silver bullion in order to their being cuined, and that the bullion so brought shall be there assayed and coined as speedily as may be after re- ceipt thereof, and that free of expense to the person or persons by whom the same shall have been brought.” Thus carefully did our fathers provide in ac- jtional debt and reduction of national interest. In 1873, without the wish or knowl- edge of the people of the United States, silver was practically demonetized. This was done by a trick of legislation and revision, 1873, when passed, was not read, except -by its title; in no section of the act ‘was it specially pointed out or intimat- ed that the effect would be to change 'the standard of values from gold and silver to gold alone. But in June, | 1874, when Congress enacted as a code of laws what are called “The Revised ‘Statutes of the United States,” there | wus inserted a section which had no ;sunction in any existing law of Con- It stands as section 8586, and “The silver com of \ ¢ } | \ | | | | | \ gress. reads as follows: the United States shall be legal tender | vat their nominal value for any amount not exceeding five dollars in any one payment.

Refusal by the Secretary of the Treasury to purchase and coin the maximun amount prescribed by the provisions of the act, was supplemented by his refusal to settle clearing-house balances, and Government obbgations without discrimination in gold and sil- ver, or their representatives in certill- cates; and thus the will of the people has been thwarted, and the laws of the United States, have been prac- tically nullitied by only partial exe- cation, Yherefore. believing that the struc- ture vf this Government rests upon the people; that the products of its soil, and its manufactures, with the labor of its masses, form its wealth and permanent foundations; and knowing that hasty, ill-considered and unwise legislation has caused disturbances, Uneerlanity. and contraction of values and money, whereby agricultural pursuits and manufacturing interests are depressed: trade and commerce are languishing. or stagnant; labor is unemployed or unpaid; all American industries have been cramped, and business las been generally paralyzed, while the partial demonetization of silver has ciated, and is constantly enhancing the value of nates, bonds, mortgages and other fixed capital; and believing in the same free and equal coinage of gold anc silver, about which Washington, Jef- terson, and Hamilton were so solici- Lious : VAS Vee street appre- the national commitiee of th: Jimetalic Coinage Association, asseni- bled at the city of Washington, demand on the part of Congress, First.

And there has not been an hour since 1785, one hundred years ago, when these silver dollars were not a full legal tender for all ob- igations. Indeed, it could not have been otherwise; for from 1785 to 1849, a period of sixty four years, silver dol- Jars were the only dollars in existence. There is not a banker or bond holder in New York or anywhere else who ever saw a gold dollar till 1849, and there are probably 30,000,000 of the people of this country who never saw one at any time. And yet people are told that they are dishonest if they insist on paying the “enormous aggregate” of debts they “owe the Mast’ in these original stand- ard dollars and lawful silver coins. They would violate no law in doing this, nor would they violate any moral obligation. But the creditors do not like silver. Gold is worth 20 per cent. more, and, of course, they would rather have it; and because the West and South. the debtor regions, claim their lawful option, they are charged with seeking to defraud the creditor class of one-fifth their honest dues. In point of fact, the ease is just the reverse. The silver dollar is’ the real par and gold is 20 per cent. premium, because it has become comparatively scarce; and when the creditor class de- mand gold for the $6,000,000,000 ag- gregate indebtedness of the country, they are simply demanding 20 per cent., or $1.200,000,000 more than they are justly entitled to. All the National debt. ninetcen- tweentieths of the State, county and city debts of the West and South, and three-fourths of the railroad debts were incurred when the currency (green- acks and National Bank notes) was 10 to 80 per cent. below the value of gold and silver too. By the resump- tion of specie payment in 1879, and the con-equent appreciation of currency to the par of silver, these debts were in- creased 10 to 30 per cent.; and as if this were not enough to satisfy the debtor classes, they now demand another in- crease of 20 per cent. by having their claims paid im gold.— St. Louis Repub- rea. a Cogitaticns on the Top Rail.

The world’s supply of mitrate of soda and guano has been obtained from the arid rainless west coast regions of South America. Along the southern coast of Peru are a serics of rocky, desolate islands on which no rain ever falis and only the gentlest breezes sweep. There are at present, as there have been for centuries, myriads of sec-birds along the coast. and they, with thousands of sea lions, live, breed and die upon these islands. Guaro is a mixture of the excrement of these seals and birds, the decomposed bodies of both and the bones of the fishes which have been their food. (hese deposits have been aceumu- ating for centur.es and in many places are hundreds of feet deep, hakei into a solid mass by the tropical sun. These masses of guano were worked by the Peruvian Government from 1846, when their value as fertilizers b-came under- stood, up to the war with Chili in 1880. The annual shipments to Europe and the United States amounted to millions of tons, valued at between $20,000,000 and $30,000,000, all above the expense of working being clear profit. This should have enriched Peru, but it mere- y enriched her governing classes. , During the war the Chilians seized the | islands and annexed them to Chili. , There have been no exports of guano making preparations to resume the the market again next year.—Boston Commercial Bulletin. +o Stepping Stones to Success.

The Commissioners appointed by the President under the provisions of section 3547 of the Revised Statutes of the United States met, in conformity there- with, at the mint in Philadelphia, on the 10th inst., for the purpose of making the annual trial of the coins reserved at the several coinage mints in the United States during 1885. The Commission was com- posed of the following gentlemen: Hon. Isham G. Harris, United States Senate; Hon. James B. McCreary, House of Representatives; Thomas k. Bruner, Salisbury, N. C.; Prof. T. C. Chamberlin, Beloit, Wis.; Prof. Charles F. Chandler, Columbia College, New York; Prof. John A. Church, Prescott, Ariz.; Walter R. Devereaux, Aspen, Col.; H. L. Dodge, San Francisco, Prof. Thomas M.

Mallet, Universit, of Virginia, Charlottesville; Henry T. Martin, Albany, N. Y.; Prof. Ira Remsen, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore. The ex-officio members were Hon. William Butler, Judge United States District Court, Philadelphia; Hon. H. W. Cannon, comptroller of the cur- rency; H. G. Torrey, assayer, United States Assay Office, New York. Judge Butler presided, and immediately began work by appointing three com- mittees; one each on Counting, Weighing and Assaying. The work of the first committee was to open and count in the presence of the Commission, the coins reserved and for- warded from the several mints in the United States, and to distribute coins from the several packages to the committees on weighing and assaying. It was the duty of the committec on weighing to weigh the collectively, and by the single piece. The piles of coin to the one-thousandth of an ounce, and the sing!e pieces to the coins eighth of a grain; and to note the results with a special reference as to any that might be found without the equal limits of weight. It was the duty of the committee on assaying to have a portion of the reserved coins melted into ingots, and from these to take test-samples for assay. * The law requires the standard cold of the United States to be so constituted that in 1000 parts by weight 900 shall be of pure gold, and 100 of an alloy of cop- per and silver. The process of assay re- quired the removal of beth these metals, and two separate operations were neces- sary. pure silver and 100 parts of copper. The process of assay required that the exact proportion of silver ina given weight of the compound be ascertained. This was deli- cate work, but in was it the hands of the best experts in the country. The review of the work of the mints Was satisfactory, not a coin was found to be without the limits of deviation allowed by law. When it is remembered that the most minute error in any of the details of coinage will result in changing propor- is simply marvelous.

It.is hardly possible that any of the press of the State could have been bought by even so wealthy a corporation as the Associated Fertilizer Manufacturers, yet such a thing might be possible. Money will do wonders, no denying that, yet the! WATCHMAN will not believe that the press has been tampered with in this par- ticular, until it is clearly shown to the contrary. But this correspondent goes on and says some vely pointed things, which are commended to the attention of the farmer. He continues: Before its establishment we paid $45 per ton for an ammoniated fertilizer and $35 per ton for acid phosphate or super- phosphate of lime. Then we knew noth- ing about the value of the article pur- chased, often with fear and trembling, but with the hope that the manufacturer was honest and was giving fair goods. And we do know that general dissatisfac- tion existed from its uncertainty. Then many brands were sold in the State. One year a prominent brand would give satis- faction and letters of praise would come pouring into the owners. The next year these letters would be published andscat- tered abroad and the brand would be bought again by the same parties and many others, and the buyers would find themselves victimized, and thus it went on from year to year until the legislature established the Bureau, when a mighty change took place and the fertilizer brands of many makers were taken out of the market, and only those retained whose makers were willing to try their fortunes by honest dealings in the future. The growth of consumption steadily in- creased and farmers were better satistied. They were getting an honest article. The result: was that cotton was raised higher up in the foot hills of the mountains than increased enormously. At the same time the prices of fertilizers steadily declined until powammoniated guano can be bought from $30 to $35 and an acid phosphate {rom $20 to $25. There was sold last year in the State 90,000 tons, which at $10 per ton would be a saving to the farmers of nine hundred thousand dollars. But I must conclude. A few years ago fertilizers were adul- terated with leather, hair and horn to re- present so much ammonia, and while the article contained it the fertilizer was worthless because the ammonia was in an insoluble condition and likely to remain so for years, doing no good until decom- position occurred. Later, Kainit and Peruvian Guano were adulterated and the Experiment Station exposed it. Par- ties were claiming that sillea was valua- ble in fertilizers and were selling it at $ cis. per pound. The station will inform you that the bulk of all soils is composed of silica. If that was the case an acre of ordinary sandy soil taken to the depth of one foot would be worth $288.000. But the manufacturer was going right along claiming it as valuable to the farmer, and people, in their ignorance upon the sub- ject, bought it, mortgaged their crops for it, got uo good from it and yet had to pay for it. = oP ose Co-Metailism. Under this head, a correspondent of the Chicago Mining Review, las some in- teresting things to say. He of the! opinion that gold and silver should be united and equal in purchashing power and in the liguidation of all obligations, In treating the | is either personal or State. subject he takes up the ideas of Nicholas Veeder, who has written a work on co- metallism, and applies them to anew co- metallism eoin, as follows: In pursuance of such new idea, I propose a new conedallie dollar, the essential na— ture of which is that it shall contain one half in value in gold and one half in silver, The present standard gold and silver dol- lars exist in Inrge amounts, and, all things considered, will remain as permanently equitable in their relations to cach other as any other probable standard, and I sug gest them as a basis for the new dollar in order to avoid needless trouble and expense and to secure casy and harmonious transi- tion trom the old to the new. “The present gold dollar weighs 25 8-10 erains, and the silver dollar weighs 412% erains. ‘The proposed new ideal dollar would be composed of 129-10) grains of standard gold and 2064 erains of standard silver-—it) would bea silver-gold dollar, and would coutain one hundred silver-gold eents. “The new coin which I have invented, and the adoption of which I propose consists of an outer disk of stiver of the value ot 50c., resembling a coin witha hole throuch its center. In this hole or centre is fitted a disk of gold, also of the value of 30c. The gold is held in place by the millings of the silver lapping over the gold and the compression incident to Coinage. There isa double depression where the gold is, and the latter is too thin to admit of alteration, It may also be said for this coin, thut the abrasion comes on the cheap- er metal, the gold being protected by be- ing arecess. In size it would be only a trifle thicker than the present half dollar, and would be easily distinguished in the pocket by the central depression, and when brousht to view the eye would readily catch the central color as well as the spe- cial legends and device, The union of the two. colors m one coin will also give it an attractive appearance and gratify an artis- tic taste. “The cometallic half dollar would be about the size of a silver quarter, and the cometallic quarter would somewhat exceed the size of the silver dime, but the senses of feeling and sight would warrant the un- restricted mingling in the pocket of all de- nominrtions of silver and cometal coins. For tue highest convenicnce, and to the satisfaction of all needs, I would commend only the cometallic dear, balf dollar and quarter, because a two dollar coin—which would be atritle thicker than our present silver dollar—would not be necdcd, and a dollars coin of higher value than two would be too large and cumbersome for veneral use, while a coin smaller than the silver dime would be too small for con- venience, “The three cometallic coins— dollars, halves and quarters—being only about one half in size of the corresponding silver coins, We would be enabled to carry in the pocket twice as much value in cometallic sperie as in the latter coins, and the pock- et use of specie could be greatly increased without becoming burdensome. —__ ~~ The WatrcuMaNn acknowledges with “Shanks the receipt of valuable public docu- ments from Hon.

Senator Teller presented elaborate tables showing the coin circulation of the world, from which it appeared that the silver circulation of Great Britain was $2.60 per head of population, Ger- man Mo $4.67 per head, tite nited States, $4.88 per head and France, $15.79 per head. Thestotal coinage of the world, he said, had been estimated as follows: Silver $2,776,000,000, gold $3,292,000-, 000. But gold and silver had been found insufficient to carry on the busi- ness of the world and all nations had resorted to paper currency based on these metals. The whole amount of paper money issued had been $3,973,- 00,000, which was more than the whole amount of either gold or silver. If, then, gold and silver combined had been found insufficient in quantity to carry on the world’s trade, what reason was there for supposing that gold alone would be sufficient? — IT WHO ARE COMPOSTING To call on the undersigned before buying elsewhere. ] have a line of PHOSPHATE Varying in price from $10.00 to $25.00 per ton.

Does it not occur to the business men of town that if they desire to enlarge their business, increase interest in them- selyes and produce quick returns that they should advertise? It is a practical question for every man engaged in any sort of business here, and as the WATCH- MAN is interested in the growth, prosper- ity, health and happiness of the people of Salisbury and Rowan in particular, and of the State in general, it very naturally looks over the field and wonders why this essential adjunct to successful busi- ness is so generally neglected. There are exceptions, of course, but it is not of those that mention need be made. It is the broad neglect which attracts the /attention of those who wish to see all of the interests of the town grow. A stran- ger looking over the town papers would never imagine that the place had a popu- lation of more than three thousand souls; more than fifty merchantile houses; two banks; three tobacco warehouses; several tobacco factories; a large number of good carpenters and builders; a large number of professional men, the equal of any in the State; and hundreds of good people engaged in various pur- such would hardly be the suppo- sition of an outsider, yet it is true.

The generous people of Salisbury have again contributed to the funds of the negro college, Zion Westley Institute, situated here. ._ It may be a very wise thing, but of one thing there can be no doubt, it is returning good for evil. In the face of Street’s recent traducing let- ters it isa magnanimous deed and shows how readily our people forget and for- give. Who can point the finger of accu- sation hitherward and say ungenerous haters of the negro! No man can do it and say truth. Do our people realize the amount they give in this way of dona- tions, tax, &c., for the purpose of educa- ting the negro, and do they find adequate results in the improvement of the negro? This is an important matter and the WATCHMAN offers one of its short col- umns to some man who has studied this question and who will treat the subject briefly, fairly and squarely. The wisdom of the donation is not questioned from a sordid or business standpoint, no! no! it is doubtless wisely spent. But when the writer who may accept the invitation ex- tended above, undertakes to expound this question of negro education, or rather the effect education has on the negro as a worker, as a producer, and as a citizen, he is invited to deal in statis- tics. Solid facts, you know. The obser- vation of the writer is limited, but as far as it goes he is unable to point out a sin- gle farmer, carpenter, wood chopper, stone cutter or gardner who has been “educated.” They espouse none of these honorable methods of gaining a living, put on the contrary rush for the highest places in society, to the pulpit, the bar, teacher’s desk and et cetera. The only negroes following any of the pursuits named are of the old school—slave born —who got a practical education &nder a good master. They are to-day the best, most honest and useful of their race. These reflections naturally came to the surfacewhen it was stated that the people of Salisbury had given liberally again to the cause of negro education. It was commendable and the WATCHMAN Wishes the negro all possible success attainable ; yet the vanishing glory of a cotton mill, which was nearly given her people still is visible in the distance, and a free bridge across the surging, laughing waters of the Yadkin is yet within reach.

The Railway Supplies’ Journal, publish- ed in London, comes to the WATCHMAN office, and in the February issue contains along article on our former townsman’s manufactory of desiccated cocoanut, from which the following is taken : It used to excite our juvenile wonder when we were informed as to the many uses to which the palm was applied by Oriental nations. That one single tree should in its various parts have so many virtues, and be capable of so many applications was almost incredible. But years haye passed away since then, and such wonders have ceased to astonish. Were it not so the modern uses of the cocoanut would make us open our eyes. At one time a cocoanut was a cocoanut and nothing more. When its milk had been extracted, and its snow white kernel eaten, there was an end of it, except as occasionally the shell was trans— formed into a child’s toy or a drinking cup. But now. these simple uses are almost too rude and elementary to be mentioned at all. This versatile fruit performs for us so many services, and has, by the ingenuity of modern c'vilization, been turned to such varied account, that very few, even amongst intelligent and educatec people, would like to be compelled on the instant to pass an examination onthe uses of the cocoanut. One of the forms in which it is most pleas antly utilized is that manufactured by Messrs. Linton, Hubbard and Co., 18 and 19, Red Lion-square, London, W.C., whose “Desiceated Cocoanut” (*Noix de Coco” Brand) is so largely used in manufacturing and culinary purposes, The Cocoanut Bis- cuits, which are so delicious, and have come into such great popularity within re- cent years, are made of this delicate and palatable preparation; all well known bis- cuit firms use large quantities of Ihinton’s Desiccated Cocoanut. It is also largely em- ployed by chocolate manufacturers, and by confectioners generally in the produc— tion of those charming sweectmeats which have displaced to so great an extent the old-fashioned lozenges and sugar plums that used to be the delight of our children, consisting of everything needful on a farm from a Plow Point Bolt, up.

Miller was the prime mover in bringing it to light, and he now has as- sociated with him Mr. 8. R. Harrison and Mr. Geo. Smith. The property, consist- ing of 120 acres, is located near the old Hatter Shops, in this county. The vein is 18 inches wide, and traceable for sever- al hundred yards. The ore a ferruginous quartz, carrying free gold in quantities easily visible to the natural eye, anda small percentage of the sulphurets of iron. This information is furnished by Mr. Harrison, who has been more or less associated with mining for. twenty years. He is very sanguine as to the results, When this property is equipped with ma- chinery and worked with economy hand- some returns should reward the enter- prise. ee -—_—_~ -@ +» » - —___ -___— N. C. Ores at the National Museum. Many of those interested in mining in this State, and many others who takea general interest in minerals will be sur- prised to learn that in the National Mu- seum Collection of standard ores, but very few specimens are shown from this State. Those shown are the most ordin- ary and embrace pyrite, chalcopyrite, and iron ores only. None of the specimens are larger than a man’s fist. This should not be so. The specimens in the Nation- al Museuin are all donated by the people the States. Will not the owners or superintendents donate at least a good of average specimen of ore from their mines for the purpose of making a creditable show in the National Collection? Thase who desire to send specimens of mineral vofany kind to the Museum, may leave them at the WATCHMAN office. They will be forward by the mining editor to the curator of the division to which they belong, without cost to the donor. This is an important matter, and should have a ready response from all interested in the mineral development of the State. The writer has just visted that institution and was pained to note the barren dis- play from this State. Lay aside a good picee of ore and bring it with you to Sal- isbury next time you come, and he will see that it goes to the museum. ee The Herring Mine. This property in Randolph county has jnever been opened or worked upon any intelligent mining plan, but it has been worked wherever any pay ore has been found.. Now the place presents a ragged appearance ; a lot of holes and open cuts. The ore is a low grade, running from 50 cents to 5 dollars to the ton. The property is owned by a gentleman in New York, Who is not amining man. The mine is equipped with a good mill house; all neces- sary machinery for working 40 to 50 tons of ore each 24 hours. The mine could be made to pay if worked intelligently. The difliculty with the Herring Company has been that they have never had an intelli- gent superintendent, 7. e. one who knew anything about the treatment of ore or of inining. Some $40,000 have been expended in machinery anda rail road to or near the property, and this before any inves- tigation of the mine was made. The usual failure came, of course, and the mine was condemned as a failure before it had been opened. If this amount had been judi- ciously spent in opening and working the mine it would have been on a paying basis today. Mr. A. B. Trippler, the inventor of the “Trippler Amalgamator’? went on the property ashort time since for the pur- pose of testing his machine. He has sunk a small prospecting shaft, 6x8 feet, toa depth of 85 feet, and he has carefully tested the ore as depth was attained and he found that it increased in value as he went down. At the bottom of this shaft he has started a drift 8 feet wide ona good body of ore. He runten tons of this ore through his amalgamator, and clean- ed up 27 dwts. of gold, 9.20 fine. This ore will probably assay as much as $2,60 tothe ton. It cost about 80 cents to the ton to work it, which cost could be redu- ced to 50 cents by putting upa_ horse whim or steam hoisting machinery. This demonstrates clearly that even this very low grade of ore can be made to pay a handsome profit. Mr. Trippler who kindly furnishes this information says the property is for sale, at figures which are remarkably low, as the present owner is not a mining man. Here is an opportunity for an honest in- yestment which will return a handsome and regular profit. — —— LIST OF LETTERS. List of letters remaining in post office at Salisbury, N.

The examination which has been going on at the Graded school has been eom- pleted, after continuing for. seven days. The report has been handed in to the committee. The concluding portion of the report is as follows: On the whole then, the examination shows that good honest work is being done in every department of the school and that there is no fooling in any room. Beside the very few things suggested I know of no improvements we can make. As already stated I left every room with increased respect for teacher and pupils. When we consider that educators have pretty well determined that the best re- sult cannot be attained when a teacher has more than one grade or an average attendance of more than thirty-five, and that there is not one of our teachers who has only one grade and that the average attendance in each room is about 42, the rgsult attained reflects no little credit on both teacher and pupils. The greatest trouble about the school is irregularity of attendance on the part of many pupils. Last month for exam- ple 540 pupils attended first and last and yet the average attendance was only 142. We have determined and rightly deter- mined that when a parent excuse the ab- sence of his child there shall be no ques- tioning of his authority or inquiry into his reasons. No regulation of ours can remedy the evil, but perhaps an appeal to the parents can do some good. For after making all allowance for sickness and the fear of it, bad weather, and that the services of the children are needed at home, it is evident that a considerable percentage of the absences are caused by indifference on the part of the parents or indulgence to the children. Now beside the injury done the children an immense injury is done the school. You go into a room and find 40 pupils some 5 or 6 of whom have just returned after being ab- sent, some one day, some more, some one week, some more. They are all behind their class. The teacher cannot forma new class for them, nor would we permit it, nor indeed would one class serve, there would have to be three or four, and soon every room would have twenty classes in it, and the teacher would have only three minutes to devote to each. They must go on Yet the explaining that these six or seven re- quire to try and enable them to catch up with those that are going on consumes much of the time that belongs to the other 35 and they are kept back. Every pupil that returns after an absence isa with the grade. brake which checks the progress of the grade. The work is heavy enougn on every teacher without this. Surely it isa case in which we should have the sym- pathy and help of every parent and well wisher of the School. The committee also resolved that we offer a diploma to those of the highest erade who pass a searching examination at the end of the term on the studies of the Common School course. ‘fhat to ob- tain this diploma a pupil must not fall below 60 on any branch and average at least 75 on all, that those who attain an average of $5 and upwards have marked on their diploma that they have graduat- | ed with honor, and that those who attain | an average of 95 and upwards have marked that they have graduated with very great honor, that the names of all the graduates be published officially in the town papers with these marks ap- pended and a star be put before the names of those graduating with very great honor. Also that former pupils of the school who shall attend for at least two months between now and examina- shall allowed to on the same terms as those now in the} School. Very Respectfully, KF. J.

There have been many rumors during the week of impending Cabinet changes, ‘These rumors are periodic and usually unfounded. The Treasury and Departmert of Justice are the offices particularly referred to, and in the case of the latter, gossip goes so far as to designate the Attorney—General’s suc- cessor. There has been more quiet pressure brought to bear upon the Administration to effect Mr. Garland’s removal than the public is aware of. But the President keeps his own counsel, and he is quoted as having intimated to an offcious friend, alter patiently listening to his suggestion on this subject, that when he desired ad- vice touching his own business, he would ask for it. Besides, Mr. Garland is a proud man, and would not be willing to remain in his present position a day were he not assured of the President’s fullest conti- dence. As tor the Secretary of the Treasury, should he conclude to retire it conld scarcely be from dissatisfaction with his position or with the President, or for any dissatisfaction on the part of the President with bim, as they have worked in perfect accord together for a longer period than this Presidential term. Mr. Manning hag often said, however, that he only entered the Cabinet to assist the President in in- augurating certain reforms. This being done, he bad no further object in remaining. He could not desire to make money while holding so important a place as that of the Secretary of the Treasury, and he has often spoken of a settled purpose to retire from public life. During the present week, Education will be the sulbject of debate in the Senate and the Fjtz Join Porter case will be again dragged through the House. Represcnta- tive Swinburne, of New Yo.k, in a speech on the Porter bill, bore t:stimony, from personal observation, to the jealousies which existed among the officers of the Armyand said jealously it seemed to him to be one of the tine arts taught at West Point. The findings of the Court martial in the case of General Porter, were, he thought, largely the result of jealousy. He waa fallowed by Mr. Houk, of Tennessce, who said Porter was guilty of treachery, and ought to have been shot, The discussions which the Blair Edu- cational bill elicited in the Scnate during the last Congress are likely to be repeated in this. The subject was cxlaustively \Is this Mrs. Gordon’s baby? i considered then, ‘and little that is new can| be said. upon it now. = ‘Senator Morgan of Alabama, is still in the fore front of the epposition with a clearer-fiell before him now that Mr. Gar- land is not there to confate him. He. still argues that the bill canvot find a feot hold in the Constitution, and that it is au un- warrantable invasion of the States’ rights. He does uot believe that. the whole country should be taxed for the benefit of localitics, and he protests that the Government has no more right to make appropriations for the public schools of a State than for its churches or dispensaries. The Senator said he knew many would repreach him for opposing a measure that seemed to be a great benefit to the people of Alabama but he prayed God he might not falter in giving obedience to the Con- stitution he had sworn to support. His answer to the enligtened people of his State would be that he preferred the spirit of truth, which dieth not, to the body of error even though crowned with jewels, for its bridal with death. In the course of these remarks, Senator George of Mississippi, asked-him if Calhoun had not voted for a certain measure. “I don’t know” replied the Senator from Ala, and with all respect for the memory of Mr. Calhoun, I don’t care. Mr. Calhoun voted on both sides of many questions, and voted sincerely every time. There were two brilliant events at the White House during the past week. The President’s third state dinner was held in honor ofthe Supreme Court, and the first card reception of the winter was given to the Diplomatic Corps, To this both Houses of Congress were invited, besides the officers of the Army and Navy, the Judi- ciary, and various other officials in Washington. The rain poured down in torrents, but it was a carriage reception, and no one attended who did not go in carriazes. Congress had been invited only throuch the papers, as it frequently has been of late years, on such occasions and a vumber of Senators were conspica- ous for their absence. One of them = re- marked that he would not attend even a caucus on such an announcement. He knew the President did not intend any slight, but he was not in favor of carrying Jeffersonian simplicity quite so far, ee “Just Like Its Pa.” From the Lynchburg News. There is a popular belief that ministers never “imagine vain things,’ but after reading the following incident related by the Salem Vimes- Register, we are constrained to believe otherwise: “Rey, A.J. Bowers, of South Carolina, who arrived Tuesday morning at the home of his father-in-law, Mr. J. R. C. Brown, Sr.,in this place, was the unsuspecting victim of a practical joke, perpetrated by the fun-loving inmates of the Brown. fam- ily. Mrs. Bowers, nce Miss Loulie Brown, together with little Miss Mary Leu Bowers, | have been absent from the Rev. Mr. Bow- ers for nearly three months, consequently he has not seen his baby since it was six wecks o!d. With the permission of Rev. Mrs. Gordon, whose babe is about the same age, the Browns determined to exchange babies for an hour, and deccive the Rev. Mr. Bowers with Mrs. Gordon's baby. The momentous hour arrived at last, and the parson cane in, greeted the family, and and turned to his darling babe, kissed it fondly, and remarked: ‘Bless the dear; she is exactly like me; yes, I see a: striking resemblance to my own little picture, taken when I was a babe. Oh yes, the child fa- vors me, I can sce that plain enough,’ ete. By this time the group assembled to wit- ness the scene, and the success of their joke so conyulsed them with laughter that Mr. Bowers began to suspect that something was wrong, took ona case of the ‘mean grins, and in visible excitement exclaimed, With one accord the whole group answered tyes! and they are laughing yet over® the Innocent fun they had at Mr. Bowers’ getting the babies mixed.” ——> <i> a A Dangerous Expericnce.

Last week we set forth in this col- umn the purposes and plans of the Ro- man Catholic church in this country in regard to the public schools. We showed from recent and authoritative utterances that they would not accept of any compromise 11 the matter of religions education, | but demanded exclusively denominational schools with ‘support from the Government. This | accords with the Roman Catholic posi- | tion in regard to Religion in all our Public Reformatory and Charitable In- ‘stitutions. They demand for this, not separate institutions. but that they have their own religious establishment within the precincts of all institutions which are supported by the Govern- ment. Nothing less than this is sought for by the “bill to secure freedom of worship,” which was vetoed by Gov- ernor Cornell, which was defeated in the last Legislature, and which is ad- voeated in the message of Governor Hill. We have so repeatedly exposed the real character of this proposal that it ought not to be necessary to add ano- ther word for information. But with every new year we add many to the number of our readers. Some of these may not be familiar with the actual issue, and may have heard only the pleas by which a bill is made possible in this day and country. Without repeating at length what has been so often said as to its general character, we will confine ourselves to some of the points which are urged in its behalf ina pamphlet signed by several Roman Cathehie citi- zens. ‘This pamphlet “explains and vindicates the merits, principles and ee . | practicability under the measure under | discussion, especially with reference to its enforcement in the House of Re- fuge, the central point of attack from the beginning of this campaign. Their ve:y first objection to the pre- sent arrangement is that “the system of worship in force in the House of Refuge is not *non-sectarian. ” Now observe the logic by which this is proved, and in it sec all the arrogance and intoler- anee which made Romanism a terror until its last temporal stronghold was captured by Victor Emmanual. Roman Catholic laymen in a pamphtet prepared with scrupulous regard to the proprieties, designed to conciliate the indifferent and opposed, tell us this: “To detine the word correctly, a sect consists of a body of persons who are cut off, often by their own acis, from the Uatholic church, and the visible Catholic church is composed of those who are organically connected with the Bishop of Rome, the successor of Peter, and, in religious matters, are subject to him. The Catholic church alone ts ‘non-sectarian. ” Ls it any wonder that wherever this relizion is, there is war ? This is the camel with which the gov- ernments of Hurope have been con- vulsel in getting it outside their doors, | admit the head when it comes pound- ing at onr Schoo!s and Reformatories. If we wish any worship at all in public instit tions, of course 1t must be “non- sectarian” and we’ are now assured by these toman Catholic gentlemen that the only “non-sectarian” worship is the worship of the Roman Cathelic church, especially the Mass, and the Sacra- ments celebrated by the priests. It is useloss and absurd to ergue with those every phase of reli sions worship except their own. But tor those who are not fannliar with the issae we reiterate, that the Roman Catholic demand is for an .exclusire sectarian establishment within the State Institutions. It says: “We have certain distinctive practices iwhich differentiate us from all others, */and we are not content with the com- imon ground accorded to every varicty | c . e AX | Of belief and worship: we refuse to be % | regarded as a sect and to be treated as a I8 THOROUGHLY EQUIPPED POR EVSAT VARISTY OF Hob Printing, FROM POSTERS @ big as a barn door down to most delicate APISTING iG ARDS.

We have votes enough even to compel your shameless politicians and dema- gouges to listen to our demand and to give us this privilege of entering where we will, setting up our own altars, and carrying on our work in our own way.” [f any other religious body were to make this same demand would we cp- pore it with the utmost vigor ? certainly would. For it is an utterly false and baseless plea which is in- volved in the claim to “freedom of worship.” and kind. Not one of them enn have freedom to make use of our State funds and State machinery to advance its own sectarian interests, to secure the educition of its adherents qi its own peculiar tenets. But when the demand | for freedom to do all this comes trom ) the one sect in Christendom vhich has been the deadiy foe of religious | | j ever liberty, winch by the two most conspic- | uous utterances of its two latest Popes has dogmatically declared its unending hostility to the very idea of religious equality, which in our own day has for- cibly suppressed all religious worship fexcepe its own, until the State smote it | to the ground and liberated the people of its capital, then there is a feeling of joutraged patience which mingles with our opposition and makes us antazed at the insolence «f the demand. There is only one other point in this ‘pamphlet which may seem to require attention, and that is, the claim that | the system of separate religious instrac- ition and rites has been adopted eise- jwhere and has proved satistactory. | Prisons, Hospitals, Almshouses and other public institutions in different | parts of the country are mentioned in |which there are special privileges or | provision for Roman Catholic immates. | (Tt is arged that the managers of the | House = Refuge are Lehind the age in inot regulating their work in the seme ae To this itis replied aguin ret Chabad egain, that many of these ‘astitations! and character of matuied beef The | and of which we are now refusing to | who have nothing but contempt for | all | We | All freedom is limited, and | here we limit the freedom of all eccle-! siast'eal establishments of every name) —— nature totally differ- ent from the House of Refuge, and much that might be permissible in them would be difficult and injunous in other establishments. Many of the privileges mentioned are already grant- ed in the House of Refuge, where priests have precisely the same oppor- tunities as the ministers of all other denominations. But without entering into details in regard to the way im which different institutions are con- ducted, we maintain that this is not a matter which we will allow others to decide for us. If other States or coun- tries choose to give Romanism its own way in matters of education and goy- ernment, that is their own affair. Long since we have been told of cities where they have surrendered the public schools to the nuns and priests, and ‘that the plan worked beautifully. This, however, did not change our conviction that the plan was vicious, and: it has not as yet made the plan any more ac- ceptable to the country at large. On the contrary, every success of this kind in breaking down our national habits only increases the difficulty with which one day we must uproot and cast out the whole abomination. Within a week, the correspondent of the Evening Post, writing of the attitude of the pre- sent French Ministry, says: “While the word ‘anti-clerical’ will not be heard so often as of old, vigorous steps will be taken toward the completion of the triumph of State over church.” ''There should not be any necessity for such a triumph. — If the church would ‘mind her own business, and do the | work that is set before her in keeping iher children out of the Reformatories jand Prisons, she would not be so much tempted to invade these establishments with her massive machinery.

It is the day iwhen the balance is struck, and our ‘fate is heaven or hell; and by the man- ‘ner in which we walked in’ these stat- ‘utes, und kept these judgments, and did them, our destiny is determin- ved.

Ah! how solemn to think that there ‘is such a pen going in heaven, and en- ‘tering on the books of judement all we say or wish, all we think or do. Would to God we heard it! What a check! and what stimulus! Are we about to sin, how strong a curb! If slow to du- ty, how sharp aspur! What a motive to pray for the blood that blots out the guilty past, and for such grace as in time shall enable us to walk in God's statutes, to keep his judgments and do them. “Knowing, therefore, the ter- ror of the Lord, we persuade men.”-— Guthrie. ee Baby Beef. Considerable has been written re- cently characterizing all steers under three years old as producing meat hitle better than veal, and stigmatizing it as “baby beef.” To show how erroneous this idea is, a first prize was awarded at the late Fat Stock Cattle show at Chi- cago to Messrs. Elbert & Falls for the pure bred rown Short-horns sixteen months old steer, Cleveland. The com- mittee reporting on this class of ani- mals pronounced him to be “a perfect model for the block, with little, if. any ‘room for improvement. it would be dificult to imagine how the top, side and bettom lines could be made better for in¢losing a more compact and prof!- table carcass. ‘The steer was a marvel, and amore perfect outhne for a profi- table carcass has never been exinhited jat any previous show.’ Cleveland | weighed alive, 1,290 pounds. His gain from birth to slaughter was 2 60 Ibs. per day. Throughout the show, he was the most admired of all the entries on tue foor by all who critically examin- ed him. Ue netted, of dead meat on the block, the remarkable percentage of WO4. ‘The meat was solid at the fancy price of $10 per hundred pounds live ‘weight, amountimg to $129 for the steer. The general manager of the ho- ‘tel for which it was bought. says the meat gave the hest of satisfaction to his guests, thatit was not “veally” in ithe least, some had predicted it jworld be, but posse.scd all the flavor The as ™ vee |year than in any against him.

In addition to these ad-, vantages is the added gain of consider- able less risk from accidents, disease and death. Farmers will do well to carefully consider the above, and as soon as possible adopt breeds of domes- tic animals from which they can rea- lize these sure extra profits—Ruralt New Yorker. The Hillsboro Observer is resposible for the following: Mr, U. B. Cates, who lives near Cole’s store in this county, missed two of his hoys some time last year. After Christmas the hogs were discovered, shut up in an outhouse, where they had been fifty-four days without anything to eat or drink. The hogs were very thin when found but now are fat and healthy.

A young man was plying him with questions, to each of which he answered, “I don’t know.” ‘Why, Professor,” said the youngster, “I thought we came to the University for you to tell us what we didn’t know.” “Young man,” said Prof. Bledsoe, “you came here for me to tell you what I know, and that’s a ver, short story; to tell you what you dont know would be an endless undertak- ing.” To deny, as Peter did, is bad; but not to weep bitterly, as he did, when we have denied, is worse.— Payson.

The democratic party must wipe out the revenue and cut down the expenses of the govern- ment, and favoring the Bliar measure is not the way to doit. The money | question is the smallest part of the in- famous scheme. The invasion and possi- ble disruption of States rights and the tendency to centralization of power in ‘the general government is where the | greatest danger lies. | The Marshall Texas Herald But there is a constitutional question ‘involved in the bill, which will cause it ‘to meet with strong opposition in the House. It is not the simple question whether the State would not be large- ly benefited by receiving that amount of money, but is it consistent with true says: Demucratie principles of Republican government to thus recognize the pa- 'ternity of the Federal Government over the sovereign people of the States. | 'Phis is the opposition to the Blair bill | in its present shape, and it will defeat | the measure. | The Wilmington Star pomts out | some opposition to the measure in the Senate, as follows: In the course of the debate in’ the | Senate on Tuesday on the great Feder- al School Teaching in the States bill | two interesting facts were stated. The }able Senator Cohe mentioned the fact ‘that the great State of Texas had in convention assembled “denounced” the | Blair bill. Senator Hawley, of Con- necticut, mentioned that the State Board of Mdueation of his State be- lieved that the bill was “unwise.” There Was never a more unwise and danger- hous bill before the Congress—-one that | promises to lead to more disastrous and fur reaching results. Senator Maxey, of Texas, pointed out the only Consti- tutional way by which the Federal ‘Government could aid school teaching lin the States, and that was by distribu- itiny the proceeds of the pubhie Jands This Constitution- wmode will not suit the demands of | those who preter more devious and dangerous ways. Level headed views of the Monroe Linquire , aid xpress: | We are now told that the surplus ! | ae anon the States. which the official reports have been in- | forming us was lying idle in the vaults of the government treasury will be non lest when the outliy has been made | which Congress has ordered to be made in’ several directions. If this is the case. then we are no longer to be classi- tied among the champions of the Blair bill. Our position in advocacy of the measure involved as apart of its founda- tion that there was a supertlaous fund in the hands of the government treas- urer. We are,opposed to increasing our ltuxes in order to raise a fund for dis- among the states for the purpose. Since so many of our statesmen and valued contemporaries, notubly arnong them the Wilmington Star, think the measure would be not only unconsti- tional and undemoeratic but also tend to destrov the characteristies of — self- reliance and. self-respect of our peo- ple. we feel comfortable in view of the inevitable defeat of the bill. The old North State has been equal to greatly trying tasks in the past, aud we shall he very greatly surprised if she shall not be equal to the task of creditable educational progress in the future. In the matter of education, us well as oth- er thingsin the hyeht of the past, we shall expect, in other words, to see the old State shine. The Blair bill, we think is doomed to defeat and to it now we say farewell. The Louisville Courter Journal, Ken- tucky’s leading Democratic paper says: The point we make on the Blair bill us extended is that.if) Mr. Blair one year can Indicate the course of study as it relates to temperance, he may next year Insist that these Southern schools shall adopt certain text books on taxa- tion, on history. on evolution, and fi- nally that no school shall receive any Federal aid until it has abolished the color line. ‘The one course comes just us Clearly within the domain of Iederal legislation as the other, and no one who insists that there exists a constitution- al provision for such an appropriation ean point to any line in’ the Constitu- tion which would prevent Congress jrom marking out the course of study and determining what shall be the con- ditions precedent to such asaistance. Now in conclusion, let these few | paragraphs from the speech of Senator | Tnealls, of If the blush of shame does not erimson the reader's face it State pride is made of the wrong stuff.

One Year in Office THE GIANT FORCES WITH WHICH HE HAS HAD TO CONTEND—IHOW HE HAS STOOD THE FIRE. 14.—The ‘end of the first year of President (Cleveland's term of office is near at jhand. It has been a busy year and one | fraught with great consequences. The manifold ditficulties in the way of the first Democratic administration upon a return of the party to political power after a lapse of a quarter of a century. }It only comprehends results. Mr. Cleveland himself was a year ago an hunknown quantity. The country knew | what Governor Cleveland was; of what | President Cleveland would be it knew inothing. That it beheved in him and trusted him was evidenced by his elec- tion and installation as President. At the very threshold he was confronted by two facts: that a large portion of the Democratic party, composed of an- te-bellum material, expected him to re- sume administrative power where Buchanan left off; that a larger portion composed of the new Deniweracy, ex- pected him to establish his administra- tiononthe basis of reform. The first named element contained the old line politicians, the seconda new generation of voters. Long accustomed to facts of political legerdemain and inured fo falsehood, the politicians met the new administration with the assumption that ante-election promises were void and that now that professions of re- torm had served their turn they would be cast aside as useless, TAKING THE HONEST COURSE. The President had one of two cour- ses open to him: to violate his promises to the country and stultify Ins whole record by accepting this presumption as a fact. or risk the displeasure of this formidable wing of his party by driv- ing straight ahead and trusting to the results of a pure administration of public affairs for his vindication. He chose the latter and honorable course. As was anticipated at the first undica- tions of this determination, he Was threatened with the dismemberment of his party on the one hand and a united opposition of every corrupt element in the country on the other. duvery mangy political cur snapped at lus heels. Every spoilsman within and without hissed them on, and, too cowardly for open warfare, spat upon his shadow in the darkness. But the President, dominiting astrong Cabinet in hearty sympathy with bis honest efforts to wive the people good government first and take care of jis party afterwards, paid no heed to this partisan clamor nor turned aside from his great purpose. (iradually, day by day, he felt the ap- proval of the people was his, and it strenethened his hand to execute. The curs became tired of barking and re- tired into the obscurity of their ken- nels. The venom of the disappointed spoilsman dried up. DISPLAY OF CORRUPTIONISTS. The elements that viewed the grad- ual change and foresaw the tnumph of honest government with the greatest dismay were the elements that profit most by dishonest government. The corporations which had their founda- tion in and fraud held their charters by corruption, which had sprung from nothing to wealth and powet, which had the pubhe by the throat and wrung from its purse enor- mous dividends on millions of watered stock these did not want honest gov- ernment. Such elements of unbridled corporate pover had put forth every encrgy to secure in perpetumty the political authority of the party under whose administration they had been iborn, reared and made fat. They had iformed a syndicate of wealth to put a hyaan in the presidential chair who was W asuineton, D. C., Feb. subsides tainted and tattooed with frand and ; Whose prospective administration guar- anteed them immunity and additional “spoil. They were joined by every cor- rupt ring and ringster, Democrat and | Republican, in the country, who be- i lieved that Mir. |meant honest government. Their can- /didate was heralded as “The Thieves’ ‘Own’ and was supported becanse of it. | His personal magnetisin drew them as ‘the loadstone draws needles. They 'swarmed at Chicago by thousands and nominated him, against the protests of honest men, and they poured out money like water to elect him. Not because it was James G. Blaine, but because he was the representative of a corrupt party, grown great. Republican rule had made Massachusetts and New Hampshire and | and Kansas and Nebraska and Iowa | Cleveland's election | under which they had} to the suspicion. ‘the Bell patent was filed on the same | robbery respectable. And these ele- ments were all for Blaine and Republi- can rule. WAR ON THE PRESIDENT. Having vainly striven against fate and Grover Cleveland, the corrupt ele- ments of the country hastened to make their peace with the new regime. Jay Gould, the worst of the lot, was the | first to congratulate the new President. | Before the ink of the operator who an- nounced the recount in New York was When the States of the South, for | dry Jay Gould, controlling the major- ity of the newspapers of New York, the Western Union and the Associated ; eae | Press, gave in his allegiance to the new and that the basis of distribution shall | oO oo th be the number of illiterates above the | government. Those combinations that could not see their way sat down and waited. They were led by their corrupt venal press to expect an early disrup- tion of the Democratic party under President Cleveland. They saw his difficulties at once 2nd wiited an op- portunity to take advantage of the first split. Their hired organs, Re- publican and Democratic fostered the spirit of bitterness between the two factions; encouraged dissentions, be- cause in the weakness of the adminis- tration or its total failure their inter- ests might survive unscathed. Their common energies were devoted to an effort to force the President from his reform platform into the gutter of his predecessors. It was to this end the discontent was magnified and urged on to open rebellion. When it became apparent that the attempt to create a diversion must fail, the disappointment of the jobbers was intense. As day by day the President grew stronger with his party as well as with the country and the success of the reform govern- ment was inevitable, the horde of ras- cals became alarmed and desperate. The administration had begun to reach out for them. ment had begun to press the Pacific raulroads tor their dues; the Post Oftice | Department had refused to divide S400.- QOU as a subsidy to steamship lines for | carrying the mails: the Navy Depart- ment had destroyed the Roach at a’ single blow and, finally the Depart-' ment of Justice stepped in and ordered | the telaphone monopoly into court. At each successive step of an honest | administration the jobbers howled | with rage? They have joined forces | in their hostility to the administration | and the war has at last openly begun. | FACING THE JOBBER'S BRIGADE. If there were no other evidences of the entire sueecss of the first year of | Grover Cleveland's administration, the | si , }ened this monopoly on the necks of the | fact that it has arrayed against it all the political vagabonds, jobbers, corrupt corporations, fraudulent stockholders, thieves and the subsidized press would be a sufficient triumph. Just as an honest newspaper draws upon the dislike and hatred of the criminal classes of a} community, so honest government at! Washington draws the fire and fury of the jobbers and corruptionists. In this result President Cleveland is to be con- gratulated. ‘The combination of ras- cals. great apd small, against the Dem- ocratic administration before the close of the fiscal year of its power is a tri- bute to honesty rarely paid by a Chief Here in the , national capital the seutiment is easily , Vere most the creatures of Executive of this nation. marked. \ the lobby congregate there will he heard the angry mutterings aginst Mr. Cleveland’s administration.

During the war it used to be said with truti, that while every Democrat was not a rebel, every rebel was a Democrat. . Now every man opposed to the adminis- , tration is not a Jobber, but every jobber is opposed to the administration. CALLING A LEAT. Then came in anew administration ‘an administration that tion of the laws. It found Roach at work on certain vessels for the govern- nent.

His act was the most poimted confession of the fraud of his whole corrupt career. His cause was seized upon by every organ hostile to Mr Cleve- land’s administration and an impudent robber was male to pose asa martyr before the country. THE GREAT TELEPHONE MONOPOLY. There never was a prrallel to the out- rageons exhibition of brazen jobbery by John Roach. Tf anything ever ap- proached it. that thing is the Bell Tele- phone Company s complaint against the administration. * = ee iiic company was primarily founded in fraud.

A Patent Office clerk assumed the responsibility of giving the right of priority to Mr. Bell, when it was clearly a case of interference and should have gone before the examiners of interferences. The facts would then have been brought out that have subse- quently been developed, namely that the sending of language by word of mouth over a wire was not original with either Gray or Bell, and that even had it been it was not patentable. As the issuance of the Beu patent was thus a double violation of the rules of the Patent Office the natural conclusion is that it was obtained by collusion and fraud. Every movement of the Bell Company since that time has justified the worst conclusion. The peculair phase of the Bell telephone fraud is its general bearing on the public. EXACTING ENORMOUS TRIBUTE. - Having obtained a patent on a law of nature by questionable means the Bell corporation began to exact tnb- ute from the whole country. No other telephone could be invented but had to pay a royalty to the Bell mo- nopoly, because no telephone could be invented that did not utilize the law of nature that had thus been seized upon and appropriated to the sole use of the Bell people. In a brief two or three years the Bell company became the most gigantic and perfect mo- nopoly of the age. There could be 'no competition. Secure in this posses- ‘sion it exacted the most outrageous tax upon users, charging from fifty ‘tou one hundred dollars per annum for (the use of an apparatus which cost | them from three to five dollars and com- paratively nothing beyond the plant. | | Nobody could have a telephone with- | /out this extortionate demand was paid, and non-users were taxed indirectly by users, the whole country beling levied | upon one way or another to fill the | pockets of the stockholders.

It is actuated only by mo- tiv undeg on principle. The measure is a’ Carience with all the teachings of De sy; ia antagonistic to our Repub- lican form of government; is adrvitly aimed at Statee Rights; is unconstitutional and may be considered the arch enemy to the peace and happiness of the people of the South. Read the article on the outside of this paper under the head of “The States Righés Killer.” It is an aggregation of views touching this matter and is not configed to party lines. Hear Ingalls when he exclaims in the U. 8. Senate: “do not insult the people of the Northern States by declaring that they want any portion of this dona- tion ef $77,000,000 ——. We do not want it.’ Do not insult the honest*people of North Carolina, they do not want it! Agnia he says: “I have heard this mea- sure spoken of as anact of restitution, a contribution to the national conscience fund, as if the North, in overcoming the South gnd in securing the freedom of the glave and enfranchising the freedmen, was thereby compelled by virtue of that fact to hear the entire burden of educat-| ing them up to the condition where they would be properly competent and quali- fled to .exercise the sufferage.’ = This seems to be the idea of many. Ia this view of the case great injustice is being done the South. In every State ample provision is made for the education of the negro, In North Carolina the negro has an equal share of the school funds (and he pays-but a farthing of the tax) and enjoys ull the privileges of the whites in that particular. The South has shown that it is able and willing to educate the negro aud amid all the privations and op- pressions following the war has from her | scantily filled coffers given an equal | share for his cducation. But if Congress or Blair wishes to relieve the people of | the South of the duty of educating the so and make the negro, why not say | bill bas received hearty commendation from theory that has - the constitu- tional right to tAx the people of the Uni- ted States for the purpose of establishing and maintaining common schools in the separate States. ‘here is no warrant for such an exercise of authority to be found in any fair and reasonable construction of the Constitution. The step is a great and dangerous one to- er in the hands of the Federal Govern- ment, and the fact that it commands the support of both Republicans and Demo- crats show how serious has been the demori- lization wrought by the centralizing ten- demcies of twenty years of Republican rule. We cannot bring ourselves to believe that the Democrats who support this measure are ignorant of the fact that it violates the traditions of Democracy and the theories of constitutional construction to which their party has been thoroughly committed from the days of Jefferson down to the present time. Itis not igno- rance of these facts that influence their action, but the fear of offending constitu- encies that expect to secure pecuniary gain, or at least relief from pecuniary burdens. The ordinary man looks at political prob- lems simply with a view to their imme- diate results. Many Southern communi- ties recognizing the necessity for the edu- cation of the people, now that all are voters, nevertheless feel keenly the cost of providing for such education, and eagerly turn to the Federal Government for assistance. They forget that the taxes which it levies full as surely upon their shoulders as do those levied by their local authorities. They put aside, therefore, their prejudices against augmenting the powers of the Central Government, and demand of their representatives in Con- gress the support of a measure which, it appears to them, will pour a golden stream into impoverished communities. This confusion of thought, which leads men to think that a mere shifting of the bur- den can be madea source of profit or relief, is only one of the inevitable conse- quences of pernicious system of indirect tucation, Seventh District in Congress.

We want no Federal officeholders bossing ward and township politics, We demand that they shall not prostitute their offices to fight on that issue (which would be as unconstitutional as the present scheme, | and no more so,) and not subject the white people to the humiliating position of accepting money on terms which at once robs them of the right to dietate in the matter and manner of their children’s education, partisan purposes. But we want no aris- tocracy of officcholders. The people are notin sympathy with the idea that the ac- quisition of an office means a vested right juit. They are not willing that clerks or others coming within the purview of the law as it now exisits, shall be superior to the casualties of polities which attend Touching the unconstitutionality of| _ the measure, the Wilmington Star pub- | lishes the opinion of Ccorge T. Curtis, | probably the greatest lawyer in the| North, which first appeared in the New York Star, as follows: In the body of the Constitution the phrase “the United States” occurs thirty- three times, exclusive of its occurrence in the taxing clause, and in every one of these thirty-three places the context shows | plainly that it is the political corporation | of thé government of the United States | that is neant. The same phrase occurs in | only three places when it means the terri- | torial extent of country, and in this use| the language is in every instance “throvgh- out the United States,” meaning through- out the-whole group of States which com- ose the Union. In the taxing clause we ave the use of the terin ‘United States,” jn both’sens¢s. When it is used in refer- ence to the Constitutional purposes of tax- ation the meaning odyicusly is the gov- ernment of the United States. When it js used in reference to the rale of uni- formity of duties, imports and excises the meant is expressed by saving “through- out the United States,” thu is everywhere throughout the Union Thig is no close or strict construction, Jt is the necessary construction, The lan- guage cannot. be otherwise interpreted withogg,making the taxing power com- | preherd !o’h a power to raise an unlimit- ed quantity of moncy and a power to ap- propriate and apply it to feeding or clothing the people of a State, just as well as to ap- propriate and apply it in teaching them to readand write, — Food and clothing are just as mecessary to the welfure of a people as edi@ation; rather more necessary if we take the wants of mankind in their na- tural order. There are persons who persuade them- selves'that grants of the public lands to Statesto aid in promoting education are precedents for laying taxes and giving the money to States for purposes of edu- cation. The United States is a evreat landed prietor, and, like any other owner of land, it can give the land that it owns to a State, or to the people of a State, fog any purpose whatever. Some- times is done upon the theory that settlement on the land, and the educa- tion of the settlers, will enhance the value of the:remaining portion which the government does not thus donate. This theory, however, is not necessary to the ane ee such grants. They may ma as any other owner of land can donate his land, for any reason that he sccas#ié, so far as the government is not restrai by the conditions of the ces- sions byjwhich it acquired the land. But Mr. Blair’s bill does not propose to grant public lag@ to the States to promote educa- | tion and fm passing it Congress will not act | asaland owner, It proposes to tax the people of the United States by many mil- ions, audto appropriate and apply the mo- ney to the education of the people of cer- tain States, Ifthe power to dothis can be found in the taxing clause, the measure | will be constitutional. Jf it cannot be found there, the measure will be a monstrous | and dafgerous assumption of a power with- | out any Constitutional basis whatever.

Mr. Henderson’s bill prescribes a term of office —four years, That is just and sensible and right. It must commend itself to all who are in favor of civil service reform and who are yet opposed to the life tenure of othceholders. And touching internal revenue reform the same writer says: Representative Henderson is making a lation and has discovered some valuable information, which may influence the com- mittee on ways and means to report a bill materially modifying the internal revenue system for the better. Of course he is in favor of an absolute repeal of the whole law. This, however, it is not possible to accomplish now and therefore he will further any plan by which the obnoxious features of the system can be removed. The tax on brandy will probably be much reduced and the hope is entertained that vast numbers of internal revenue officials may be dispensed with. There is a strong feeling in Congress and at home, that whis- key and tobacco are good enough luxuries to tax; and the clrmor against the system is on account of the inquisitorial, tyvranni- cal and vexatious enforcement of the law articles. Every political economist knows that the tax after all is really paid by con- sumers of things—by those who drivk spir- its and smoke and chew tobacco, &e, Mr. and Mrs. F, L.

The bill fixes the time for 1887, and every second year thereafter on the first Monday in October, and in 1886 and every seeond year thereatter on the second Mon— day in November. The idea isto lenethen the short term and to prevent. the long term from stretching too far into the sum- mer, But Mr. Henderson's, (of N.C.) pro- position in the House is much better.

The dividend account exceeds $20,000,000, It pays quarterly dividends of $5 ashare on 100,- OVO shares. More than one-third of the entire copper of North Michigan has been taken from this mine, and a good share of the whole product of the globe. The total product of refined copper produced in 1882 was 28,000 tons. The Burra-Burra mine of South Africa, worked for twenty-one years, did not yield as much copper as was raised from the depths of the Calumet mine in the two years of 1SS0 and HSS1. It should be borne in mind that the only virgin copper comes from the Lake Superior mines, and not copper ores, Which mines, in other regions yield, which ores have to be “treated” and reduced to produce copper.—De- troit Iree Press. oS eet David Marvin, Infant son of Mr. and Mrs. J.D.

SELECTION OF SEED. Southern Fertilizing Company. There is no farm crop grown as @ staple in the United States that pays better than good tobacco; and te grow good tobacco requires, 1D the first place, good seed; for good seed is at the foun- dation of all successful farming, and more essential, if possible, as regards tobacco, than in any other ne For in this, the range of types, grades, and prices, are wider than in any other crop, while the seed affect and control all these more than any other. Soil, climate, and management, next to va- riety, operate to determine the charac- ter of the product. ; The variety must be suited to the type which the planter intends to raise, and the soil must be adapted to the type, or failure is certain. Bright yel- low tobacco cannot be produced on dark rich soil, nor rich dark “shipping” | on poor gray soil; nor will the rich, lcoarse varieties produce fine silky yel- How goods, or the thin silky varieties make heavy, fat, tough export tobac- | C03. . | ‘There has been a wonderful improve- iment oa varieties of tobacco during the | past generation—improvement by se- ‘lection in the old kinds and the intro- duction of new varieties, with superior qualities and characteristics for every type of tobacco. None but an old fogy will continue to plant the old, un- improved varieties because they were his father’s or grandfather's favorites. The world moves, seeds are improved, and industries developed and advanced. Our ancestors succeeded with the va- rieties of tobacco they planted, when there was mainly but one type—the dark shipping—but taste and fashion ichange, new types are wanted and new varieties suited to these types, and plan- ters who meet the demand are those who make the most money by tobacco planting. Virginia is the home of the tobacco plant, and here it develops to the high- esi perfection, and, consequently, here have originated the best and finest va- rieties. She grows now all the types used in plug tobacco and for pipes and cigarettes; and she has some sixteen hundred square miles of soil suited to another type--Cigar Tobacco — and these soils he mainly in the Piedmont country, where our people are striving to compete with the West in growing grain. Here is an opportunity that ouzht to be improved. It is arecognized fact that where any flora develops to greatest perfection, there is where the best seed can be grown. It would pay planters im the South and West, who grow. the yel- low and dark export types, to get ther seeds every year from Virgimia, as market-gardeners get seeds from locali- ties where the several varieties develop to greatest perfection, rather than grow their supplies at lower cost, but under less favoring conditions, as to adaptability of soil, climate, &e. They know where to get the best, and are aware of the tendency to degeneration in seeds generally, and the imiportance of va frequent recurrence to first prin- ciples,” to promote healthy normal growth and maturity. Planters have no excuse for using poor seeds when pecigree seeds of all types may be so cheaply procured. The cost of tobacco seed per acre ranges from ten to twenty cents—the cost for seed of no other farm crop is so little. | VARIETIES FOR SPECIFIC BACCO. TYPES OF TO- We will premuse by stating that on- ly an approximate guide may be given for the selection of varieties suited to the several types.

Go into the woods, original forest, if posstble, and select a spot near a branch or stream of water embracing both hill-side and flat, and having a southern or southeasterneexposure, pro- tected by woods on the north. Burn over the plat intended for plants either by the old or new method. The first consists in placing down a bed of wood on small skids three to four feet apart on the ground well cleared and raked. Then fire this bed of wood and _per- mit it to remain burning long enough to cook the soil brown for half an inch deep. With hooks, or old hoes fasten- ed to long poles, pull the burning mass of brands a distance of four and a half or five feet, throw on brush and wood, and continue burning and moving the fire until the bed is burned over. Nev- er burn when the land is wet. It will require from one and a half to two hours to cook the soil properly. * * * * * But any mode of burning the plat will suffice, provided that it is effectu- ally done. After the plat has been burned and has cooled, rake off the large coals and brands, but let the ashes remain, as_ they are essentially a first class manure. Then coulter over the plat deeply or break with grub hoes, and make fine the soil by repeated chopping and raking, observing not to bring the subsoil to. the surface, and remove all roots and tufts. Manure from stable, hog pen or poultry house, or some relitble commercial fertilizer (L use the “Anchor Brand”) should be chopped into and thoroughly imcorpor- ated with the soil while preparing the bed to be sown. Experience has de- monstrated that itis better to use both. But beware of manure containing grass seed. The judgement of the planter must guide him in the amount of ferti- lizing material to be applied at this stage; but itis well to remind him that the tobaeco plant rarely responds to homeepathie doses of plant food, but that the allopathic usage suits it best. The best way to sow the seed is so mix them thoroughly with a fertilizer or dry ashes, and sow once regularly oyer the bed, reserving seed enough to cross sow to promote regularity. The tobacco seed is the smallest of all farm seeds, and consequently requires a heht covering. If the seed are sown betore the 20th of February, the best way is to firm the surface of theebed by tread- ing it over closely, but if sown later. sweep lightly over with a brush or light rake. Then run surface drains through the bed, with inclination enough to pass off the water. To do this properly, run thet off four or five feet apart with the foot, then open with a narrow grubbing hoe to_ the depth of three or four inches. Then trench deeply around the outside of the bed, to ward off surface water and pre- vent washing. —- —- John Ploughmai’s Talk. ON FAULTS. He who boasts of being perfect 1s perfect in folly. I have been a good deal up and down in the world, and | never did see either a perfect horse or a perfect man, and I never shall till two Sundays come together. You cannot get white flour out of a coal sack, nor perfection out of human nature: he who looks for it had better look for sigar in the sea. The old saying 1s. “Lifeless, faultless:” of dead amen we should say nothing but good, but as {or the living. they are all tarred more or Jess with the black brush, and half an eye can see it. Every head has a For mahogany wrappers, Tuchaho, t | Sueet Oronoko, and Gold Leaf. | | For cutters, use Granville Yellow. | | Gooch, Hester, and Tuckahoe. For fine vellow wrappers, use Gran- leille Yellow, Tuckahoe, White Stem | Oronoko, Yellow Pryor, Yellow Orono-; l'ho and Hester. | For sweet fillers, Sweet Oronoko and Flanagan. | For yellow fillers and cigarettes, | Eyeo, Granville Yellow,and Silky Pry-| ov—the latter makes fine wrappers on | | some soils. If the planter finds, aftera trial, that | ;any variety fails to do well on his soil ‘let him diseard it, make a note of it, | and select another. | The White-Stem Orvonoko, Yellow | | Pryor and Yellow Oronoko are varie- | ,ties thatgarely fail to make fine wrap- | /pers. Wherever such can be grown. | | The Tuckahoe is a new candidate for ‘favor, and deserves extensive trial, as | jit has proved, in Virginia, to produce | | the richest | | yellow goods of any other | —a grade now much in demand. Its | ;comparative freedom from spot and | burning is greatly in its favor, having | ; proved nearest of all to be drought! proof. | ‘less of evil; soft place in it, and every heart has its black drop. Every rose has its prickles. and every day its night. Even the sun shows spots, and the skies are darkened with clouds, Nobody isso wise but he has folly enough to stock a stall of Vanity Fair, Where I could not see the fool’s-cap, Ll have nevertheless heard the bells jingle. As there is no sunshine without some shadows, so is all human good mixed up with more or even poor Jaw guardians have their little failings, and parish beadles are not wholly of heavenly na- ture. The best wine has its lees. All men’s faults are not written on their foreheads, and its quite as well tkey are not, or hats wont need very wide brims, yet as sure as eges are eges, faults of some sort nestle in every bosom. There's no telling when a man’s sins may show themselves, for hares pop out of the ditgh just when you are not Jooking for them. A horse that is weak in the legsmay not stum- ble for a mile or two. but it is in him, and the rider had better hold him up well, The tabby cat is not Jay ping milk just now, but Jeave the @eiry open and we will see if she is not as bad a thief as the kitten. There's fire in the The Steet Oronoko, for plug fillers. flint cool as it looks: wait till the steel _has never been excelled. |. The Hester and Gooch succeed best in some localities for brights or cut- | ters. | 4yco is decidedly the easiest of any ito cure yellow; requires a moist, but hot wet, gray soil; rarely succeeds on red or thirsty soil. . The Vuchahoe and Hester possess a wider adaptability to soils and types ‘than any others. . _ PREPARATION OF PLANT BEDS. Open Air Beds.—But there is n question that open air beds are chea fest. And where this mode of raising | plants is practicable, it is greatly to le preferred for the main supply of pants. It isa well established opinion that gets a knock at it, and you will see. | Everybody can read that riddle, but it jis not everybody that will remember | to keep his gunpowder out of the way ‘of the candle. | Ifwe would always recollect that ,we live among men who are imperfect, we should not be in such a fever when | we find out our friend’s failings; what's rotten will rend and cracked pois’ will ‘leak. Blessed ishe who expects noth- jing of poor flesh and blood, for he shall \never ke disappointed. The best of 'men are men at the best. and the best PP wax will melt. It is a good horse that never stumbles, | And a youd wife that never grumbles. | But surely such horses and wives are only found in the fool's paradise, where ee ee eateries aie dumplings w on trees. In this wicked orate straightest timber has knots in it,. and the cleanest field of wheat has its share of weeds. The most careful driver one day u the cart; the cleverest cook spills a lit- tle broth, and as I know to my sorrow a very decent ploughman will now and then break the plough, and often make a crooked furrow. It is foolish to turn off a tried friend because of a failing or two, for you may get rid of a one-eyed nag and buy a blind one. Being alt of us full of faults, we ought to keep two bears, and learn to bear and forbear with one another; since we will all live in glass houses, we should none of us throw stones. Everybody laughs when the sauce-pan says to the kettle, “How black you are!’ Other men’s imperfections show us our imperfec- tions, for one sheep is much like an- other; and if there’s an apple in my neighbor's eye, there is no doubt one in mine. We ought to use our neighbors as looking-glasses to see our own faults in, and mend in ourselves what we see in them. : I have no patience with those who enna like. Faults or no faults, ploughing’ must be done, and imperfect people must do it too, or there will be no haf- vest next year; bad ploughman as John may be, the angel’s won't do his work for him, and so he is off to do it him- self.

What we wish to see we shall or think we see. Faults are always thick where love is thin. A white cow isall black if your eye chooses to make it so. If we sniff long enough at rose water, we will find out it has a bad smell. It would be a far more pleasant business, at least for other people, if fault hunters would turn their dogs to hunt out the good points in other folks, the game would pay better, and nobody would stand with a pitch-fork to keep the huntsmen off his farm. As for our own faults, it would take a large slate to hold the ac- count of them, but, thank God, we know where to take them, and how to get the better of them. With all .our faults God loves us still if we are trust- ing in his Son, therefore let us not be down-hearted, but hope to live and learn, and do good service before we of work yet.

A correspondent of the Lenoir Topic writes: It is said that A. D. Cowles, team- ster of (rap Creek, Ashe county, while returning from Marion, Va., saw a bear on [ron Mountain, which he sent the degs after. They brought him to bay, and as the teamster went to the aid of the dogs, the bear came to meet him, who, nothing daunted attacked his bearship with the pole of the axe and killed him. He netted 300 pounds. Bears have a fascination which the | reporter cannot resist. The Topie is eayerly sought among our exchanges nd seanned for the purpose of tinding | a record of the “when, where and who” of the last killing.

In all court houses in New York, very dirty copies of the Bible are used in a way which, the editor of the Her- ald of Health thinks, and which al- must every one will concur, is danger- ous to health. When jurors or wit- nesses are sworn, they are expected to take the Bible in one hand, and after repeating the vith, to kiss the book with their lips. Clean and unclean peau do this indiscriminately, and it does not take long to make the cover. and even the leaves, of this book very foul. Such a use of it, it seems to us, ly unwarrantable. The Bible says: “Swear not at all; neither by the heaven, for that is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstuol of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; and whatsoever is more than these cometh of the evil one.” Cleanly people who do not wish to kiss a book sodden with grease and foul with filth, are allowed to affrm, which is certainly preferable. Others ee a harmless sort of evasion, by olding the book in a way that they can kiss their thumbs without being observed by the officer of the court, who, by the way, is rarely very watch- ful, and is satistied if one goes through with the form rather than the spirit of the oath.—Svienfific American. There is much truth inthis. The writer has observed with what light and airy kiss the Holy Book has been greeted in the courthouse. Some change should be made in this custom. Why not require a man to hold up his nght hand and affirm. effective and just It would be just as as impressive as the present objectionable form. ——- A French woman who has gone to 722 balls in order to catch a husband has caught instead bronchitis fourteen times, pleurisy thrice, and 120 colds in the head.

BY GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS. N. Y. Star, Dem. To the Editor of the Star—Str:— There have been strange constitutional doctrines promulgated before now, but the strangest and the drollest that I /have ever met with is that enunciated ‘in Senator Blair's report, by which he justifies his education _ bill, now pend- | ing in the Senate. Mr. Blair claims | that since this bill passed the Senate in | April, 1884, the measure has been gen- | erally and thoroughly discussedthrough- ‘out the whole country, and that prob- ably public sentiment is more largely in favor of his bill than was ever known to be the case with any other} measure of like importance in the his- |tory of American legislation. If this is true, public sentiment is in favor of a ;monstrous departure from the Consti- ltution; and to the extent to which it lis true that public sentiment favors ‘this bill, there is a widespread igno- rance of the nature of the Federal | Government and its powers. Mr. Blair lays down the following /as his leading proposition: | That the General Government pos- | sesses the power, and has imposed upon ‘it the duty of educating the people of ithe United States, whenever, for any cause, those people are deficient in that | degree of education which is essential to the discharge of their duties as citi- zens of the United States or of the several States wherein they chance to reside. An analysis of this extraordinary proposition will show that it is an ut- ter fallacy. Passing over, for the pres- eut, the assertion that the General Government possesses the power and has imposed upon it the duty of educa- ting the people of the United States, let us inquire, first, what isthe educa- tion which the General Government is to undertake? second, what is_ the de- gree of deficiency in that education which is to call the Federal power in- to exerc’s> and make active the per- formance of the Federal duty? thirdly, what relation exists between “any cause” for the deticiency and the pow- er of duty of supplying that deficiency by grants from the Federal Treasury ? First —What is the education that is to be furnished? The bill answers this question in its fifth section. The Fed- eral money is to be applied to include instruction in reading, writing and speaking the English language, arith- metie, geography, history of the Uni- ted States and such other branches of useful knowledge as may be taught under local laws. Deficiency in school education of this kind is the “igno- rance’ which Mr. Blair assumes ren- ders individuals unfit to discharge their duties as citizens of the United States or of the States where they happen to reside. One grand assumption here is that people who cannot read and write, who lave never studied geography or learned arithmetic or history of the United States, cannot be good citizens, because they must lack the intelligence necessary to enable them to be intelli- gent voters. Every day's experience] disproves this assumption. Every com- munity in this country has many citi- zens who are entirely illiterate, and who are just as intelligent voters as men who have had all the instruction that the common schools can afford. It isa very great: mistake to suppose that an individual is ieee 2 cause he has not attended school. The discipline of life is an education; the listening to the public discourse is an education; the earning of one’s daily bread is an education; suffering is an education; success is an education. A thousand things make up education and promote mental activity of which reading, writing and arithmetic form no part. The ignorance that consists in illiteracy is ignorance of that which is not only not essential to the discharge of the duties of citizenship, but which does not necessarily increase the power to understand those duties. Who does not know multitudes of men who can- not read or write, and who are just as good jurors as men who can, other things being equal? The same thing is true in regard to the exercise of the elective francise. A man who never leared to read or write may vote just as intelligently as the greatest scholar, yrovided the circumstances of his life have given him the intelligence which comes of observation, experience, know- esparate | over the matter, and said she would go. : and remarked if she did not like Utah | ledge of men, habits of thinking, and power of judging of public measures and public men. A man who cannot keep his own aecounts or read a news- paper, or tell the Loundaries of coun- tries or the course of rivers, may be as It is not very long since the Republican party forced not only the emancipation of millions of negro slaves, but the en- franchisement of all the adult males among them. These suddenly created voters who were completely unfit to be intrusted with the ballot, not because they could not read and write, but be- cause they had never had the broader education which comes to every ‘free- man from the life of a freeman, wheth- * * * Jn the next place, what is the degree of deficiency 1n education which is to call the Federal power to educate into exercise? The propositi on which Mr. Blair bases his whole argument includes deficiency in that “degree of education which is essential to thedischarge of their duties as either citizens of the United States or of the several States.” The report and the bill answers this question. The requisite degree of education is simply that which is to be obtained in the common schools. Of the want of this Congress is to be the judge, as it is also to be the judge of it as an essential and in- dispensable requisite, whatever may be the cause which has produced or which perpetuates the illitera- ey. The State, or the parent, may not agree with Congress about what is essential to make an intelligent voter, but is no matter. It is the duty of the General Government to decide all that. Finally, the relation between the “cause” for illiteracy, “any cause,” and the power and duty of the General Government to step in and cure the illiteracy, is a relation which brings in- to view the most novel interpretation of the Constitution that has ever been broached. Myr. Blair is so obliging as to admit that he must find in the Con- stitution some warrant for the exercise of this power and some foundation for the duty. Accordingly he proceeds to construct his theory as follows: The taxing clause of the Constitution authorizes Congress to lay taxes “to provide for the general welfare of the United States.” Conceding that “the United States” means the government of the United States, the inherent right of defending itself against dan- gers and mischiefs which threaten its destruction clothes that government with a power, and makes it its duty, to take any measures that will presere its existence by ericountering and removy- ing the causes of danger to itself. ll- literasy in its citizens of the several States, is one of the greatest causes of danger to the continued existence of the government. The right of self- defense is the source of a power to edu- cate the people by applications of ked- eral money raised by Federal taxation. The amount of force and bold assump- tion in this kind of reasoning 1s soue- thing huge. It will justify the absorp- tion into the hands of the Iederal Gor- ernment of every description of gorern- mental power. A State neglects, or is unable, to give all its children the kind and degree of education which Con- gress determines to be essential to make them good citizens, and the want of which makes them dangerous to the existence of the General Government. Congress may therefore provide for their education. A State neglects or is unable to secure employment for a:] its people; pauperism is the conse- quence; pauperism is dangerous to the welfare of the General Government; Congress may therefore step in and and prevent pauperism. A State neg- lects, or is unable to discharge any du- ty which is ordinarily to be expected of a government toward its citizens; dis- content, vagrancy, crime, are the con- sequence; all these things make bad citizens, and bad citizens are dangerous to the perpetuity of the general gov- ernment; therefore the general govern- ment may step in and remove the cause of the discontent, vagraney .and crime. A State neglects, or is unable, to re- press intemperance; habits of intem- perance render citizens unfit for the discharge of their public duties; this is dangerous to the well being of the General Government; Congress may therefore make laws to prevent intem- perance, and may determine what men | shall eat and drink, no matter what may be the reason why the State does not do what Congress decides it ought to do. Right in the way of all this sophis- try stands the only true interpretation of the taxing clause of the Constitu- tion —that it embraces a power to levy unlimited taxes in order to provide for the general welfare of the Government of the United States by supplying. it with all the money needful to enable it to exercise and execute the specific powers of legislation and Government granted to it in the subsequent clauses and therein describ d The doctrine of the inherent right of self-defense, when stretched beyond the direct exercise of the specific powers of legislation and government vested in the General Gov- ernment, leads to an utter confusion. * * * When you undertake the re- mote application of the doctrine of self-defense to the removal of theoreti- eal or speculative or problematical dangers, you enter upon a field where you can find no support in the Consti- tution, and you nnght as well frankly n- admit that you do not care @ button for the Constitution. There is some danger, I am sorry to say, that Democrats will be mis- led by this splendid bribe that is held out to them to abandon all their professed re- gard for the Constitution. But some of us: will protest while we can. Washington, Feb. 17. A Strange Man Found Dead in the Catawba River. Sunday afternoon last Messrs. J. W. Clarx and T. B. Lemly, of Fallstown township, came to Statesville and re- ported to Coroner Anderson - that the body of a strange man had been found in the Catawba river, on the margin of Mr. A. P. Clark’s island, about ten miles south of town, and a gnile below the Statesville and Catawba toll bridge, and Monday morning Mr. Anderson went out to hold an inquest. The island is of considerable size and a tree on its eastern edge had fallen into the stream. The man’s right arm had caught around su limb of this tree. The body was found out of the water above the waist, and lay on an inclined plane, the head lying forward and the chin resting on the breast. It was the body of awhite man, 35 or 40 years old, about 5 feet 10 in height and weigh- ing about 180 pounds. The coroner's jury found that the deceased “had come to his death by drowning, and we find no marks of violence on his person.” No one knows the man, and the generally accepted theory is that he was a tramp who had divested him- self of a part of his clothing and had undertaken to wade the river. Mr. A. P. Clark says the water has not been high enough since the Ist of January to have lodged the body where it was found, so that the drowning must have occurred nearly if not two months ago. Mr. Clark had seen the object in the water for three weeks but did not sus- pe that it was a human body. He ad a coftin made and a grave was dug on the hill side overlooking the river, and the stranger whose history will never be known, and whose kindred and friends, if he had any, will prob- ably never know his fate, was given decent burial.—Statesville Landmark. All honest Men Condemn It. We are sorry to see the boycott mak- ing its way into the South. It can do no good and can searcely help doing considerable harm. — It excites antago- nism between labor and capital, where- as the utmost harmony should prevail between them. It tends towards social discord and strife and so toward a paralysis of business. There is no doubt about the right of any interest to organize for its own promofion and protection, and it is proper that the grievances of any class should be made known, in order that they may be cor- rected by the public sense of right. This should be done, however, in the proper way and not by means ot con- spiracy and coercion which generally characterize the boycott. These meth- ods are foreign to the spirit of our in- stitutions and tend to array against each other classes whose welfare de-| pends on the harmony and kindly feel- | ing that may exist between them. | They should therefore be discounten- | anced by all those who value the peace | of society. The boycotting system was introduced into this country from Ire- land, and we for one do not welcome the importation. The word “boycott” | was coed during the protracted con- test of Irish tenants with one Capt. Boycott, who was the agent of a large | landed estate and who was driven away | for a time. The tenants would not work the lands or suffer others to do so, unless the rents were largely reduced | or remitted. The system has been tried | in this country by liquor dealers to’ make temperance people abandon the movement against liquor traffic; by temperance people (in the west) to co- erce liyuor dealers into an abandon-~ ment of their trade; by trades unions against manufacturers and merchants | who have provoked their displeasure; | by local land leagues against persons ' who have been outspoken against the dynamite pohey; and it has been at- tempted spasmodically in other direc-’ tions. It has not worked well, however. It is a foreign plant that languishes in this democratie soil. We hope it will be found impossible to propagate it.— News-Observer. | ——_——_~»>- ———-_—_ New Dress for Dandies. From the Boston Herald. It is rumored that the much agitated | reform injmen’s dress is about to be in- ' augurated in our midst. Several well known artists and their friends, having decided to discard the sombre evening dress, which has been a uniform for waiters as well as gentlemen, have agreed upon a style that seems more suitable to the occasion. The favored garb is nothing less picturesque than a combination of the Venetian and the French of the time of Charles IX. One model is composed of a gray waistcoat and doublet of violet velvet, embroidered with silver, trimmed with fine lace at the throat aud ruffles at the wrist, worn over violet satin trunks slashed with white, and pearl gray silk stockings. A Venetian flounce of vel- vet, ornamented with a white ostrich plume fastened with jewels in front, sets off the costume, which is complet- ed by shoes of colored leather with rib- bon bows. Other styles appear in col- ors and modifications suited to the wearer's taste and age. That's right! Do give the dear mon -was charged with the entire set. a chance. It is so American, you know. But why go back only to Charles IX? Some of the ladies are nearly back to Eve now, and the men have got to go with them, don’t forget that. ——__~o -—__—_ No Work that Peys Better. It costs something to bea good mother. There is no more exacting and exhausting work in the world than a true mother’s work. But there is no work inthe world that pays better. No reward in God's service is surer, richer, grander, than the reward to a faithful and faith filled mother; and as to the idea that a mother can neglect this work in the earlier years of her children’s life, and take it up to better advantage in their latter years, that is as baseless in fact as it is in philosophy. No mother on earth ever yet won her child’s freest, truest confidence in its maturer years, if she had failed of se- curing it before that perio¢. No moth- er would deserve such confidence if she deliberately postponed their seeking until then. It may be—it often is—a wise mother’s duty to be measurably separated from her children in the lat- ter training, when they must be at schoo’s or at labor, or in the enjoyment of well chosen companions outside of their home; but this must never be ac- cepted as a necessity until the mother’s hold on her children’s confidence is so strong throvgh the experience of the years that aré gone, that only the close of life can diminish or change the coni- scious power of that hold. Asarule,a child’s taste, and char- acter, and trend in life and even its permanent destiny, are practically sha- ped before a child is seven years of age. A mother’s failure of motherly devotedness in those first seven years can never be made good by seven times seven years of devotedness thereafter. ee Old Dominion's Endorsement. Richmond Dispatch. The Raleigh (N. C.) Observer says too many North Carolinians are dis- posed to agree to some extent with “those ingrates and superciltous for- eighners” who are fond of underrating the intelligence or enterprise of that State or the achievements of her sons, living and dead, and‘adds : Her (North Carolina’s) enterprise, too, in material things, while not very rapid, has been upon sure foundations. She has advanced slowly, perhaps, but surely without doubt, so that her ma- terial condition now is probably better, more firmly founded than that of any other Sonthern State. Her people has been ever thoughtful before taking a step, but that is a characteristic which has marked every great people in his- tory. When any step has finally been determined on the State has taken it firmly and has held to it with abso- lutely all her might. She has always been a State to be depended on in war and in peace, and has at the same time been not without the brilliancy which noble deeds, splendid oratory, true statesmanship, and all the forms of genius lend a conimunity. North Car- olinians have every reason to be proud of their State. Correct.

They have been working this little racket for about a month. They are youthful violators of U.S. laws, but will probably suffer the penalty, all the same. _ aes The radical press is now circulating a most bare faced lie under the heading of the “ Vance family” in which they show a list of many as 16 of the Vance family in office. It’s all a lie. There are no such people as those described. The lie originated in a Cincinnati paper. Sg A Yadkin correspondent of the Land- mark says that the peach and cherry buds were killed by the late cold weather. It may not be so in other counties. The same paper reports a mad dog in the Olin and Turnersburg, (Iredell coun- ty,) section which bit several other dogs, and ran through the country snapping at other things, but disappeared, no one knows how. <>< Trial” is the name of Mr. W.

It would seem to be a truth applicable by all, and especially by professors of the healing art, that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its symptoms, should be the chiefaim of medication. Yet in how many instances do we see this truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice. The reason that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is sue- cesstul in so nyany cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at- tributable to the fact that it isa medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various, maladies to which it is adapted. ndigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheuma- tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it, it cvex to the fountain head. It is really, not nominally, a radical remedy, and it endows the system with an amount of vigor which is its best protection against dis- case.

People often thinky-well, next year I will set out fruit jor shade trees, currents, raspberries, | grape vines, or something of the kind; but the proper season for doing it slips by | before they are aware of it, and the work |is deferred to the next year. This is de- signed as a reminder to any who may have had such good purpose. The time isat hand. Do you want fine fruit trees? Wim. R.

This paragraph is for the public good, not to benetit, especially, either Mr. Fra- ley or Mr. Murdoch, neither of whom know of it unless they happen to see it in this paper. Now is also a good time to start a wal- nut nursery, if you have the nuts at hand. Plow the ground deep and drop the nuts in rows. They do not require to be cov- ered with soil. All you need do fs to walk over them and press them down into the soft plowed ground.

Let every man or woman owning a piece of land plant a tree, vine or flower —something to care for and look after during the pleasent days of spring and summer. Time thus spent will amply repay in moral influence, though you may never taste the fruit or inhale the fra- grance of the flowers. — Ee Cea ee Eagle, The Mail Robber Caught. The readers of the WATCHMAN remem- ber the story of young Eagle’s many | “hair brexdth” escapes from the hands of of thelaw. He hasagain been caught, and this time with small hopes of escape. The following from the Charlotte Obser- ver tells the tale: e Special agent Troy, of the United States Postal Department, alighted from the Air Line train, upon its arrival in this city last night, with a youthful looking prisoner in handcuffs. The prisoner proved to be the lad Eagle, who robbed the mail between Salisbury and Albemarle, last summer. Eazle, it will be remembered, fled te the West, and was arrested, but while being brought back home, escaped from the cars, Special agent Troy captured him at Okolo- na, Mississippi. Eagle was placed in the jail here last night, where he will remain until the July term of the Federal court, when he will be tried betore Judye Dick. Jethro Almond, Eagle's accomplice in the robbery, was arraigned before Judge Dick, at the last term of the Federal court in this city, found guilty, and sent to the Albany penitentiary, where it is presumed Eagle will soon join him. _ AD ome An Engineer's Heart. Dr. Rumple, in illustrating a subject in his sermon on last Sunday morning told a touching story of how an engineer’s heart probably saved his life. “The inci- dent occurred on the Western North Carolinaroad. The engineer was bring- ing atrain down the mountains whe some distance ahead he sawa lamb on the track and its mother trying to get it off. But the lamb would not. The dis- tress of the mother became apparent as the train neared the spot and she did all she could to get the lamb off the track, but it would not leave the track. The heart of the engineer was touched and he stopped his train and sent the fireman forward toremove thelamb. It wasa kind act and showed a tender, gentle na- ture in the man of iron nerve. But just as he had started on his journey down the mountain and before he had gotten under way the engine slowly turned a curve and revealed a little distance ahead, obstructions onthe track which would /an easy matter to stop the train now, but j influential business men of Salisbury, and | had he not paused to savea helpless lamb | they deserve the thanks of the town for | tottering on the track, his own and other | their enterprise in going into an outside | lives might have been lost in the fright- | ful wreck which would have followed the | precipitation of the train to the bottom ‘of that deep ravine. | Loan Association met according to ap- | directors. feet in adreadful gorge below.

The next meeting of directors will be on Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. The regular place for taking weckly collections will be in the counting room of Kluttz’s drug store, which room hag also been tendered the Association, rent free. The first payments are to be made on Saturday the 6th of March. The hours selected by the Secretary are from 4 to 6 p. m.and (after tea) from 7 to 8 p.m. This isto be the regular order every week. So the Association is under head way. The WATCHMAN flings an old shoe, and leaves it to build up the waste places of the town. i> Florida Lots. Lots of our citizens are into the Florida lot trap. It was a cunningly devised trap, bated with orange groves and cheap, pleasant winter homes. It was a case of ask no questions. No one seemed to care to know anything more than the urban agent freely told. One man who says his wife had the fever in its worst form states his case so: I saw his advertisement in the New York World and I wrote him stating that I had clipped his advertise- ment out and enclosed he would find stamps for his book. In a few days I went down to the post office and there was a whole mail full of books, plats of lands and maps. I took ’em home and me and the old woman studied the thing out. The map was all marked up with green spots; they were sold you know. The old woman’s fever got hot- ter. Then the man pressed me. He said by the Ist of Feb., and after that date, land would go up to $20 a lot instead of the present price of $10 a lot. The old woman was terribly excited about it and es ae the lot. The man said if I-would select a lot number and if it is taken up when your letter gets here I will reserve you the one nearest to it. The lots are going off like hot cakes in the North. So I left home with the understanding that I was to get a lot that very day. But when I got up town I run across the ‘‘Florida fraud.’’ This made me slow up. I did not bite. Thinks I, I'll lay low to the old woman, and see what she will do. I folded up-the “Florida fraud” paper and stuck it in my coat. When I went home that night. the old woman said she had got her arrange- ments for startin’ pretty well u.der way. She had sold the cubbard to Mrs, ———., and had got a basque done all except the buttons. SaysI: what are you going to do with that basque? says she: I’m going to wear it to Florida, and there’s lots of things here we can sell to the neighbors, and—old woman, says I, just lemme read you a few p’ints. I read the “Florida fraud” to her plain and distinct and when I got through she jus theaved the awfullest sigh and said disappointed-like: “I reckon we wont go, old man.’’ I told her we would not. She was “hope up” in one respect when I told her Mrs. ., had bought the lot next the prospect presby- terian church. Then she kinder revived and said she could get the buttons for the basque any other time—’twant no hurry no way. Then I asked er if there was any hurry about the cubbard, and she—but you know about how it must have been. Cubbards are now never mentioned in the house for reasons best known to the family. ——- 0 ipo me Kansas. It may astonish readers in this section to learn that the comparatively new State of Kansas produces more wheat and corn than the State of Missouri; more than the famed grain growing State of Illinois; more than Towa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and more even than the great State of Texas, The total value of farm products, in Kansas in 1884, is officially given at $160,607.636. —____- +.

T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. Mr. Robert Shell, of Caldwell county reports the discovery of a rich mica mine, near Glenburnie, P. O. in that county. Winningham Mine. in Randolph county, owned by Messrs. Horne & Bartrum, has seen many changes for the better since they took hold. They started their new ten stamp mill under the most favorable circumstauces. The mine is said to be a perfect one in every respect. They patronized a North Caro- lina manufacturer—their mill being made by Mr. John Wilkes of Charlotte. ee The Uwharrie Mine, also of Randolph county, is being work- ed, and some ore has been shipped north recently, for what purpose it is not stated, but it ts said to be a fine mine. They are now making arrangements to put up all the necessary machinery for a first class mine, and it is to be put into practical operation at once. -<—> + __ -—_— Speoimens for Nat. Museum. Mr. J. J. Newman, of the Dutch Creek Mines, who never fails to respond when he can do anything for the good of the State, has sent to the WATCHMAN office 30 specimens of standard ores, from as many localities. This is an important work, and as it only costs the trouble of bringing the specimens to town, it is to hoped that others who would like for specimens of their ores to be shown in the National Museum at Washington will now bring them along, they will be forwarded free of charge. Remember that there is comparatively nothing from this State in the National Collection. : —_—~<oe -—— Shuford Gold Mine. The Shuford Gold Mine, in Catawba county, is likely to become active again. Superintendent Hyser has just returned from a trip North and has gone to the mine. His first work will be the ship- ping of the old hydraulic machinery formerly used back North, where it was sold for a fair price. He will then con- tinue prospecting for veins. The proper- ty was worked for a long time with profit as a placer, but the pond has filled up from the settlings of the often used water and the supply has been lost. The indi- cations point to veins rich in precious metal, and it is for these that search is to be made. The hill has been much work- ed in a petty way—‘trophered,” the min- ers call it—fora long time. The small pits were made in following rich seams of quartz. These holes or shafts are from 3 to 40 feet in depth, but are not protec- ted by the usual timbering. Mr. Iyser is also interested in a valuable property adjoining Hoover Hill, in) Randolph county, which will probably be opened this spring or summer. The Steele Mine. in Mongomery county, recently purchas- ed by some gentlemen from New York, has, under the influence of their money and cnergy undergone many changes for the better. A stamp mill is in course of erection, andit is expected that by the first of April it will be active. The mine is to be thoroughly equipped with improy- ed and necessary hoisting machinery, as well as appliances for treating the ore. I’ew mines have produced richer ore than the Steele. Ores worth as much as $2,500 to the ton has been taken from the mine. At onetime there wasa “seam” or “streak” in the lode which carried free gold nearly one-fourth of an inch thick. This was about the time the pro- perty was worked by Ex-State Treasurer, Jonathan Worth. The ore is of a com- plex character, and embraces free gold, galenite and the sulphides of copper and iron. The mine has not been worked to any great depth, and it is confidently ex- pected that very rich ore will be found below the old workings. 7 Se Coggin3 or Appalachian Mine, already mentioned in theSe columns, is one of the properties from which much is expected, It is in the hands of practical Englishnen who are determined to get all there is to be gotten by the most ap- proved methods. The property, from present indications, will astonish the mining world with its output, and tend to enhance interest in mining in this sec- tion. The ore body is immense. It is traceable for more than 2000 feet and is The oreisa talco-argillaceous slate and quartz, the latter predominating, encased in the Hu- ronian slates common to the district. Tests on both stamps and chillian mills show a high average, reaching some- times, $25 to $28 tothe ton. The deepest shaft is but 70 feet, and neither of the other two exceed 50 fect in depth, but all show the same quality and quantity of ore. With eveu these shallow shafts, the amount or ore in sight is very large, and were it only worth from five to eight doliars to the ton it would be a veritable bonanza. Prospectors have discovered two other veins of great richness parallel to the main lode, one carrying free gold visible to the natural eye. Improved hoisting works have been erected, and also, some dwellings for miners, smithing shops, &c. The main or 70 foot shaft, is Leing sunk, and when sufficient depth has been attained levels will be run in two directions for the pur- pose of demonstrating the strength and continuity of the lode at such depth. The company have provided for the erection of a 40 stamp mill. This is hard- ly adequate for the amount of ore to be worked. 250 stamps would come nearer filling the bill.

Highest market WASHINGTON LETTER. {From Our Regular Correspondent.] WASHINGTON, March 15, 1886. Conzress is deyoting itself to polities now instead of business. The discussion between the Senate and the Administra— tion, foreed by the Republican caucus resolutions on offi-ial papers, beans to day, An exciting dcbate is expected, and the Senate gallerics will be crowded so long as the fight lasts, When the discussion is fairly under way, Senator Morgan will complicate matters by cailing up his own independent resolu- tions to the cffect that the whole procceding is out of order. The Edmand’s resolu— tions should not have been received. The only leszal procedure ter the Jadiciary Committee was to have sumnioned Attor— ney General Garland before the bar of the Senate, aud to have impeached this alleced violator of law, who rciused to give up his private papers. A number of Repndlican Senators do not follow Mr. Edmund's lead in this matter with much zeal. It is pretty well under- stood that the Vermont statesmen made this “much ado sbont nothing” because there was not much to do about anything and be was under the necessity of 1m press- urg the Vermont Republicans with his greatness aud indispeusability. The Ver- mont legislature, which clects a U. S. Sen- ator to fill the seat now occupied by this would be chieftain, is to be chosen next fall, Until then Mr. Edmunds may be ex- pected to be as offersively prominent in the Senate as pussible. He wants to stay in Washington, where he has just built a superb residence, and be has reason to fear the Green Mountain boys are arranging his retirement to private life when his present term expires. The Louse of Representatives, this weck, docs not offer such attractions to visitors as the Senate, Nothing but silver may be heard from it forsometime. The financial debate begining there regularly to nurrow, Ten days have Been sct apart for the sub- ject and sixty members have prepared specchcs on it. At the close of this discus- sion the House will refuse to suspend the silver coinage by an overwhelming vote, and that is all that this forth-coming elo- quence will accoynplish. If all this time and talk could be given to an issue that promised results, it would be well enough, but it is azreed all around that this debate will lead to nothing in the way of legisla- tion and that not a single vote will be changed by the talk. The Telephone affair has taken a party turn in the House. The Hanback and Pulitzer resolutions of inquiry into the Pan Electric has becn met by another set of resolutions under Democratic management, asking for a broader and more thorough investization, an investigation of newspa- pers as well as officials. Conzressman Gibson, of West Virginia, opposed the investigation on the ground that there was nothing to investigate in as much as no charge had been nade avainst Attorney General Garland or other officials who are alleged to be implicated. “Why,” said he, “what will the committee report? will they report that the gentlemen got stock without paying for it? who will say that was wrone? I see men all around me who hold railroa: stock and national bank stock voting with the stock in their pockets, and no outcry is made against it. Mr, Gibson also attacked Representative Pulitzer, of the N.Y. World, who, he said, instead of making complaint against the Attorney General in an open, manly way like a Representative should have done, had retreated behind the irresponsible col- umns of hts newspaper to crente a scandal. Mr. Gibson conceded that the idea was to talking.

The Washington correspondent of the Messenger says: Senator Ransom and Representative Reid have secured the appointment of Prof. Pendleton King, of Guilford county, author of the President's pices hy and a trav- elled and accomplished gentleman, to be secretary of legation at Constanti- nople. The salary is #1,800, and there are some perquisities. Thus another important diplomatic position will be secured for North Carolina. Prof. King studied for three years years In France and Germany. He speaks Ger- man and French fluently. Prof. King is brother of State Senator King and Maj. Robert King, of Guilford, and of solicitor W. W. King, of Stokes county. —~--—__— Candor on Both Sides. One of his acquaintances whom a Statesville man may meet in Washing- ton City, is Burt. Thomas, a bright colored and bright-minded mulatto boy who was raised here and who is known to everybody. He is making Wash- ton his home, and recently he called on Congressman Henderson and asked him to get an office for him. “Are you a Demoerat or a Republican?” in- quired Mr. Henderson. “I can’t tell ou a lie, sir,” answered Burt.; “I am fenablican’? “Well, then, Burt.,” said Mr. Henderson, “I can’t tell you a lie. I can't get you an office.”—Landmark. es Fire in Davie. On Saturday, February 20th at one o'clock p. m., while the wind was at its highest, the dweHing of Mr. J. M. Tekno Esq., of Farmington canght fire in the comb of the building. It was not discovered until too late to be put out and in a few minutes it laid in ashes; also the office building a few steps from the house. Several out buildings caught fire repeatedly but with much difticulty were saved. A majority of the furniture was saved but in a damaged condition. Loss $500, no iusurance. Mr. John- son returns his warmest thanks to friends who were present and assisted in saving the household furniture and especially to those who took their posi- tion on top of the several buildings that repeatedly caught. His son Willie returned to his old home just in time to see it burned down.—Darie Times. ee Value of Home Papers. From the Wilmington Star. Iet the papers of North Carolina cease to publish for six months and force the people to rely upon the great luminaries of New York and other the people. A vast amount of murders, rapes, arsons, political and personal scandals, and news from the old world at large would be obtained, and some able discussions of many topics in addi- tion, but there would be no home or State news, and our people would know absolutely nothing of each other. It would bea bad exchange to give up State papers, poor as they may be re- garded by Yankeeized newspapers of other States. Our public institutions would soon languish, State pride would peter out, and North Carolinians would soon become no better than New York- ers. But the suspension of the whole State press for six months would have one admirable result—it would make the people of North Carolina better ap- preciate and more liberally sustain home papers. a _ Temper at Home. I have peeped into quiet “parlors,” where the carpet is clean and not old, and the furniture polished and bright; into “rooms” where the chairs are neat and the floor carpetless; into “kitchens” where the family live and the meals are cooked and eaten, and the boys and girls are as blithe as the sparrows in the thatch over head, and I see that it is not so much wealth and learning, nor clothing, nor servants, nor toil, nor idleness, nor town, nor country, nor station, as tone and temper that ren- der homes happy or wretched. And I see, too, that in town or country, good sense and God's grace make life what no teachers or accomplishments, or means or society can make it—the opening stave of an everlasting psalm; the fair beginning of an endless exis- tence; the goodly, modest, well pro- porous vestibule to a temple of i0d’s building that shall never decay, wax old, or vanish away.—Dr. Ju, n Hall. A Young Lady’s Idea of Marriage. Here is an extract from the writings of Charles Reade, which will doubtless be read with general interest: “So she was going to be married! to be mistress of a house, settle in London; to be able to go out in the streets all alone, to shop or visit; have a gentleman all her own, whom she could put her finger on any moment, and make him take her about, even to the opera and the thea- tre; to give dinner parties her own self, and even a little ball once in a way; to buy whatever dresses she thought pro- r, instead of being crippled by an al- lowance; have the legal nght af speak- ing first in society, instead of sitting mum-chance and mock-modest; to be mistress instead of miss—contemptible title; to be a woman instead of a girl and all this rational liberty, domestic power, and social dignity were to be obtained a merely wedding a dear fel- low who loved her, and who was so nice; and the bright career to be usher- ed in with several delights, each of if one was changing her body, or hemisphere instead of her Dane Be to church, which is a good English girl's theatre of display and temple of vanity, and there tasting delightful publicity and whispered admiration, in a heavenly long veil, which she could not wea- even once if she remain \ single,” cities. and see how it would fare with |J them dear to a very soul; presents from | all our friends; as many new dresses as! What a Jump. A propos of the jumping mania a discussion arose between a number of athletes, Friday, could jump i agility in proportion to the way a flea is according to size. One thought he as to how far a man # he were blessed with might stand at the court house door and jump to the tanyard, a distance of a mile. The mathematical member ciphered out that an average man is equal in bulk to 20,000:000 fleas and, allowing the average ie of a flea to be 3 feet, a man, by exhibiting agility equal to that of a flea, could jump 10,- 000 miles, or, with a hop, skip and a jump, go ‘round the world.—Lenior Tope. ee A Strange Case. Wil. Star: Mrs. J. C. Williston, a highly re- spectable woman of Cleveland, Ohio, was very ill and was supposed by the physicians to have cancer of the stom- ach. This was the opinion of physi- cians of eminence. She left home visiting many springs in Idaho and Arizona. She became very ill at Tuc- son, where a Papago Indian—a “medi- cine man”—sa ¥ her and gave her some herbs to chew. telegraphed the sequel to the New York Times: “They made her deathly sick, so much so that she almost died from fright, thinking that she had been poisoned. The result, after a few hours was the emission of a dead lizzard that was fully four inches in length. It was apparently of a species common to the East, but how it had managed to live for so many years was the mystery. Mrs. Williston says that but one expla- nation occurs to her, which is that when a child, living at Phillipsburg, N. J., she and her brother were accustom- ed to drink from a little brook that ran near the house.” Pe gig eee Florida: Some Oranges Left. The annual meeting of the Florida State Press Association was held at Gainesville, Fla., Feb. 12. Representa- tives were present from all parts of Florida, and resolutions were adopted giving the following as a correct state- ment of the extent of the damage done in Florida by the recent cold weath- er: First—That in consequence of the exceeding low temperature the larger part of the fruit remaining on the trees was frozen. Second—That bearing trees and trees which were ina healthy condition re- ceived no injury, although losing their leaves, and are already budding, with promise of fair.crop for the present year. Third—That while trees in more northern counties are not as advanced in budding out, it is believed that in no portion of the orange-growing re- gion of Florida have the trees received any material damage. Fourth—That it has been demon- strated that orange trees can sustain a much lower degree of cold than has been heretofore supposed, giving re- newed assurance of safety and fara. bility of the orange-growing interests of the State. ee The Chinese to Play ‘‘Tit for Tat.” The Chinese government, it is said, proposes now to retaliate upon us for the persecutions to which the Celestials have been subjected in this country. Nothing less than an Imperial Procla- mation is being circulated through the country, requiring that on or before the fifteenth day of the fifth moon of the present year (May 15) all subjects of the ‘Tai Tszing Empire (China) now residing in the United States of America return home, and instructing them that upon application to their consuls free transportation be provided from any part of the United States to any part of the Chinese empire, except the provinces of Tuong Tung, whose citizens because of superior numbers, are required to pay half fare. This proclamation, which we suppose is a document as big as all out-of-doors and red as a house atire, embodies no threats, but intimates broadly, it is reported, that speedy retaliation is to be had on the American export trade and Ameri- can residents in China for the outrages on Chinese that we have permitted. If the report be true there will be seri- ous business for us. The export trade referred to is worth $80,000,000 annu- ally, and there are 9,000 Americans in China to be exposed to the horrors of Imperial persecution. We could of course enforce terms eventually, but there would be a frightful murder of innocents and a very serous in,u'y to trade before we could do so. We therefore hope the story of the procla- mation isa hoax. ‘there are 80,000 Chinamen in this country.— News-Ob- server. ——__—_~<o Good Fruit Pays. The value of a crop of fruit depends more upon its quality than its quantity. No matter how large the general fruit crop may be, nor how heavily the mar- kets may be “glutted,” good fruit will always sell readily, and at fair prices. Nor can there be a surplus grown. If &|not sold immediately the crop may be dried, evaporated or canned, for there will arrive a time when such will be in demand. Too much fruit has not yet been produced during any season. When the blackberry was made a cul- tivated crop it was predicted that, as the fence corners and abandoned loca- tions had always afforded a supply, the introduction of large quantities of the cultivated kinds would render prices too low to realize profits, but as the crops were increased the berries were improved, and a demand was created that grew with the supply, the conse- quence being that although carloads are shipped to our large cities during the fruit season, the prices have been higherthan at any previous time. The same rule applies to other fruit crops. As the supply increases fruit growers endeavor to advance pri r - ing the size and quality of the fruit. In venturing upon fruit , the vari- ties giccealt sould be those beat adapt- ed to the climate in which they -are to be u some varieties while the character , 2 portant factor also.

Like every other pursuit, labor is neces- sary. Preventing insect depredations and pruning at the right moment call for good judgment and careful atten- tion.—Day Star. — Persons sometimes get answers they don’t expect, even from children. On of them was questioning a Sunday. school class about the man who fell a- mong thieves on the way from Jerusalen to Jericho. Bringing the story toa point he asked: “Now, why did the and Leyite pass on by the other side?” A scholar Feld out his hand. “Well, my boy, why did the priest and Levite ass on by the other side?” “T know,” said the lad, “because the man was al- ready robbed.” “I wish you would renew this note. My father will endorse for me,” said a Texas youth to Mose Schaumburg. “Ven. a fader has got no more sense than to endorse for such @ son as you vas, vat segurity is dot for me ? ot. shows dot your fader vas a block of the young chip.’—-Texas Siftings. Whatever you do, do it cheerfully. A boy that is whipped at school never learns his lesson well. A man that ir compelled to work cares not how badly it is performed. He who pulls off his coat cheerfully, strips up his sleeves in earnest, and sings while he works, is the man to succeed. CE SE THE GRAPE CURE.

Philad lphra Record, Dem. Senator Evarts contended that under the blanket clause of the Constitution, authorizing Congress to lay taxes to “pro- vide for the general welfare” it was the right and duty of the Federal Govern- ment to make provision for education. Under this loose interpretation of the Constitution there is scarcely @ purpose under the sun for Which Congress cannot appropriate money with the plea that it is for the “general welfare senator Ingalls, of Kansas, in an able apeech maintained, on the other hand, that under no construction of the Consti- tution bad popular education been con- sidered a part of the duty of the General Government. Among the enumerated powers of Congress the care of education is nowhere to be found But even if the Constitution contained the dormant and sleeping powers claimed for it by the ad- yocates of this bill, the practical question was why this power should be evoked. senator Ingalls eloquently warned the South not to be unjust toward itself in ac- cepting this tempting gift from the Fed- eral Treasury. He regarded the prone- ness to call on the Greneral Governmect for agsistance on every occasion as a most distressing symptoin of a want of self-re- liance. The same wide difference which these wpeeches betray in the Republican party exist also among the Democrats. These differences began with the origin of the Government. Almost in the first Congress the attempt was made to destroy the Consti- tution by the same love interpretation of (ts apiret that 18 giren by the advocates of the Blair bill, but the Jeffersonian Democrats saved the Constitution by a strict construc- tion of its provisions. The same conflict saddest of all; shut up in some poor- has been going on ever since. Among the } § 8 5 most active supporters of this bill are Southern Senators and members of Con- | gress, who are at no loss for arguments to | justify the appropriation of so vast a sum of public money. But the mere fact that a man labels himself a Democrat ix no styn nowadays that he has any respect for tradt- house or jail, with the spark of intelii- gence everand anon flickering into life, only to be quenched at last in ab- solute dementia. Who can say how many absolutely sane minds, surroun- ded by the depressing influences ac- companying such alms houses—the coarse food and rough clothing, the want of congenial society, the depriva- tion of moral means of stimulating the | intellect, and exercising the taste, the hopeless nature of the life—who, I re- peat, can say how many minds abso- lutely sane, but accompanied by bo- dies enfeebled by disease, have given way, under the dead weight of an eternal, a never varying depression! Strong indeed must be the intellect that would not grow morbid, and fin- ally escape by some delusion, from the slings and arrows of a weary world, into some fancied world of its own. * * * To save such tottering victims, to bring them within reach of hope and social recognition again; to surround them with the moral and ma- terial blessings they have once enjoyed, to chase away the phantoms keginning tu invade their lonely hours with gns- ly faces of horror, and to inspire them with courage to fight the battles of ‘life once more—surely, this is worth the difference between asylum treat- meut and alms-house care—surely any enlightened and honorable people will be quick to sanction any reasonable jexpenditure in their power which will * * * effect such a result. The reports of past years are filled with appeals to those who have the care of the insane, to bring them for- ward for treatment while still acute and curable, rather than to delay until tional Democratic principles. On this ques- | tion, at least, Senator Ingalls has ap- | proved himself a much better Democrat than some so-called Democrats in- the Senate. If the Blair bill were not ac- companied by a large donation from the Federal Treasury how vigorously would its Democratic supporters denounce it as an invasion of the domestic affairs of the several States! But the fact that it makes an appropriation of the seventy-seven million dollars is the potential argument in its favor that overwhelins all other considerations. Most Southern Representatives, how- ever, agree with Senator Hariis, of Tenn, that Federal power should never be exert- ed ina State for the purpose of interfer- ing with its domestic athirs, and that each State is the best judge of its own educational interests. These Representa- tives fear the Greek even with their gifts from the Federal Treasury. Whenever the General Government takes in hand the work of popular education the inter- est of the States in the cause will be re- laxed. At the end of the seven vears it will be necessary to go to the Federal Treasury for more and still greater appro- priations, in consequence of the neglect of the States, and the final result will be the absolute control of the public schools of all the States by the General Govern- ment. From this the step to other and greater encroachments of Federal power will be easy and sure. When the States are willing to abandon an important function under the tempting lure of a Treasury appropriation, the same bait will induce them to surrender all others, until they lapse into the mere dependents upen the Federal bounty. Then the work of centralization will have been accom- plished, and the States, bereft of all rights and responsibilities of self-govern- ment, will cease to exist except as geo- graphical expressions. ee ps North Carolina Insane. ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SUPERINTEN- DENT OF THE ASYLUM. Dr. Eugene Grissom, Superintendent of the North Carolina Insane Asylum has issued his annual report. it is an exceedingly interesting paper, and is of sufficient public interest to Justify reproducing parts of it. The report instructive, but space forbids so lengthy a sketch. On- ly occasional paragraphs are given. whole would be our It has been our painful duty to re- reject a large number of applications for the admission of chromic cases of long standing, and considered to be hopeless, so far as reasonable expecta- tion of cure is concerned. Fhis course was forced upon us, to prevent the re- jection of acute cases equally merito- rious, and giving promise of lm prove- ment and cure. So long as the pres- ent demand upon our limited aecommo- dations continues, there is no alterna- tive but to adhere to this policy, as it is the only method of fultilling the de- sign of the State, not only to assume the custody of the insane, but to. re- lieve them from affliction and restore them to society. : a * The consideration of this problem may be pushed aside for the moment. but is sure to recur. These unfortu- nates are here, and to stay. Somebody must feed and clothe and care for them. They eannot be exterminated like wild beasts. They eannot be left to perish in a Christian land. Citizens of North Carolina must bear North Carolina's burden of this weight upon civilization and progress. Individuals must do it, in the-separate cases scattered over our domaig, with irregular and often inju- dicious expenditure of money, time and human life. Not unoften does the pa- rent or child follow the very victim for whom he has sacrified fortune and health in the vain hope to relieve. * * Nor are the advantages for classifi- cation to be overlooked, and the spee- dy transfer to suitable wards, of those regarded as chronic insane upon admis- sion, but who may nevertheless be won back to recovery through judicious the disease hus become chromic and hopeless of improvement. And_ yet, | how often the history is repeated that application for admission is delayed until the friends of the patient have exhausted every effort at control, and the disease has passed its early stages; and the patient has become intolerable to the family or the community, and has to be removed for safekeeping. or (to prevent the utter ruin of those upon whom the care devolves. Another subject of im portance to the pubhe welfare is the consideration of the disposition of the criminal in- sane, The repeated decisions of the courts sending persons accused of grave crimes to this institution, upon a ver- dict of insanity, are gradually filling our wards with cases that are unfit to be associated with the virtuous insane, and at the same time the room occu- pied to the exclusion of meritorious ci- tizens who are in no way connected with the calendar of crime, and who. if thus deprived of treatment, might steadily return to the useful and valua- ble course of life which now know them no more. 3 i. * The frequent adinission of persons acquitted of grave crimes on the gen- eral plea of insanity. is subjecting pa- tients of pure and moral lives to asso- ciations utterly distasteful and degra- ding, besides in many cases introducing persons into our wards, through the zeal of friends and ingenuity of coun- sel, wom we cannot believe to be in need of the medical treatment admin- istered here. ; It cannot be doubted that the estab- lishment of proper quarters for the criminal insane within the hmits of the Penitentiary would tend to dimin- ish the burdens of the courts, remov- ing, as it would, practical immunity from punishment which certain classes of offenders are now quick to invoke, in the belief that a brief stay at the Asylum may be a substitute for a pro- longed detention in the Penitentiary, or worse. But whatever may the views which policy would suggest, it is unde- miable that the State has no more right to place the insane homicide, or thiefyor burglar, in daily and hourly intercourse in the same ward, and at the same table, with the virtuous in- sane, than a private’citizen would en- joy. What man would be willing for che test to be applied to his own house- hold. This separation is enforced by most civilized nations, and is urgently call- ed for, to preserve the standard of the Asvlum as a hospital for disease purely and not for a refuge for crime, or a re- formatory for the wicked. This regu- lation of the criminal insane to a pro- per ward in the hospital of the Peni- tentiarv, would go far to relieve our judicial system of some anamalies, not to say abuses; and likewise relieve this institution of an incubus which steadi- ly impairs its intlnence for good. ~_—>-—- ———_ he The Senate Disgraced. The Republican Senators have open- ly proclaimed their purpose to reject nominations made by the President in eases where information as to the cause of removal of previous incumbents has been refused. The first victim of this spiteful policy is Mr. McGraw, nomi- nated to be a collector of internal rev- enue in West Virginia. There is no pretense that Mr. McGraw is unfit for the officé, and the sole ground for re- jecting him is Secretary Manning's re- fusal to furnish papers relating to the suspension of the former incumbent of the office. This is adistinct perversion of the Senate's power to “advise and consent’ to nominations. The obvious intent of the Constitution in conferr- ing that power was to secure the assist- treatment and unwearied attention.|ance of the Senate in the selection of The preseut history of this class is proper and fit public servants. and the only question before the body in this instance was: “Is Mr. MeGraw fit for the position to which the President has nominated him?” When the Senate put aside this question and rejected the candidate because its rights tg make in- que about another act of the Presi- ent was disputed, it descended to petty spite work and forfeited all right to public respect. But how about the other victim of the Republican Senators’ wrath. Why is an investigation of charges against | Mr. John Goode ordered at the request of Senator Edmunds? Doubtless | charges in abundance against any Vir- 'ginia Democrat are eagerly made by _Mahone’s disappointed followers, but ‘no attempt has hitherto been made to dignify ihe gossip by making it the pe some reason then for the selection of wrath of the Republican Senators. What is that reason? The Sun of a recent date professes to answer this | question. It says: Why does not the Senate committee on the judiciary give its real reason for refusing to recommend the contirma- tian of Hon. John Goode as Solicitor- General ? Goode will be rejected because of his connection with the Pan Electric scan- dal. Attorney-General Garland would be rejected for the same reason if his name vere now before the Senate. Is this true? speak with authority on this question. It is the principal organ of the West- ern Union and Bell Telephone Com- any’s attack on the administration. t is daily growing into closer relations with the Republican leaders in their assault upon the President. The Sen- ators selected to lead the attack on Mr. (Goode is Mr. Gould's former attorney, whose intimate relations with the Western Union millionaire were dem- onstrated in the early stages of the fraud of 1876. Mr. Edmunds, it must be remembered, was the man who put Mr. Gould’s private wire at the disposal of the conspirators to enable them to establish secret communication with General Grant at Philadelphia. The only incongruous element in the com- bination is the Sun, but then, as we have already pointed out, the ties that bind our contemporary to the great telegraph and telephone monopoly seem stronger than its prejudice against the conspirators of 1876, and have even been potent to stitle its familiar slogan, “Turn the rascals out.” There appears reason to believe, then, that the Siw speaks with authority when it declares that the true reason for this partisan attack on Mr. Goode is found in the fact he granted to the Pan Electric Company the right to use the name of the United States to bring a suit to test the validity of the Bell telephone patent. If such be the case, the once dignified United States Senate has been made by its Republican members not merely the instrument of petty partisan spite, but the tool of a giant monopoly s greed and revenge. ~ A Virginian’s Ho: pitality to the Confed- erate President. From the Philadelphia Times. Maj. Sutherlin furnished the Con- federate Presicent and his Cabinet a home during the few short hours that the capital of the fading government was at Danville. ‘The last time Mr. Davis's Cabinet was together was around his table. It was the day they left for Charlotte. During the dinner the question of the final dissolution of the Confederacy was canvassed and the prospects of getting out of the country were freely discussed. It was agreed that in case the worst came an effort should be made to reach the sea coast and there secure‘a vessel to take Mr. Davis and his Cabinet to some foreign port. The question of the ready means to pay for this service was also con- sidered, and each Cabinet oitcer be- gan to take an account of stock to se: how much gold or silver he could com- mand. Mr. Breckenridge had some- thing like $500 in gold, Mr. Reagan had something like the amount, and every one hada greater or smaller amount. Mr. Davis looked on in sil- ence at their investigations and was the last to speak. When the question was asked what his condition was he said: “Gentlemen, I have not a penny but Confederate money, and only the amount of my last months’ salary. which I drew the day before (General Lee's lines were broken.” Of course all were ready to divide with him, but when the dinner party was over Maj. Sutherlin’s wife, who had laid by an amount of specie, took a thousand dollars in gold and handed it to her husband, with the instruction to give itto Mr. Davis after he had left the house. But when they reach- ed the railroad and Maj. Sutherlin pressed the money upon the Confeder- ate chief, he returned it with a great show of feeling, saying: “No, I will not take it. Something may happen in which you will need it worse than I, but this evidence of de votion on the part of your wife touches me deeply. (God bless the women of the Confederacy!” Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions. and lost by one. basis of a congressional inquiry.

Mrs. Villard Refuses a Royal Request. From the Chicago Mail. | Mrs. Fanny Garrison Villard, the wife of Henry Villard, was recently ask- ed by the Crown Princess of Germany to take the part of an English barmaid at a fancy fair in which that lady was deeply interested. The Princess and Mrs V are on intimate terms, and the former meant to offer her friend a compliment by the invitation, not knowing that the daughter of William Lloyd Garn- son, like her father and brothers, is a total abstainer. Mrs. Villard, although conscious that requests of the royal family are considered commands, de- clined the intended honor. She ex- pressed her cheerful willingness to aid the fair, which was a charitable object | but not in that way. The Princess, on ‘learning the American lady’s feelings, | apologised. ‘Total abstinence in Berlin }or in any part of Germany, 1s so rare that nobody is ever suspected of being its advocate. ae The Clerk of the Supreme Court. Col. Thos. 8S. Kenan, of Wilson, has been appointed to fill the vacancy in the Clerkship of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, occasioned by the re- cent death of W. H. Bagley. Col. Kenan is in the prime of life— but 48 years of age—and is gifted with rare qualities of head and heart which have given him an enviable popularity throughout North Carolina. As Col- onel of the 48rd Regt. N.C. 5. T., he performed gallant service on the field during the late war, until he was gnev- ously wounded and taken prisoner on the field of Gettysburg. During all the severest struggles of the Democratic party from the days of reconstruction up to 1876, he never faltered or wear- ied on the canvass or hustings—an in- yalued campaigner and leader, unmov- ed by disaster or defeat. From 1876 to 1884 Col. Kenan filled with honor to himself and credit to the State the position of Attorney General, and the present nomination will doubtless meet the approval of both the party and the people.—Observer and Gazette. —_-<—>- - —__ —— A Short War Story. GENERAL STONEWALL JACKSON AND JU- BAL EARLY AT HARPER'S FERRY. Graham Davis in the Phila. Times. After the capitulation the Federal troops, numbering upwards of 13,000 men, were separated into several large bodies about the size of an ordinary brigade each, and it is quite possible that in the division their regular bri- gade organization may have been pre- served. ‘These several bodies of pris- oners where placed for greater secu- rity and ease of guarding and to facili- tate the paroling of them alternately between the different Confederate bn- gades. In this formation the whole captors and captives were lying on the side of a road leading into the village of Harper's Ferry on the afternoon of the day of the surrender. Suddenly tremendous cheering and yelling were heard coming from the nght, which were taken up rapidly and repeated down the line. “What isthe meaning of that?” rather nervously asked a Federal sol- dier of an officer of Branch’s North Carolina Brigade. “Oh, nothing,” replied the latter laughing; “it must be Stonewall Jack- son or a rabbit,” quoting a well known expression of the Confederates when accounting for an unusual commotion. Sure enough, upon looking up the road Gen. Jackson was seen approaching, riding very rapidly, alone, some dis- tance in advance of his staff officers. As he passed the Confederate com- mands they cheered him vociferously, to which he replied merely by a stiff military salute without checking his speed. When he approached the Fed- eral prisoners, to our surprise they grected him with cheers as enthusiastic as those of the Confederates. Instant- ly there was a change. Pulling his horse down toa walk, Gen. Jackson passed slowly down the line of prison- ers, acknowledging their cheers with low bows and with head uncovered. It was a gallant sight—this spontaneous outburst of admiration by gallant foe- man and its chivalric aknowledgment. Possibly some of the Federal soldiers then present may recall the scene. Of a very different character was the reception of a Confederate officer by Gen. Jubal A. Early a short time ch ter. Gen. Early had been left in com- mand to complete the paroling of pris- oners, removal of supplies, etc., and had issued orders strictly forbidding any one to go into Harper's Ferry. The pee was filled with supplies of all inds, and many anxious and longing looks were cast in that direction by hungry Confederates. At last a num- . ber of officers determined to try to get ‘permission to go into the town, and selected by lot one of their number to “bell the cat.” This officer approached Gen. Early and saluted. “What do you want?” said the Gen- eral, not very graciously. “I came,” replied the officer, “to ask permission for myself and my brother officers to go into Harper's Ferry.” “H-’m-m,” growled the General, “you know the orders, sir, do you not?” “Yes, General, but—” “What is your rank and branch of the service?” interrupted the General, rather irrascibly. “Captain and quartermaster,” return- ed the officer. The General eyed him for a moment with a look that made the officer feel that charging a battery single handed would Nee teen a relief, and said as he turned away: “My God! I thought so. Oh, yes, of course! Go ‘long, sir; go ‘long, go ‘long ?” Well to Remember. That cheerfulness is the weather of the heart. . That sleep is the best stimulant, a nervine safe for all to take. That it is better to be able to say no than to be able to read Latin. That cold air is not necessarily pure nor warm air necessarily impure. That acheerful face is nearly as good for an invalid as healthy weather. That there are men whose frends are more to be pitied than their ene- mies. That advice is like castor-oil, easy enough to give, but hard enough to take. That wealth may bring luxuries, but that luxuries do not always bring hap- piness. That great. temples are built of small stones, and great lives made up of small events. That nature is a rag merchant who works up every shred and part and end into new creations. That an open mind, an open hand, and an open heart, would everywhere find an open door. That it is not enough to keep the poor in mind, give them something to make them keep you in mind. That men often preach from the housetops while the devil is crawling into the basement window. That life’s real heroes and heroines are those who bear their own burdens bravely and give helping hand to those around them. That hasty words often rankle in the wound which injury gives, and that soft words assuage it; forgiving cures, and forgetting takes away the scar. —_——-a-— Beautifying the Home. We have lately been reading a new edition of a work entitled “Beautiful Homes,” now published by John D. Alden, which seems to us to supply just the information needed by people owning small grounds and having mod- erate incomes who desire to do some- thing in the way of improving their surroundings. ‘The work contains 11+ formation and instructions on all such subjects as the laying out of roads and walks, lawns and flower gardens, the arrangement of dwellings, out-build- ings and fences, the renovation of old places, plans of residences and grounds, the best trees, shrubs and vines to plant and how to plant them, the cost of these improvements and many par- ticulars in regard to these matters which every one desires to know. _ It shows how people who live in suburb. n towns or country villages and own a limited amount of land can have many of the finer pleasures of rural life at a small expense. The author is a practi- cal landscape gardner, and his rules and suggestions are given in a plain, com- mon-sense way that every one can un- derstand. ‘The work is free as possible of technical terms, and is so interspers- ed with glimpses of sunny homes, flow- ers and trees, and other pleasant feat- ures of happy country homes, that il can be read with pleasure and profit even by those who have no particular interest of the object of the work it- self. We heartily wish that this book, or one like it, might tind its way into every country home.

Coli Jones, of the Charlotte @bserver, repubjished Senator Vance’s letter to the WATCHMAN, denying the charge of nepo- tism gad correcting the statement Row goinggthe rounds of the radical press. It Te cit htrank statemet of facts, but Col. Jones does not seem to have been satisfied with it. He took occasion to sir higpelfin all the glory of one of his ne gléf édiforials, which was brim full of the big “I” and running over with paragrapical superfluity. If the effort was meant for humor it was fairly suc- cessful since it,has caused many smiles. Dut if it was meant as an animadversion upon Senator Vance’s course as a repre- sentative of the people in the National Congress, its success was by no means so flattering. What does the paragrapher aay of Mr. Vance ?—read : ‘He has set bimself up as a dictator in North Carolina.” That is a serious charge. Its a new ¢aper for plain honest Zeb Vance to be cutting. “How has he set himself up? Where has he placed his dictatorial throne? Who are they [that bow down and submit to his dictations? The people who love and‘honor this man, who stood by them in times of devastating war, lending” All his energies to their comfort and protectionzand who fought with them in the more humiliating struggles of the bitter reconstruction period, want to know something more than can be found ina paragraphic dogma, even though it emanates from Col. Jones’ paper. Again the paragrapher says: “No man can be a dictator in North Carolina.” This is tho ’most correct saying in all his array of paragraphic promulgations. The sentiment is readily assented to by all thinking people. It seems to be a real gein in a cheapsetting. The WaTtcu- MAN does not believe that Senator Vance aspires to any such mythical position; it does hot believe that he would accept it if it existed in reality, nor does it know aman better fitted to fill such a position did it exist. IIe knows our people and their wants; he was brought up with them and is one of them. The para- gtapher’s big “I”? crops out here, read : “We have done more, said more, and written more for him than any other fifty politicians in the State.” That is a-rather sweeping statement. It may betrue. We hope it is for Col. Jones’ sake. The politicians seem to be an indolent lot. Thatstatement reminds one of the girl who was vain about her foot. She wanted anew pair of shoes. The clerk fh'the store showed her a half pumber la#ger than the size she called for. She put iton, not without some Giffculty, and exclaimed: Just look, its @ mile too big! But all this is innocent enough, and must he gratifying to Col. Jones, even if he did have to tell it on himself. Further on the paragrapher quotes from Senator Vance’s letter to the WATCHMAN as follows: “Gov. Vance, in his letter published elsewhere, says: ‘My son Charlie is my clerk, a very cenfidential position, and is id about $6.00 per day, whilst Congress in session only.” Col. Jones then shows that (. N, Vance was paid certain amounts by the Secretary of the Scnate for services es janitor of the Senatc, xfter the adjournmegt of Congress in March, 1885. The inference is that the Senator made a false or iuaccurate statement. There is nothing contrylictory in Mr. Vance’s statement. Look at it, read it again, What does it mean? Why simply that Charlie Vaace draws pay from the goy- ernment for his services as clerk to his father only‘§#hilé Congress is in session. If he is paid Wheg Congress is not in ses- sion for being clerk, the money comes from the pockét of his father and not from the goverament. It seems that last year, young Vance found something to do—janitor of the Senate—while Congress was not in ion. What these duties were, we do not know, but the amounts received by him for such service are duly reported and pybtished by the Secretary of the Senate in his expense account. Does that mean that Charlie Vance drew $6.00 a day in addition, as clerk to his father, or does it mean that his father did not tell the truth when he said hisson omy drew pay as his clerk during the sessions‘ of Congress? It can hardly be strained into such a construc- tion. But Col. Jones proceeds, display- ing a bong account of expenditures made by W. M. Hoffer, in 1884, “toshow some- thing of the character of many of the expenditures of the Senate.” To this he ea)ls the attention of the tax-payer, which is exagtly right. Ifa reduction of expen- sea can be accomplished by exposing the accounts of the officers of the Senate, why show them up, But is it not mani- festly unfair to tack such an account to | tie tail end of an editorial on the “Vance Family”? Does it not in this way leave an infegence that they are responsible ? Here is as “We never ‘favor of him,” Never, not ‘hinted? Nor had friend to hint ? How about the mint? When the @dtratter of the people's representatiy iled it ‘should be by those who haya right to speak by virtue of their unchanging and faultless political record, Theresh nad be no dark splotch- es on his paftica escutcheon.

He had beem in bad health for some time, caused by # wound Lreccived in the Jate war. His end came suddenly at last, or at a moment not ex- pected. The death of Mr. Miller creates a Va- cancy in the Senate, which will be tem- porarily filled by an appointment of the Governor until the meeting of the Cali- fornia legislature, Mr. Miller was a Re- publican and it is thought the Governor will appoint a Democrat to fill the va- cancy. ae eee Lynched. \. A. Witcher, a man of some note in West Virginia, was hung by a mob, Mareh 6, for the murder of his wife. He had been married five times. Two of his wives left him and two others died. The fifth one he murdered and for that he was lynched. A A Labor Strikes. The Knights of Labor claim to havea membership in the United States and Canada of 850,000, and the number is still increasing. Strikes for higher wages pre- vail in many parts of the country just now, and the order in some places, is forming political organizations for the purpose of combating the aggressions of capital on the rights of labor. The strikes do not seem to be by concert, but grow out incidentally from local causes under the maxims and teachings of the Order. merino b> a Grape Growing—National Association. There is to be held at Washington City, in May next, a convention of grape growers and wine-makers, for the purpose of organizing a national assocition in the interest of these industries. It is also proposed to hold in connection with the convention an exposition of American wines and other products of the grape. An address issued by those engineering this movement shows that the grape can bo successfully grown on lands not suit- ale for general agricultural purposes, and may be made a profitable industry in almost all parts of the country. The experiments made in North Caro- lina and Virginia have been highly satis- factory, and the business has increased very rapidly in the last few years. aa > >a Letter Envelopes Must Go. There has just been put in operation 157 William Street, N. Y., a factory for manufacturing sheets of Letter and Note paper, so that every sheet will be its own envelope, thus saving the expense and trouble of a separate envelope. This is done by gumming certain parts of the sheet so that when it is folded it is secure- ly sealed and complete. This, we conceive, is getting back to old plans, the only material difference being the use of zum for sealing, instead of wafers and wax. The patented article has a margin to turn down, and a flap, somewhat similar to the envelopes, and while it may save a little time to those who haye many letters to write, it is of no consequence to those whose corres- pondence is small. The old method of folding and backing on the same sheet is coming in fashion again, which, it must be admitted, is a good thing to save ex- pense and relieve mail bags of unneces- sary weight. : en seem Warm Springs. The Warm Springs has been purchased by the “Southern Improyement Com- pany,” an organization devoted to the development and improvement of certain classes of Southern enterprises, and the money—$100,000—has been paid through Dayis & Wiley’s bank. Mr. A. H. Bran- son of Philadelphia is President of the Company, and the purchase money has been paid to Col. Jas. H. Rumbough. This sale was made through Mr. J. Tiernan, who examined and reported on the pro- perty. The hotel and improvements going up are to cost more than $100,000 more. They are building sixteen new marble baths, to be lined with North Carolina marble, and in addition are building a swimming bath 100 feet in diameter. Mr. Win. Murdoch has been engaged and has gone up. He will lay out drives, ete. The outlook for the western part of the State was never brighter, as this and other enterprises not yet given to the public will show. ~~ ame An Undemocratic Measure. The Blair Educational bill has passed the Senate by a vote of 36 yeas to 11 nays, We regret to see that among the thirty-six were sixteen Democrats. That Senators from Arkansas, Louisiana, Georgia and | Florida should vote forthe bill is not sur- | prising. Ever since the civil war there has been a manifest tendency among Demo. Crats in those States to weaken the Opposi- tion the party has heretofore made to the centralizing theories of government. It is a matter, however, for surprise that Senators from North Carolina, Mississippi Tennessee and Kentucky should voted with the Republicans in favor of a measure based on the Republican idea of the powers of the federal government. There is certainly no reason why the repre- sentatives of Tennessee and Kentucky should share the feeling which appears to influence some southern men, That feeling is that the North, including the northern Democrats, assisted in destroying the south- ern theory of States’ rights in the ciyil war, and that therefore the South is now at liberty to make whatever profit it can out of the application of the Opposite theo- ry. There were also personal reasons for supposing that the Senators from North Carolina and Mississippi would Oppose such a suicidal programme. We have no doubt that all four of these gentlemen know that the bill as passed is in absolute violation Constitution, They doubtless feared that the eager demands of their constituents for the distribution uf money provid the bill. yp ed for by __ The vote on the bill was a light ene, but Hu it is to be tuken as an indivation of the senlimcat of » full Senate, more than two- | [thirds of the members are committed to Senator Miller of California, died at, have | of the Democratic interpretation of the]. they would risk their seats if they opposed | the scheme.

They have never accepted the theory that the rights of the States were lost in the great con- flict. On the contrary they made so satis- factory and successful a tight tor the main- tenance of those rights that the South owes it to them that it is to day represented in Congress by its natural leaders, We hope that these men, at Icast, will have the cour- aye to stand by the principles that Democ- racy represents, The bill as it has passed the Senate Is a defiance of Democratic prin- ciples by the Republicans, who have always opposed them. It is a betrayal of them by Democrats who forget that their own pres- ence in public life is duc to the sucecsstul assertion of the constitutional rights of the States by the northern Democrats, to whose lips they are now pressing this cup of Re- publican poison. The Star sees no hope, however, that the bill can be defeated in the House of Repre- sentatives. The demoralizing influences that have forced it through the Senate are potent at the other end of the Capitol. Republican aggressiveness, reenforced by Democratic treachery, will pass the bill. Our only hope rests on President Cleveland's courage, Democracy and devotion to his oath to support the Constitution as be has been trained to understand and interpret it. As the representative of the whole purty he can defeat this measure, or should the de moralization have gone so far that his veto can be overridden, he can at leust save the Democratic party from the everlasting re- proach of complete complicity in so dan- gerous an assault upon its principles.—New York Star. Passed the Senate. All men who revere principle and regard the Constitution should hold in’ all) honor those Southern Senaters who remained faithful to the organic law ard were unse- duced by the proposition to make a raid upon the public treasury to the amount of seventy-seven million dollars. All honor, say we, to Coke, Cockrell, Gray, Harris, Maxey and Wilson! Senators Beck, Sauls— bury, Butler, Vest and Morgan are known to be opposed and all or nearly all have spoken against it. We record with exceed: ing pleasure that there are cieven Southern Seators who show that they are ready to stand by the limitations of the Constitution and to dure to do right whatever may be the infatuation of the people for the time being. Those who live through the cen- tury will have cause, we fear to turn) back in sorrow to 1886 when the plain teachings of the Constitution were openly violated by men of both partics to obtain a large sum from the Treasury that was raised by tara- tion and for an eutirely diferent pur) ose. The House will probably passthe bill. The men of this era are not stron enough to withstand the bait thrown out by a cun- ning, artful Republican who knows well how to rive in twain the Constitution and to introduce the Greek into the citadel. The vote in the Senate was very small. There were 25 absentecs. The Star has tried to do its duty in this very serious matter, It has been moved by the highest motives that can stir and ener- gize the human soul—love of country and a sincere desire to do that country some service. In onr very soul we believe the Blair bill to be a curse—an unmitigated curse. In our utmost soul we believe that it is a gross violation of organic law, and is a most pestilent and noisome visitation The Star of course can stand such things if the country can stand it, but a precedent will have been set if the Ifouse passes the Grab Bill that will vet entail upon the land we love the most “direful and unnun, bered woes,” as we fear. We say asain we have tried to do our duty and shall have but little more to say editorially of the Federal school teaching meastre, Said Butler in his inimitable “Hudibras”: : It is in vain (I sec) to argue ‘gainst the grain, Or like the stars, incline men to What they're averse themselves to do: For when disputes are wearied out Tis inter'st still resolves the doubt.” — Wilmington Star. To all of this the Watciiwan says Amen! It is the truth truthfully said. The time may comé when those who have voted for this infamy may be called to account by the people. sm @ ce Lula Hornaday, says the Montgomery Vidette, a girl of 11 years, of that place, was horribly burned last Tuesday by her clothing taking fire. Her case is regarded as fatal. cay eae ae Not Symptoms, but the Discase. It would seer to be a truth applicable by all, and especially by professors of the healing art, that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its symptoms, shotld be the chief aim of medication. Yet in how many instances do we see thi. truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice. The reason that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is sue- cessful in so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at- tributable to the fact that it isa medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the Various, maladies to which it is adapted. ndigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheuma- tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it, it goes to the fountain head.

The members of the Choral Uriion gave on last Tuesday evening, in the large parlors of the manse, the second con- cert of this, their first season. The pro- gramme was exceedingly attractive and sufficiently diversified to keep the audience in constant expectation. A large num-- ber of invited guests were present and seemed fully appreciative, as indicated by frequent and continued applause. The following programme was rendered : Tannhanuser March, x Chorus—Hail Bright Abode, j Choral Union. Wagner. Selections from Pastoral Symphony, Beethoven. Misses Knox and Rumple. Aprile (duet), Concone, Mrs. Erwin and Mrs. Griffith. Breezes of Night, (male quartet), Lamothe. Messrs. Smith, Erwin, Bruner & Griffith. Chorus—Mark! Apollo strikes the Lyre, Bishop. Choral Union.

Solo—Cuckoo. Miss Freer. Halleliyah Chorus, (from the Messiah). Handel. Choral Union. The choruses were, of course, carefully prepared and were rendered in splendid concert style, but cela ra sans dire, and your reporter hastens on to the special features of the programme. ‘Aprile,’ duet by Mrs. Erwin and Mrs, Griffith, was one of the most attractive selections in the list and was sung as charmingly and soulfully as if performed by profes- sional stars. Mrs. Erwin seemed to reach the highest point of expression in her rendering of Guonod’s “Sing, Smile, Sleep.” It wasa pleasing composition, as host of Guonod’s are. ‘Bridal Morning,’ duet by Misses Freer and Shober, could not have been more happily chosen. It was received with marked favor by the au- dience. Dr. Griffith’s solo was a promi- feature. It was rendered in his rich basso voice which was under re- markable control. Few men possess a voice of such elasticity and power, com- passing both the lower bass and tenor registers. At the conclusion ofthe solo, he was*showered’ with flowers and an encore loudly called for. In response he sang “Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep.” “Charity” a trio, by Mrs. Murphy, Mrs. Erwin and Miss Lizzie Brown was pleas- ing and took the audience by storm. The rich mellow voices seemed wedded to melody, and the strains lingered in the mind like the memory of adream. The audience anticipated Miss Freer and greeted her with applause as she rose to sing her solo. All was hushed as she be- gan, and the true power, richness and cul- ture of her voice became apparent as she proceeded. She was encored and_re- peated a strain of the “Cuckoo” song. Miss Rumple’s piano solo, Tarantelle, was one of Liszt’s master pieces and was rend- ered in athoroughly artistic manner, All points of expression were carefully ob- served, her technique was remarkable and showed by what rigid and carcful school- ing she had acquired such proficiency: she was enthusiastically recalled and played another brilliant selection from her seeming exhaustless repertoire. The male quartet was also well receiv- ed, and highly complimented. This will end the concerts for this season. The Union will begin again, in the early fall, the study of new and attractive music for the next season. — Sa A Mad Stone. Mexsr3. Editors:—I cannot say that I have much faith in such a thing as a mad stone, but there are plenty of persons who have, and when a person is so un- fortunate as to be bitten by a dog sup- posed to be rabid, it is quite natural for them to seck relief of some kind, as spee- dily as possible. It is probably not gen- erally known, there is a genuine mad stone in Scotch Irish township, Rowan county. It is owned by Mr. John H. Weedon, now living on the plantation of Mr. W. W. Fraley. ; This stone descended to Mr. Weedon from his grandfather, and has been in possession of the family for many years. It issaid to have the peculiar virtue of sticking to a freshly wounded part, when virus is present. During the past fall and winter there has been considerable demand for the stone, by persons bitten, and it has been taken to Lincoln county several times recently. It is said that it almost instanly relieve the pain from the sting of a bee or hornet. I have nodoubt you will publish notice with pleasure for the benefit of the public for whom this is written, and not for Mr. Weedon, as he knows nothing of my intention of writing this notice. His address is “John H. Weedon, Mt. Vernon, Rowan county; N. C.” Persons who read this, would do well to make a note of it, or cut it out and preserve it for emergencies.

The Trexler Mine, lying six miles east of Salisbury, and un- der the control of Mr. J. H. Enniss, has been prospected successfully recently, re- sulting in the discovery of an encouraging ‘ore body. The material is brown ore and sulphurets and. will run from $4 to $15 dollars. From present indications {regular work is to be done at this mine during the summer. ee Gold Hill Mines. Superintendent, A. C. Mauney, was here last Saturday and reported a new and valuable find in the Gold Hill mine. The ore was struck in the west vein, in entirely new ground, above the Williams drift, or 400 foot level, and west of 600 foot center shaft. The ore runs solid from the point of discovery over 100 feet up, and for about 100 feet inlength. The ore is a heavy sulphide, showing. free gold visible to the natural eye, and is worth way up in the hundreds, te the ton. This vein, going down in entirely new ground, and west of any other work, is hikely tu run into another Yehate” of ore similar to those in the Randolph and big sulphur ‘chutes.’ The Superintendent cabled the discovery to the London coin- pany. ——_—____ +e —_____ Barringer Gold Mine in Stanly county, and four miles from Gold Hill, has been visited recently by a number of Kentucky gentlemen who con- template taking hold, should the assay tests which are to be made, verify the present opinion of the property. They have made thorough investigation of the property, forked the water from one shaft and had ore taken froin the body at several points. Some of this ore was re- markably rich in free goldwhich was easily visible tothe natural eye. Specimens from various points, shafts and dumps were tak- en, upon the average of these will depend the decision of the gentlemen interested, No doubt is entertained as to the result, and it is with confidence that those who know the property look forward to its opening. The Meech process has already been chosen as the most desirable for this ore, and will be used, should the com- pany now interested conclude to buy the mine. This point is to be decided within the next twenty days. ——a-- Do ee Silver Valley Mine in Davidson county, has been idle for some time, pending the decision of the courts. The Davidson Dispatch says: About ayear ago, the Silver Valley mine in this county, was advertised to be sold under a deed of trust to secure a loan of $58,000, and $20,000 paid the Valley Company for ores by the Baltimore Gold and Silver Mining and Smelting Com- pany; but before the day of sale, the stockholders of the Valley Co. obtained an injunction against the sale, and after- ward in the superior court, an order to take anaccount between the two compan- ies. From what appears, it’ seeims that the case then was practically a suit be- tween Dr. Joseph Wilkins and the Val- ley Co. Last week, the referee, Ex-Judge King, of Baltimore, made his report, find- ing that instead of the Valley owing the Baltimore Co. the amount claimed, the latter is indebted to the former to the amount of $18,000. The case stands on the motion docket of our superior court, to be heard on the report of the referee and will be taken up tomorrow if it can be reached. If the decision of the court shall sustain the referee’s fifdings, it is altogether probable that the Valley mine will resuine operations during the Spring. It is to be hoped that such will be the case since the mine is a valuable one, and should be producing. plex, galena, carrying silver, lead, zine, sulphur and some copper. The ores were concentrated and shipped to Swansea, Wales, for reduction, before the suspen- ‘sion of work. The ores are com- Agents Notes.

Mr. Epiror:—About 20 years have passed since we emerged from a civil war that changed the face and affairs of this country and brought ruin upon the class of people who had been the principal sup- post of this government, To meet this great change and save this people from want and suffering the pre- sent homestead law was enacted. ‘lhe principles embodied in this law is univer- saliy understood by the people—white and black. It was made as we under- stand it, to meet an emergency brought on by a cause that they could not hinder, aud to prevent them from being driven froin their homes until they could recover froin their prostrate conditon. But how is it now 2U years have passed? Another gencration is here, the face and affairs of the country have undergone another change. The emergency that this law Was made to meet has entirely disap- peared. The waste places have been built up and the State long since restored to Democratic rule. Why continue this law any longer! It is like giving opium to relieve a man of some acute pain until the cause could be removed and a cure effected, and after this had been done still continue to dose him with morphine. Every physician could tell you what would be the result. Very soon a train of evils would be brought on and finally his whole system would be deranged and destroyed by it. So it is with the home- stead Jaw, by its continuance a train of evils has been brought about. Every honest, thinking man can plainly see them. It is a traverse for men to dodge behind; it tends to demoralize our people and tempts men to study rascality; it places the honest man who has some property, but not enough to overreach the homestead upon the same footing with the tramp or pauper; it destroys the confidence ot the country and is the father of the chattel mortgage system. The latter is enough to sink it into evyer- lasting oblivion. Just take a stroll around, Mr. Editor, and see what this iniquitous mortgage system is duing for our land; our court house, cross road stores, post oflices, black smith shops, mill doors and sign board trees are plastered over with chattel mortgage sale adver- lisements. It is getting to be so common that men do not stop to read them. This state of things, Mr. Editor, cannot exist and our coutry continue to advance as it Was wont to do. This system has so completely fastened itself upon us that it is impossible’ to get rid of it without removing the cause that brought it upon us, viz: the home- stead law. In our present condition there is no alternative for the poor man; he must mortgage his whole crop or suffer. In many instances it has taken his entire living to satisfy his last year’s mortgages; his produce had to be thrown on the mar- ket at a time when he could scarcely realize one-half its value; and to raise another crop he is forced to purchase sup- plies and pay just as much as his mer- chant can stretch his conscience to charge, (and generally they are pretty elastic— stretch tolerable well without breaking.) It is the farmer and laborer that is suffer- ing; let them rise in their might, restore the confidence of the country and break off the chains that binds them year after year in absolute serfdom. Hope to hear trom others on this subject, who are bet- ter posted than your huinble servant, CLOD IXNOCKER. 2 Report of the White Graded School.

Died suddenly in Baltimore, on the morning of February 17th, Maj. Peter W. Hairston, in the 66th year of his age. Major Hairston was born in Pittsylvania county, Virgina, and was educated at the Uni- versity of lis native State, but having inherit- fed from his maternal grandfather large landed property in North Carlina, he was during the greater part of his life a resident of the latter State. In his youth he spent some time travel- ling in Europe, and on his return he married and settled down to the life for which his genial ‘character and opulent fortune so well fitted him, and made so pleasant to himself and wide circle of friends and acquaintances—that of a hospitable country gentleman. His first wife, a sister of the distinguished soldier, Gen. J. E. B. Stuart, dying early. he married a second time fthe daughter of Judge D. F. Caldwell of Salig- bury. At the commencement of the war he was of j middle age, but nevertheless be went at once into the ficld and did gallant service during the whole contliet—serving first on the staff of his brother-in-law, Gen. Stuart, and later on that of his cousin, Gen. Early. Though constantly ex- posed to danger—his horse on one occasion being killed under him—he was so fortunate as to escape unhurt, and at the end of the war he went to Baltimore, and engaged in the whole- sale commission business in partnership with the late Gen. Herbert; residing for many years in that city during the winter and visiting in summer his extensive estates in North Carolina jand Virginia. About eighteen months ago the junexpected death of his partner threw on him ithe labor and responsibility of settling up the | business of the late firm, aud with his charac- | teristic energy and devotion to duty he ad- | dressed himself to the task—pursuing it with untlagging resolution and perseverance up to the hour of his death. Work so uncongenial to his tastes and unfamiliar to his habits—un- dertaken, too, at a time of life when the cares of business arc more often laid aside than new- ly assumed, proved naturally most fatiguing end injurious to his health. His vigorous con- stitution gave way under the strain, yet the physical frame, staunch as the*spirit which animated it. would not yield and seemed that of x strong man to the last. Une moment he was in the midst of life, the next the hand of death was on him, and without pain or con- sciousness God took him from the worid. To every man’s character there are two sides —one which i* presented to the world and one Which is seen only in the intimacy of friend- ship ane the privacy of family life. The aspect which Major Hairston’s character presented to China Grove is flourishing, her wide- | the world was that of a just and upright man: aman of stainless integrity, of the most genial and courteous disposition, ever kindly and charitable, not alone in deeds but what is more unusual in words also. He spoke evil of no one: even of deserved censure he was very sparing, though every instinct of his nature turned in scorn from anything false or mean, and kindled to the touch of generous emotion. But it was only to his family and immediate ends that the rare goodness and purity and It Was most significant of the affection in which he was held even by his dependents that his grave Was surrounded by many of his former slaves. who had travelled far, “to see,” as they sorrowfully said, “Master put away.” One of them, the most attached, and who had never left his service, asked to be permitted to drive | fri ofticer.

A sincere patriot, a brave soldier, ‘a public-spirited citizen, a most kind and indul- gent master, @ most faithful and generous fried, a most affectionate son.and brotper, and a most devoted husband and father, he lived and died a true and noble gentleman. . Died at Saura Town, Stokes county, N. U., at the residence of the late Major Hairston, on March Ist, Moses Alexander Locke, eldest son of the late Wm. Locke of Salisbury. Mr. Locke had gone to Sauta Town but two months since, to take charge of Major Hair- ston’s business there, and’ only four days after the tidings of the sudden déath of its head had brought grief and dismay to the house he was struck down by violent iliness, In the absence of the family (who had been called to Virginia by the last sad duty of affection) he was en- tirely alone, and with the strong conscientious- ness and fidelity which characterized him, he refused to yield to sickness, but persisted in fulfilling all his duties for two days, The re- turn of part of his family then brought him relief from responsibility, and the attention he needed.. Medical aid was summoned, but acute laryngitis developed in its most violent form, and he soon hung on the verge of death. Saved by untiring skill and care from that, pneumonia set in, and he died on the second day of its de- velopment. The death which strikes it8 victim at one blow could hardiy have seemed: more sudden of more terrible to those who watched beside him, than this swift and violent malady which cut short a life so fall of usefulness and goodness. Those who have known him from his earliest youth know well the many estimable qualities which wou for him the attachment, as well as the respect, of all who were associated with him. Faithful and unsparing of himself in every duty, his loss is greater than can be ex- pressed, not only to his own family, but to those, already so deeply bereaved, whose inter- ests he would have served with rare fidelity. Brief as the time had been in which he had filled his responsible position, it was long enough for him to have won their trust and their recognition of his worth. He was always so quiet and so unasseming that it was neces- sary to look below the surtace in order to ap- preciate the many virtues he possessed—his ab- solute integrity, his unfailing courage and patience under hardship, his gentleness and kindness of heart, his thoughtfulness for others, his charity and good will toward men, his devotion to his family and above all his faith and trust in God. “Death is the true mirror of life,” and this life, which had been so simple, so obedient, so full of the quiet per- formance of duty was faithfully mirrored in the spirit with which he met death. Knowing his end at hand, he resigned himself with infi- nite calmness-to the will of God and yielded up his soul with fervent sentiments of faith and Jove and trust. He had been for two years a member of the Catholic church and was ear- nest and exemplary in the practice of his reli- gion. His remains were brought to Salisbury and placed in the Church of the Sacred Heart, where a Requiem Mass was said for him on Thursday morning. May he rest im peace. A ES ELL LE IS IE I IS TE J.

He is con- sidered so thoroughly honest that the richest would trust him with their mil- lions and the poorest would make him their savings bank. In money and all business transactions his integrity is spot- less and the confideuce in him is without limit.

This is how the now famous hymn, and By,” came to be writ- ilmore Bennett, the author, The hymn was written by Dr. Bennett at Elkhorn, Wisconsin, 1868. The writing of the words was based upon a remark made by J. P. Webster, who composed the music. Mr. Webster was of an Sete erate and sen- sitive nature and subject to periods of terrible depression. In one of his melancholy moods he chanced to drop in at the house of Dr. Bennet when the latter asked: “What is the matter now 2?” “Oh, it is no matter,” replied man; “it will be all The last three words immediately conveyed a sugges- tion to Dr. Bennett, and, he says: “The idea of the hymn came to me like a flash of sunlight.

Being unable to persuade any Euro- an to be his companion on the occas- ion, the Duke was compelled to ge alone.* I happened to see him on the afternoon of the day on which the execution took place, and his looks told me in language that could not be mis- understood that for once at least m his life he had supped full of horror. I think he repented of his curiosity, and I am certain he saw enough to furnish his imagination with material for many hideous nightmare. When I met him he had not recovered his composure, and he tried the usual remedy of re- lieving his feelings by giving me a full and particular account of what he had witnessed. He told me that in the extensive courtyard into which he had been admitted there were a hundred condemned persons drawn up in four rows of twenty-five men each. What struck him most was the perfectly cal- lous indifference of the unfortunate beings who - were ranged in full view before him, and the quiet business-like manner in which the executioner dis- charged his horrible task. The crimi- nals stood bolt upright, but each one, as his turn came, bent down his head so as to give the executioner as fair a chance as possible of cutting it off at a single blow. The executioner roved himself to be a master of his yusiness, and his huge sword had in no single instance to be raised a second time upon the same victim. The Duke himself possessed considerable coolness and presence of mind, for he held his watch in his hand, and found that the work of destroying 100 lives was ac- complished by one man in exactly the period of two minutes and a half. | felt very thankful that I had not been a witness of the sight, and I found the simple narrative quite appalling enough T assure you. If I had ever in my life felt a curiosity to see a Chinese execu- tion, the experience of this Italian nobleman related by him to me would have been an effectual cure, and I know that my informant was not likely ‘again to seek to be a spectator of an- other such scene of bloodshed.— Army and Navy Magazine. How to Use a Grindstone. _ A grindstone is one of the worst-used implements on a farm, or in the work- shop. Few take the trouble to think about their work, and consequently the great majority of the people fail to get most and best use from their tools. The few who do think will agree with us when we say that a grindstone is both badly used and badly chosen. It is too small; too thick; it is not evenly and truly set and centred; it is not pro- perly speeded, and is turned either too fast and made to throw the water around, or too slow, and fails to do its work well; it is not well taken care of, and is badly used. . A ere tone, to do good service, should be at least three feet in diame- ter and two and one-half to three inches in thickness, having a bevel on each side of the face for grinding on. It should be quite free from hard spots of iron pyrites, which are injur- ious to tools, although these may be taken out with a sharp pointed punch. If it is not centered truly, it will work out of shape, and soon require trueing up. It should run as fast as possible, as it does work better and more quickly. To prevent it from throwing water, a piece of bagging should be fastened te a staple fixed across the frame on each end, but not so close as to grind it out; clean it. The stone should be ept in the shade, and never in water, which Conrt and Magisterial, CO000000060006 al ci solicited and satisfaction guaranteed, PROFESSIONAL CARDS. faster than the other. in use. lars if I—” He didn’t speak as a third person.” dar was no third pusson present. this will catch the excess of water and|from one of his‘legs and the thigh was yet keep the stone wet enough and} burned in a crisp to the bone. softens it and makes one side wear|or ask for assistance.

We are told that in the mountain fastnesses of North Georgia, where the locomotive whistle has never been heard, where the “worm of the still never dieth,” and the missionary has never preached, that there are men and children who cannot read, never heard of Jesus Christ, his missions or death, know nothing of Sunday Schools, or the proper observaance of the Sabbath or what Christmas means. It is related that when a man’s thirteen year old daughter died up there not long ago, the father bent over the corpse, with weeping eyes and lacerated heart and exclaimed: “She did not know there was such a thing as death.” She had never seen anybody dead; she had never been taught she had to die, knew nothing of the shadowy land, or eter- nity, heaven or hell; yet thousands of dollars are annually collected from the people and sent to Christianize the “heathen Chinee”’ while in the moun- tain seclusions, the rough and illiterate inhabitants, scratch the ground, shoot the deer, barb the trout, make and drink their whisky, and are oblivious of the gospel of Jesus Christ. “Ignorance is bliss,’ but there is a misdirection of funds and a lack of discernment in this matter quite apparent.— Asheville Advance. ee ae Tough on the Farm Laborer.’ We are not mistaken in the differ- ence in the economy of common lalb- orers fifty years ago, and at present. They used to try and save and succeed- ed wonderfully. At this period in his- tory, after a person had worked eight months in the year at good wages for five years, if an inventory be taken at the beginning of spring of his capital stock, it will be found that he has an old pipe, an old greasy pocket book, a jack knife, a fancy necktie and prob- ably an old extra pair of winter boots. He can lose the axe off the bobsled in going to the timber. and the end board to the wagon box in going to the mill. ‘It is just as easy for him to lose as it is for a mosquito to bite. And then again he can forget more in one day than you can think of in a week. He can exhibit his strength by break- ing a twenty-five cent fork handle in ping hay, and display his weakness y setting a steel trap for a weasel and catch a $3 hen—dead.

Manure should be put around rhu- barb roots and the small fruits, and upon the asparagus beds, as soon as the ground thaws, if it was not done last fall. All of them will bear liberal manuring, and will pay well for it. Prepare the hotbeds as early as possible. Every farmer should have one, in which to grow his supply of lettuce, cabbage and tomato plants. Hf a few potatoes are gprouted in the hotbed they can be transplanted when others are planting potatoes, and about two weeks can be panes in the time of growing. Some armers also go as far as to start their sweet coin, cucumbers and a few other vegetables which they wish to obtain early in this way. ——.- Two mountaineers, whose names we could not learn. fresh from the moun- tains, encamped just above the factory last Saturday mght.

The crocodile summed up, saying: “I care not where I live. On land I fine better food than in water, for you must all adinit that a hare, or rabbit. or some other land animal of the kind, is much better fare than fish or frogs.” At this there was a loud applause, and the meeting came to an end. But the poor fish, who could not live out of water for one moment, thought it their duty, however, to pray; so they did. Very soon the sky was overcast, the clouds poured, and the lake was full.

Last Saturday we had the good fortune | of being present at the closing exercises of L. W.8. Bost’s school at the Kluttz school house. The exercises on Friday and Saturday were of the nature of a commencement. At the close Mr. Bost delivered an address on the subject: “Choosing a Profession or Aim in Life.” His subject was addressed more particu- larly to the boys of his school, in which was set forth very lucidly, that it was the aim that makes the man, and without an aim however talented he may be he will never be of much weight in the com- munity. Mr. Bost has been teaching in this vicinity for the last twelve or fifteen years, (which speaks well for him,) and knows just where, how, and when to strike to reach the better part of his pupils. After the closing exercises of the school the committee, according to previous ap- pointment, called a meeting to consult on the advisability of building a new school house. A. W. Kluttz, Esq., was appoint- ed chairman, and explained the object of the meeting, setting forth the disadvanta- vantages of a larger. Then Mr. L. W. S. Bost read a letter to the committee from our worthy Supt. T. C. Linn, in which he urged the necessity of building a new house. It was concluded to build a new house, 20x32, with modern desks instead ofslabs benches, also plenty of Black boards. All we have to say is, that isan aim in the right direction, go ahead ! Yours truly. H. J. rn ar Rev. Sam Jones, e the revivalist, was not so successful in Chicago as elsewhere. He succeeded in raising a storm of indignation against himself on one occasion, which affords reason to fear that his light may yet go out suddenly, and leave the world in as deep darkness as before his entrance upon the stage as areformer. We quote from the N. Y. Star, March Sth, the following notice: That most sensational of modern reviva- lists, Rev. Sam Jones of Atlanta, Ga., isa gospeler of manitold eccentritics and abrupt surprises. His labors in the vineyard are popularly believed to have resulted in awakening the convictions and improving the morals of a certain class whose larden- ed hearts can only be reached by a preach- er who possesses the lungs ol a Stentor, the tongue of astreet fukir, and the general style and easy vociferation of an auctioneer. Mr. Jones possesses these gifts in an emi- nent degree, and his audiences have been uniformly dfsposed to be generous toward his eccentricities, in view of the earnestness he threw into his work and his manifest sincerity in the missionary field. Presum- ing upon his indulgence the evangelist, when he found himself face to face with an intelligent audience in Chicago on Monday evening, proceeded to make offensive re- marks which his hearers were prompt to resent as insulting. The preacher asked that all who had prayed on their knees before coming to the meeting rise in their seats, Twenty stood up, and to the majori- ty, who remained seated, he cried out that he “wanted them to take their carcasses out of here.” The scene that followed was sensational beyond the expectations even of the revi- valist himself. All over the hall men and women stood up, and a tempest of indigna- tion scemed to let itself loose in an instant. Revivalist Jones received such a rebuke from his justly exasperated audience as he will not soon forget. Manners and morals fit well together, and even a popular re- of Christianity is in no wise inconsistent with the character of a gentleman, A better, probably more truthful, and satisfactory statement of the Chicago af- fair. At the First Baptist church, in Chicago, -| Monday, Rev. Sam Jones, the Southern evangelist, said: “What a privilege it is to pray. Now I want all those who got down on their knees and prayed before they came to this meeting to rise in theirscats.” About 20 persons arose in the auditorium. The evangelist leaned against the pulpit and seemed to gasp for breath. ‘You may be seated now,” he said. ‘Why brethren, you would find more prayerful Christians in Hong Kong, China, than there are in this meeting to-day. If you can’t pray I want you to take your carcasses out ef here. I don’t want you to come here if you can’t pray.” An aged man sitting in one of the front pews leaped to his feet, and in a ful- tering voice said: “Mr. Jones, I don't think it is necessary for a person to get down on his knees and pray. I consider myself a good Christian and I do not like to hear such talk.” “[ was about to cay the same thing,” ex- claimed Rev. Mr. Scudder, of Plymouth church. “I prayed while on my way to church. God does pot demand that a man shall get down on his knees before his pray- ers are heard.” 7 “Any more exculpatory remarks?” drawl- ed the evangelist. Dr. Scudder.—“These are not exculpa— tory remarks.” A man with an ear trumpet arose and punctuated his remarks with vigorous pounding on the rostrum, “Mr. Jones,” he began, “I did rot have time to get down on my knees and pray for this meeting. Ihave spent nearly the en- tire day reading the Bible to a gambler and a drunkard, and I think Iam entitled to respect here.” Other men and several women began to ” stand up in various sections of the church, but a few explanatory remarks served to still the tempest, and the revivalist was per- mitted to finish his sermon without further interruption. —_— peg When ashoemaker has to buy his own shoes, a tailor purchase a ‘“ready- made” suit, and farmers go to the stores for their corn and meat, there is some- thing wrong.—Let the farmers diversi- fy their crops.

We are glad to note the fact that a convention of grape-growers and wine- makers will be held in Washington in May next for the purpose of forming a national association of those engaged in the two industries mentioned, and we hope North Carolina will be well represented thereat. It is proposed to hold in connection with the convention an exposition of American wines and other products of the grape, and an ad- dress has been issued by those engineer- ing both the convention and the exposi- tion in which it is shown that the grape can be successfully grown on lands that have been condemned for general agriculture purposes; that, owing to favorable climatic conditions, soil in- gredients and geological formation, cer- tain belts and areas of country are ex- ceptionally well adapted to the produc- tion of grapes and that such lands ap- preciate rapidly in value under such cul- tivation. We all know that this State lies within one of the belts and forms one of the areas above referred to, and it only remains for us to realize fully the importance of the wine-growing in- terest and the possibilities of proflt and better peteal health that it holds. There has already been a rapid exten- sion of the industry in the State despite the lack of any organized effort in its behalf, and it 1s therefore evident that it can easily be made to reach the pro- portions it should bear in such favor- able soil‘and under such genial skies as those nature had vouchsafed us. It should be fostered and encouraged in every way possible. There is not a county in the State in which it could not be profitably pursued. Every far- mer should have his vineyard, big or little, just as he has his own orchard. He should make grapes not only for domestic consumption but for shipment to the markets North and West. He would find the enterprise as profit- able as any other in which he could embark. In the address to which we have re- ferred it is represented that “the acreage in vines in the United States has more than doubled within the past five years, and covers at the present time not less than 300,000 acres. Farmers who talked of planting five and ten acres then, now take fifty and one hundred with the ease and confidence that a thoroughbred would take a hurdle. The increase in quantity has been out- stripped in qualities of varieties selected, so that it would not be an exaggeration to say that practically our whole sys- tem has been revolutionized within the period named. The capital invested in vineyards and vineyard properties in the whole country at the present time is not less than $100,000,000. The pre- sent ratio of inerease of planting and investment is about 100 per cent. in 3 years. This ratio, kept up until 1896, will give us, as the result of pine years, $800,000,000 invested and 2,400,000 acres planted; and estimating the pro- duct at 400 gallons of wine to the acre, (supposing all were made into wine, ) would yield the round number of 960,- 000,000 gallons, a pee ual to the present wine productién of France!

MARCH 18, 1886. grape-growers and wine-dealers looking to a putting up of the prices of native wines, the unexpected shortage in the grape crop of 1885 is given as the main cause of the movement. The rise has not yet been decided upon, but it is es- timated that it will reach about 20 per cent all round. We are anxious to see our people a grape-growing, a wine- making and a_ native-wine-drinking people. Nota people drinking to ex- cess, of course, but a people drinking the pure and wholesome wines of their own manufacture, to the exclusions of the often vile cancoctions they now consume as whisky and beer. e be- heve that in that direction lies the shortest rodd to the temperance we all desire to see prevailing throughout the land. The native-wine-drinking people of the world, wherever found, are tem- people. Why should there be a ce In our case? In this connection it may be well to note the fact that Representati of this State, himself-a large wine- maker, has in charge a bill prepared by the State Viticultural Commission of California and the National Vine Growers’ Association of New York, re- Jating to spurious and adulterated wines, which he will introduce at the earliest opportunity. Under its provis- ions, pure wines, the product of this country, are exempted from taxation; but all compounds or adulterations of wines are taxed, and, when such com- pounds or adulterations are represented to be pure, they are subject to forfeit- ure, and offenses against the law are unishable by fine and imprisonment, in addition to forfeiture. ee ee ee The Blair Bill in the House. Norfolk Virginian, Dem. The pathway of those who favor the Blair Educational bill appears to be beset with difficulties. Many people and papers, in the early stages of its discussion, adopted the conclusion that this sugar-coated pill would go down the national throat without a_ halt. The developments at the present sit- ting of Congress indicate that such parties made a great mistake. It is re- lated that at the Friday’s meeting of the House Education Committee a pretty tight was witnessed. The bill was opposed vigorously by Representa- tives Miller, Burnes and Strait, and de- fended by Mr. Willis. Only nine mem- bers were present when ie first vote was taken. ‘This vote stood 5 to 4 to report the bill to the House. After the vote was taken two members en- tered the room, and a motion was made to reconsider the vote. This was carried —7 to 83—-and it was decided to consider the subject again at the next meeting. It is apparent that a ma- jority of the committee oppose the measure, but some of its opponents are willing that it should go back to the House for the question to be settled there. The opposition that has devel- oped is a surprise to the friends of the bill, and it is thought now that many Southern members, whom it was su posed would favor it, will vote the oth- er way. Besides, should it command a majority vote in both branches of Congress, it is a question of some doubt whether the approval of the President could be secured. David Crockett. Ben Perley Poor in the Sunny South. David Crockett was the roughest diamond that ever sparkled inthe House of Representatives. _Reared in the cabin of his father, a Revolution- ary soldier, who was a pioneer settler in Tennessee, he became noted as a marksman, a bear hunter and an In- dian fighter. In due time he was sent to the legislature, and in 1827 he went to Congress. Wearing a homespun suit, with a waistcoat made from the skin of a panther, which he had shot, he at- tracted some attention, and the most absurd stories were told of his prowess. He told some good stories but the greater part of his remarks were coarse and vulgar. It so happened however, that he became arrayed against Gen. Jackson on an Indian bill, and when the President sent a friend to him to tell him that he must support the bill if he desired re-election, he replied: “I believe the measure is unjust and wicked, and I shall fight it, let the con- sequences be what they may. [ am willing to go with Gen. Jackson im everything | believe right and honest, but beyond that I won't go for any man in creation. I would sooner be honest and politically damned than hypocritically immortalized.” _ The Wie took him up and he visited Philadelphia, New Mock and Boston, receiving marked attention and many presents in each city. When he re- turned to Tennessee and went into the canvass, he found that President Jack- son was too much for him, and he was beaten by about three hundred votes. He went to Texas, where he fought gallantly, and was killed when the Alamo was taken and its garrison was slaughtered. His son, John W., served asa Whig in Congress from 1837 to 1841. He then removed to New Or- leans, where he edited a paper for awhile, and then returned to tenesre: where he died in 1852. Several lives of Crockett were published, written by others. Of the many sayings credit- ed to hit yvet}e most popular one one was, “Be ice youre right-—then go ahead.” at IF ‘out of sorts’ with headache, stomach disorder, torpid liver, pain in back or side, con- in the affirmative is made evident by the recent action of the Califoraia A CARD. ° To all who are suffering from the errors and indiscretions of youth, nervous weak- ness, early decay, loss of manhood, &c.,I will send a recipe that will cure you, FREE or CuarGk.

Jones continues his laughable ani- madversions upon Senator Vance. It ‘wan hayeno more effect on Vance than the barking of a dog hason the light giving power of a full moon. It may amuse the dog but it don’t ‘bother’ the moon. That’s about the size of Charles R’s effort. Vance is a big man. A competent, honest man. He is the representative of the people of North Carolina, and is faithful to the trusts confided to him. He made anational reputation before the war as astatesman. His name was a household word in the homes of North Carolinians He made a national repu- tation asthe best war governor during the war, and he enshrined himself in the hearts of the people by his faithfulness to every duty to them and to his State. He has again worked himself into national fame since the war. His name was the the rallying cry when carpet-bag-rule and radical oppression held North Caro- fina in subjection—her best citizens dis- franchised and deprived of liberty. These things cannot be forgotten. The people qemember them. Charles R.may rant, énd cry for office and be disappointed ti] dooms-day, yet will Vance retain his place in the hearts of a grateful people. This is not the first time that the Colonel has been at variance with his party. He andthe party don’t think alike. If they Gid he might be in Congress. Jn his two columns devoted to Vance and the WarcHuMaAN, Col. Jones has said but little to which we need advert. He has utterly failed to prove Vance a dic- tator. The pucrility of the attempt is Jaughable. He intimates that the WATCH- MAN isa man worshiper. He says: “The Salisbury Wutchmaa, too, ina kind of spirit of ‘You naughty boy, don’t say anything about Vance—the King can do no wronz, Ke. You wrongus Colonel; it is not the man, but his principles we defend. He js the people’s choice, by them placed in Washington toact forthem. Heis the exponent of their political desires. He etands in the halls of Congress and votes their sentiments like a man, regardless of personal interests or political prefer- ment. The WATCHMAN differs with Sena- tor Yance on some of the leading ques- tions of the day, vet it accords him hon- est motives for lis position and respects him them, No petty whim or personal disappointment could tempt this paper to criticise adversely the people's chosen representative. Noth- ing short of gross neglect and failure to honor the sentiments of the mass of home constituents should subject him to such Criticism. Col. Jones delights in statistics and accounts. He has a special weakness for the accounts of the Secretary of the Sen- ate. There are a hundred and forty-nine pages of that report., His readers have pomething ahead. The Colonel has not established the fact that these expendi- tures area wasteful and useless squan- dering of the people’s money. It would be advisable to do. so before finishing the reproduction of the Sceretary’s annual report. To our people who live so plain- ly these things may seem very extrava- gant, and they may be. Vance and should prepare apecches askiny for reform. But does North Corolina send men to the Senate te see thatthe seruab women who daily wash the tiled not have too much soft soap issued to them, or to at- tend to any other duty pertaining to the Office of the Secretary of the Senate. No reasonable man so Nor does Col. Jones think so. Ie is seeking for : “upon which to base his persistent attacks upon the Senator. So far he has only demonstrated his personal animosi- ty to that gentleman. ———_— 7 ><> ae as it Come to This.

Phisis a new and rather interesting | tion and one, too, lying within easy range of possibility, Under the mod- < Wapeand easy construction of the “gens -tralwelfare” clause of the much abused eonstitution, most anythingis possible and even constitutional. Under this clause co Witionality is given to the Blair bribery bill. Bribery is used advisedly, @ By its provisions northern haters of the south may accomplish what their vast @evastating armies could not do; nor yet what abject poverty, under vile carpet- bag rule could not do; nor what any direct Clggislation could do, that is, dethrone states rights, inaucurate a strong central] government and onforce negro social equality.

But those who are posted tell us that the schools are pro- yressive work each year. If this is so, then there is no need of national aid. For many years the negro was used asa_ tool by yankee carpet-baggers to install them in office, but under the enlightenment given him by educational systems in the south, he has begun to think and act for him- self, This changed aspect in the negro has again touched the sympathies (?) of the south haters, who under this Blair infamy see how they may strike a blow which will at once shove the poor white man of the south down toa common level with the negro. The race troubles inthis country will date, not from Lee’s surrender, but from the passage of the 3lair bill. But give us tie land and mules instead of the Blair bi.!—no constitutionality in the way, no! no!—they will do more good and would never antagonize the races. eS The situation in regard to the labor question is becoming alarming. Strikes are reported in all branches of laber in all parts of the country. The working men are organizing to demand certain fixed wages. The manufacturers are or- ganizing all over the country, obligating themsclves to discontinue operations the moment a strike or boycott is inaugurated against any one of them. The whole business is imported deviltry, born of communism and bred in foreign soil. ee Mike Coppalla, an Italian musician, shot and probably killed Maggie Wilson, a young girl, while tussling over a pistol.

At a meeting to- day the whole matter was postponed until the third Friday in April. It is thought if it comes up then it will be for adverse action.—.V. }. Star. Upon this postponement, the Wilming- ton Star remarks: Much of the time of the last Congress was occupied in discussing this very ob- noxious bill. Enough time has been wasted upon it and we hope the bill will be finally disposed of during the present session. Asan uncompromising toe of a measure we believe to be more hurt- ful to the public health than nox- ious gasses and mephitic exhalations are to physical life we are still anxious for its settlement one way or the other during the present session. It ought not to be slaughtered in the Committee, We are anxious to see each Representative make his record, and when the vote comes we hope there will be no dodging and no pairing. Let us have a square vote. In the Senate, of 72 members 24 are known to be dead against the Grab bill, In the House we suppose the proportion against is not greater. We would rejoice to be mistaken in this, for if there is not ® two-thirds in fayor we hope the bill will meet its deseryed death at the hands ofa president who has given indications that he at least is Democrat enough not to favor a palpable, clear violation of the law, which it would be if President Mad- | ison, Who did more to make and expound {the Constitution than any other three inen, is to be credited, and such eminent Constitutional lawyers as Bentony Cal- hoyn, Jerry Black, Curtis and others who understood the great charter of our liber- hes, dead, _—~-—>s Ocean Steamer Lost. A Cunard line, ocean steamer, collided early on last Sunday morning with an unknown schooner and was lost. She had on board 896 souls, all of whom were saved. The New York Star gives this ac- count of it: The point of collision was between Fire Island nnd Shinnecock, about fifteen miles off shore. The shock was terrific and awoke every one on board. The noise of the collision could have been heard for at least two miles, and resembled the boom of the sunsct cannon on Governor’s Island. The hole knocked in the bow of the Ore- gon on the port side was fully six feet square, and principally below the water jlinc. The waters rushed in like a cataract. The pumps were at once called into use by Chief Officer Matthews, who was on the bridge, ag it was apparent that. the damaye Was too serious to admit of wast- jiny time In cxamination, The great hole Was Just underneath the diniug-room, and the bow of the schooner penetrated so far that the engines were disabled. Aroused trom deep slumber lone before daylight on a cold Ore: nee che 650 passengers rushed on deck in their night clothes, their shrieks and cries almost drowning the commauds of the officers, The pumps were worked to their fullest extent, and when it became apparent that the steamer must sink an attempt was made to get the boats ready. In the con. | fusion this was a work of the greatest jdithculty. Fortunately the sea jSmooth as glass, and only a light bre | prevailed, The unknown schooner struck the Ore- gon heavily three times in quick succes. j ston, and each time crushed the timbers | to pieces and madea large hole.

Senator Miller's death temporarily gives the democrats another seat in the Senate. The prevailing opinion among California Democrats is that Governor Stoneman will appoint to the vacancy either Mr. Delmas, a prominent lawyer of the state, or Mr. Geo. Hearst, editor or the San Francisco Examiner, . The Senatorial debate has been going on stea@ily with crowded galleries, After the Vermont Senator’s celebrated speech Sena- tor Pugh, of Alabama, lead the Democratic assault on the Edmunds position. Mr. Pugh is a lawyer of tine abilities and he made a strong legal reply to the Vermont- er’s assumption, Same of his points were very effective, one of the first showing a flaw in the Edmunds argument, Mr. Ed- munds claimed that Duskin, the official who was suspended by the Attorney Gen., was still a suspended official, and that, therefore information concerning his sus- pension was a proper matter for the Sen— ate’s consideration. Mr. Pugh showed that the term of office, to which Duskin had been appointed, had expired last January, before the Senate Judiciary committee had sought to obtain-its information through Mr. Edmunds. Senator Wilson next assailed the Presi- dent in a speech that was very unsatisfac- tory to the Republicans and was laughed at by the Democratic Senators for its weak- ness and absurd assertions. ‘Che Iowa Senator troubled himself but little with arguments, but devoted his time to a pure- ly partisan denunciation of the Administra- tion. ‘The burden of hiscomplaint was that Mr. Cleveland bad failed in his professed intention to carry out the principles of Civil Service Reform. Then Mr. Kenna, the youngest man in the Senate, spoke from a Democratic point of view. In the West Virginian, Senator Ed- munds met an adversary entirely werthy of him inthe unworthy cause to which he is now devoting bis energies. It was Mr. KKenna’s second speech in the Senate, although he has been a member of that body for more than two years. He has been serving his novitiate, as it were. There isan unwritten law that requires new Senators to be little more than voting members. But after istening te Mr. Kenna’s first great effort, the popular comment among his friends was that he had been kept in the background to long, The effect of Mr. Kenna’s speech was to show that the Republican Seneators who claim to be standing on such bigh moral ground in this controversy have been actua- ted by partisan feclines alone. He made many telling hits at Senators Edmunds, Sherman and Logan, quoting them against their present position, as when, fgr instance, he read the fac-simile of a letter written by Sherman, then Secretary of the Treasury, in which he (Sherman) refused to furnish the Senate’s request for papers of a conti- dential character filed in the Departments. Mr. Sherman said, in the same letter, that no Jaw requircd the President to give reasons, IIe read an extract from book that was received laughter. It was where the Maine histo- rian stated that the Tenure of-ottice law was cnacted lest President Johnson should remove Republican office holders too rapid- ly, and it was afterwards practically re- pealed lest President Grant should not re- move Democratic office holders rapidly enough. Mr. Kenna was merciless in his criticisms of the leader of the present controversy, and while the audience was listening at- tentively to the speaker it was also watch- ing Mr. Edmunds’ face, During this scoring the latter resorted to his old habit of pre- tending to be absorbed in a book which was open before him, It was noticed, how- ever, that he did not turn a leaf during the long reading of another choice extract from Mr. Blaine’s book which showed that Mr. Edmunds had contradicted himself upon the right of the President to remove Without giving any reason for it. When the young Senator closed with the predic- tion that Grover Cleveland would hand down to his successor the prerozatives of his office undiminished, he was surrounded by a throng of Senators and congressmen who had come over frum the house to hear him, They showered congratulations upon him and shook both of his hands until his arms ached. To-day Mr. Edmunds will be re-inforced by Senator Cullom of Illi- nois, Mr. Blaine’s $e The American Sphinx. PILOT KNOB, NORTH CAROLINA—A WON- DERFUL NATURAL CURIOSITY. Correspondent Washington Evening Star. The interesting article copied in the Star of Saturday from a London newspa- per, in regard to the Sphinx—stating that it was fashioned out of a huge rock, as it was left on the Egyptian sands by the hand of nature—calls to mind a similar forma- tion in North Carolina, on an immeasura- bly greater scale. The Pilot Knob, as it is called, is situated in Surry county, in the northwesteru part of the State, just east of the Blue Ridge; its position, prone on the Picdment plain, like a gigantic lion; its body at right angles to the pre- cipitous ridge, and with head reared aloft, as if in the act of rising. I have ridden around it, and from every point of view it bears a striking likeness to the Sphinx. The head is of solid rock, several hun- dred feet in height. The shoulders and breast are finely proportioned, and at the distance of a few miles the thought haunts one’s imagination that it must be a thing of life and intelligence. It rises | about 1,500 feet aboye the plain; and, of | course, in comparison with the Evyptian , wonder, it is as the hugest of Brobdignags to the smallest of Lilliputians, It is seen at a distance of 50 miles; but as yet no railroad approaches it nearer than the thriving town of Winston, which may be 20 miles distant. But a road will soon ; pass in fr : : i , wie as|! ass In front and around it on the north side. I am impressed with the belief that it is destined to become one of the world’s wonders.

It would seem to be a truth applicable by all, and especially by professors of the healing art, that to remove the disease, not to alleviate its symptonis, should be the chief aim of medication. Yet in how many instances do we see thi truth admitted in theory, ignored in practice. The reason that Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is suc- cessful in so many cases, with which remedies previously tried were inadequate to cope, is at- tributable to the fact that it isa medicine which reaches and removes the causes of the various, maladies to which it is adapted. ndigestion, fever and ague, liver complaint, gout, rheuma- tism, disorder of the bowels, urinary affections and other maladies are not palliated merely, but rooted out by it, it goes to the fountain head. It is really, not nominally, a radical remedy, and it endows the system with an amount of vigor which is its best protection against dis- ease. Fort WEICAS “ROYAL Pats K b SAB sorurery PURe Pure.

Hastening to the rear they dis- cover the incendiary as he leaps reeking from a cellar door and attempts to scale a fence. Bang! bang! for nine times, and the guilty man falls, a captive. The alarms are sounded. Prompt responses enable them to qnench the roaring flames under Buerbaum’s store. The North Car- olina Herald, Buerbaum’s store and Bingham’s store are saved, and perhaps others. But the prisoner, who is he? A negro, named Bill, notorious for his ec- centricities and for his avarice. He is told that he has but a short time to live and asked to confess the motives which led him to set fire to Buerbaum’s store. He replies, in substance, that hé thought it was Bingham’s store (fliled with pro- visions and family groceries) and that Harrison Jones (another notorious negro) had given him three silver dollars to set fire to any store along the row, so that they could carry off what they wanted in the excitement. The confession was listened to by the crowd and lynching was spoken of. The fact that he was lying on the ground and wounded, no one knew how seriously, alone saved his neck. Harrison Jones was arrested im- mediately and had to be gotten very quickly to jail to prevent lynching. The negro Bill, suppesed by some to be crazy, has since denied his statement, and now says that Harrison Jones had noth- ing to do with the burning. Bill was struck by two balis from Barringer’s re- volver, both taking effect in the left leg above the knee. The bone was struck by both balls. Such in brief is the story. The people of the town have just cause to be indignant, and to demand the heay- iest punishment the law can inflict on characters so desperate. There is no doubt that there was an organized party of pillagers waiting for the alarm, to come out and rob the mer- chants while pretending to aid them. It is a dreadful thing to contemplate. When men become so depraved as to willingly run the risk of destroying many thous- ands of dollars worth of goods for the sake of a few grabs as they are removed from the burning buildings, it is high time for the majesty of the law to visit speedy punishment upon such reckless offenders. The crime is a double one and hanging the penalty foreach. It was burglary to break into the cellar and arson to set fire to the building. There were two young men sleeping in the store.

Mr. Lawson Josey, of Gold Hill town- ship, died of consumption on the 14th inst. Aged 26 years. Albert Lyerly’s school term closed last Saturday. He taught at the Rock school- house, in Litaker township. ‘The closing exercises were interesting and consisted of speeches, dialogues, marching and a big free dinner. Every one enjoyed it and the occasion passed pleasantly, ex- cept John Barley Corn who was intoxi- cated and came very near getting into a row with Mary Tickleback. Last Monday while Jim Castor was burning some dead grass off his meadows, on the Eagle place, the fire was carricd by a high wind to a large wood adjoining. It soon got beyond control, and in a short time it had gone over 50 acres, when it was stopped. Some fifty hands were en- gaged in fighting it. It came near de- stroying soine houses.

T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR, ~ Bryan Mine. Mr. J. §. Bryan has decided, so ‘it is reported, to have the gold bearing vein, known to exist on his farm, opened this season. . ro Holtshouser Mine. Mr. Tierman who has been opening the Holtshouser mine, in Rowan county, has demonstrated its value, so that machinery is to go up there at an early day. ———~-— + Prospecting. Mr. H. H. Crowell, prospector, has been working up some new places in Rowan. He reports three new finds of importance, and those interested in new properties should not fail to see him. The Eller Mine. in Rowan will be opened soon by Messrs. J. 8S. MeCubbins Jr., aud S. R. Harrison of this place. It is a rich free milling brown ore, and promises rich returns to the promoters. ee ee New find in Montgomery. Mr. J. D. Munn reports tothe Troy Vidette, a new find in Montgomery coun- ty. The vein, indicating gold and silver, was discovered on his place, in Hollings- worth township, 9 miles southeast of Troy. It is said that both metals are visible in the pannings, the gold predomi- nating. The Russell, Coggins and Steele mines in that county are going at full blast and a larger number of hands are being em- ployed, Haile Mine. At the Haile mine, in South Carolina, a large amount of work is being done. The new system of Blake crushers and rolls recently introduced are working nicely. They were putin on trial and have not yet been received, but from ap- pearances they will be. They havea large force at work, and they mine and mill 200 tons of ore each 24 hours. They have an immense lode, some 60 feet wide. It is low grade, but uniform and pays well with the present intelligent man- agement, Big Bonanza. The Big Bonanza mine, in Rowan coun- ty, isjust now receiving the attentiom of a lot of moneyed men. The property lies 9 miles south of Salisbury. The vein is from 3 to 5 feet wide, and has been open- ed toa depth of 30 feet. The vein has been traced for 1200 feet and cut into at short intervals. The ore is brown free milling quartz, and may go into sulphu- rets below the water level. The gentle- men now interested will come to a decis- ion within the next 30 days, which, should the investigations prove satisfactory, will result in opening the mine on a perma- nent basis. eS Shive Mine. The Shive mine in Cabarrus county, is under the control of Mr. &. C. Miller, of Salisbury. He has had a new shaft sunk and six or eight tons of the ore exposed onthe dumps. He sent several tons to the Yadkin Clorination Works here, and it yielded an average of more than $13 to the ton. The property embraces 45 acres, which “straddles” the vein. The vein is two anda half feet wide, and traceable for amile. The ore isa brown quartz, and is free milling. Mr. Miller is san- guine as to the value of the property, and thinks it as good as any in Cabarrus. He reports that there is good prospect of the mine being worked regularly. This test run has proven the value of the ma- terial which is abundant as shown by the size and length of the lode. ET a BOIS 2 SE OO) ETE Quality and Cost of Fertilizers for the Five Years Past. We have made some calculations, based upon the analysis of fertilizers—more than sixty brands for each ycar—made by this Station for the last six years, and the reported prices for fertilizers for the same years. The average composition of the ammo- niated superphosphate with potash (so- called complete fertilizers,) for each year, was as follows: AMMONIATED SUPERPHOSPHATES WITH POTASH. Average in 1880. 1882. 1883.°71884. 1885. Available phos- phoric acid, 740 8.91 8.59 8.15 9.18 Ammonia, 2.70 2.60 2.33 2.67 2.65 Potash, 1.30 1.82 2.18 2.13 2.34 Valuation on the 1885 basis, $25.42 28.26 26.96 27.28 29.37 In calculating the valuations the same figures have been applied to the average analysis of each year for the purpose of comparing them. These figures prove forcibly that there has been a gradual, but steady improvement in the quality of its kind of fertilizer from 1880 to 1885. By the same analyses, the average per cent. of available phosphoric acid has in- creased from 7.40 in 1880 to 9.18 in 1885, the avesage per cent. of potash has in- creased from 1.80 in 1880 to 2.384 in 1885, while the per cent. of ammonia remains remarkably mear one figure, for all the years, except 1883, when ammoniates were unusally scarce. Thus the valuation of the average fetilizer, using the prices for 1885 for all analyses alike, has, with a few fluctuations, steadily climbed up from $25.42 per ton in 1880 to $29.37 per ton in 1855. ‘[he most remarkable thing is, that during this period 1880 to 1885, the actual cash prices paid by North Carolina farmers for these fertilizers has declined from $40 to $30 per ton. The actual sel- ling price has declined $10 per ton, while the quality or grade has improved $4 worth on the ton, making a total gain to our farmers of $14 per ton. This means that North Carolina far- mers could get in 1885 for three millions of dollars what they had to pay four mil- lions for in 1880—yes, and get an arti- cle one-sixth better than the 1880 article was. The cost of ingredients of fertilizers to manufacturers, especially of phosphates, has declined somewhat, but not enough to account for a gross ditlerence of $14 Sieenupanrtl oil < ton, for that is what the difference is tween 1880 and 1885 on a fertilizer of the ee na Manufacturers of _ fer- tilizeys will tell you and tel] you correct- ly, that the true explanation is that eom- petition, or something else in the devel- opment of this great industry, has re- duced the price of fertilizers to the far- mers from a price which included big profits toa price which now includes a very low margin of profits, while the regular analyses and publication of the composition of fertilizers by the fertilizer control stations has induced their makers to improve them constantly. These figures scarcely need any expla- nation or comment. They are sufficiently eloquent.—dg. Bulletin, TD oa A Tribute to our Home. : Stand by North Carolina.

Interfering with the States. The advocates of the Blair. educational bill vehemently disclaim any desire or purpose to interfere with or control the school system of the several States. They say that the General Government, after ap- propriating seventy-seven million doHars for schools, desires to follow the money no further than to sce to its proper distribu- tion. Yet one of the sections of the bill provides that unless a State raises by taxa- tion as much money as her share under the law, she shall forfeit the difference be- tween the amount of Federal donation and What she appropriates out of her own treasury. The government appropriation may be so high as to make the State taxa- tion under this bill a grievous burden. But the State must raise the money or forfeit its share of Federal bounty, al- though its people must contribute their equal proportion to the Federal reven- ues, , Another section of this bill forbids the use of any money appropriated by it for building school houses. While the eree- tion of more school houses for the enjoy- ment of this moncy would be necessary in many States, these States must resort to further taxation to provide the school houses, or else forfeit all right to share in the seventy-seven million dollar appropri- ation. Still it is pretended that this meas- ure does not interfere with the school legislation of the several States. It offers to bribe the States with gifts on the one hand and to coerce and punish them with forfeitures on the other. The whole spirit of the billis that of a superior toward in- feriors and dependents, —Phila. Record, Den. ee ae Physicians Have Found out. That a contaminating and foreign element in the blood, developed by indigestion, is the cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the sensitive sub-cutancous covering of the muscles and ligaments of the joints, caus— ing constant and shifting pain, and agere- gating as calcarcous, chalky deposits which produces stiffness and distortion of the joints. No fact, which experience has demonstrated in regard to IHostetter’s Sto- mach Bitters, has stronger evidence to support than this, namely, that this medi- cine of comprehensive uses checks the fur- midable and atrocious disease, nor is it less positively established that it is preferable to the poisons often used to arrest it, since the medicine contains only salutary ingre- dients. It is also a signal remedy for ma- Jarial fevers, constipation, dyspepsia, kid- ney and }ladder ailments, debility and other disorders. Sce that you get the genuine, eee Don't Kill Birds! Some time ago the Star entered its pro- test against the destruction of birds that is how going on to an alarming extent all over the country. The feathered victims are utilized for millinery purposes and the ruthless destroyer, whose name is Jegion, like David of old, slays his ten thousand every year. In one season 40,- 000 terns were killed at Cape Cod by one man; at Cobb’s Island, Va., a contractor baggad and shipped to the Paris market. 40,000 skins of gulls, and Texas sent several lots of white egrets, in quantities of 10,000 each, to New York, to supply the demand for fashionable plumes. The fashion that would extinguish the birds is neither humane or civilized; it is sim- ply cruel, and should be abandoned.—N., ¥., Star: ee ae The First Lady. In this land of boasted freedom, where it is presumed that every man or woman, provided they are honest and upright, should have a fair chance in the race ot life, to gather whatever of honors lie in their path, it issupremely disgusting to note the efforts to promote castes which would put to the blush the natives of Cal- eutta. There should be no such thing as a “first American lady.’’ There are too many noble mothers, wives, sisters, aunts and even cousins and sweethearts, to admit of such a toadying discrimination. All highminded, virtuous American ladies are the ‘‘tirst ladies of the land,” and no one Jady should carry off the palm alone. —Raleigh Visitor. e+e — Mormonism. That a large amount of sympathy has been wasted upon Mormon women is proved by the action of the female advo- cates of polygamy in Salt Lake City. At a recent crowded meeting they vigorously protested against any interference on the part of the government with their ‘rights,’ and passed resolutions denoun- cing the federal courts for attempting to enforce the laws. After such an offensive outbreak and positive glorification in their own shame, the last bit of com- punction ought to be wrung from the overnment officials, and the whole nasty rood, women as well as men, prose- cuted to the full exteut of the law.—Neu York Star. ej : Sats” # oa fe Bh as ee a NY i Men elec til ain aia ipheata tater tniachoteenti ce thee tigcatitn nc in kame tpag aii dint, i aaaaioeaiaee of corn and wine; it is a land of gold and fe bin, ge ener “Natural Gas‘Pails, ‘The suddew failre of “natural gas iu the} Pitteburg mills, last “week, has cuused a great deal of apprehension, to say nothing of surprise.

A Word to the South. [BY GEORGE T. CURTIS. ] _ Sir:—I desire to say something to intelligeat southe:n white men and women, if by chance anything that I can say will reach them. Let me put it as if I were speaking to them per- faa There are men still living in the North who have endured a great deal and sacrificed a great deal for your sakes. All through the period when things were culminating here to more or less encroachment upon or disregard for your constitutional rights, these northern men battled in defense of them; not because they liked or ap- proved of your institution of slavery, but because the guarantee which it had received in the Constitution were im- bedded in the very foundation of the Union. The conservative men of the North had a common interest with you in the preservation of the principle that all local institutions, laws, customs and conditions are exclusively reserved to the control of the several States and their people. Their adhesion and fidel- ity to this principle placed them by your side throughout that long period in which the anti-slavery agitation made your peculiar constitutional rights au object of attack. By stand- ing forth in your defense they sacrificed individually their chance for political preferment in their respective commu- nities. True, they did not feel this sacrifice, or care for it, in comparison with the transcendent importance of de- fending the basis of the Union. What- ever sacrifices of this kind any of them may have made they made cheerfully, from a sense of public duty. When at length aw condition of things came justifiable cause for disrupting the you in atlirming that cause. and be- heved it to be their duty to sustain the general government in its efforts to prevent a severance of the slave from the free States, they did not yet wholly desert you. ‘They insisted that the war in behalf of the Constitution should be contined to its legitimate objeet—the relnstiutement of the Constitution in its Just authority over all the people whom it was entitled to govern. Then, again, these men exposed themselves to misconception, to misrepresentation, to obloquy, to the loss of influence ove: public affurs. = When the war was at vhen negro suffrage was made compulsory upon you; when you were cursed with all the evils and diseraces of carpet-bag gov- ernment; when you were dominated over for atime by the most ignorant and incapable mass that ever held po- litical power in. any civilized region of the earth, and civilization itself was exposed to impending destruction, the same northern men still stood your friends. They uttered their protest in no measured terms, although they could do no more. You lived through those h@rors as you best might, scarcely foreseeing, scarcely daring to hope for any mode in which relief was to come. Your fnends here counselled you not to despair, and, you did not. Having faith themselves in the future adjust- ment of the relations between you and the emancipated race, they exhorted you to have that same faith, and you heed- ed the exhortation. © You found that the negro, after he had been taught to stuff bailot boxes, and had practiced it, as your and our great friend, Jeremiah S. Black, expressed it. “ceased to stuff and began to vote.” You then saw could learn to distinguish between his real friends and those whose object in using hin was to plunder him You thas began to regain your natural wad rightful influence over thore who had at last proved themselves capable of seeing that in political action there should be no race antagonism, and that the negro as well the white man should vote as_ bis judgment, apphed to public affairs ac- cording to his capacity, may lead him. You have now, therefore, reached a condition of things in which, if you will adhere firmly to the great principle of exclusive domestic control over that which is exclusively a domestic matter, you can manage for yourselves this problem of the education of your peo- ple of all races and conditions just as to manaye it. Let me, then, as Oue for inore than a generation has been your friend, entreat you to view tius problem according to its just di- mensions and its inevitable conditions. ln the first place, | pray to see that this matter of popular education is no diferent affair with you from what it isin any Northern State, with the sin- gle exception of the question whether the education of the whites and blacks shall be carried on in the same or in separate schools. Your situation makes this a very limportant jpractical ques- tion, But it is the oaly matter in which popular education requires spe- cial treatment in your States; and this difference arises mainly from the fact of the greater comparative numbers of the blacks among you and those in the other States. This part of the problem does not involve any other difference in the education. No State, in providing for asystem or popular education in as you ousht public schouls, would think of giving anv but the same education to all! Now, it is’ SALISBURY, N. C., MARCH 27, 1886. : not only true that the question of co- education or separate é¢dueation is a local question, but it isa question in which it would be specially dangerous for you to admit of any interference from without. True, the particular bill that is now pending in Congress did not, as reported, propose at present to exercise any interference in this matter. But if you accept the bribe that is now held to you of a grant of federal money to aid you in educating your people, how long will it be before the question of separate schools or the same schools is transferred from your State Legislatures to the halls of Con- gress? It will not be long; and I know enough of the encroaching: spir- it of most of those who are special ad- vocates of educational schemes to foresee how and where the first step will be taken for bringing this particu- lar questiog into discussion in Congress. The bill that is now offered you con- tains a reservation of aright in Con- gress to repeal, alter or amend its pro- visions; and, depend upon it, if it goes into operation, the first proposition of a change will relate to a question which you and your colored friends should never allow to be taken out of your own hands. It is as much the interest and duty of the colored people to keep this question exclusively under the con- trol of each separate State as it is the interest and duty of the whites; for the colored race have their own opin- ions and wishes on this subject, which they can only give eflect by keeping it a domestic question to be governed by their votes as well as by the votes of the whites. In the next place, let me respectfully exhort you not to embrace the delusive idea that the circumstances attending the emancipation of the slaves made the colored race wards of the nation or jest them upon the fostering care or protection of the federal government one whit beyond the force and provis- ions of the amendments of the federal Constitution adopted after the clove of the civil war. By the thirteenth amendment slavery was abolished; by the fourteenth all persons born or nat- nralized in the United States and sub- ject to the jurisdiction thereof became citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside; by the fif- teenth the States, in granting the nght of suffrage, were prohibited from deny- ing or abridging it on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude. This is the whole sum and substance of the new relation assumed by the people ot the United States toward those who were once slaves or their descendants. This new relation comprehends no daty, power or obligation of the fed- eral government to look after the per- sonal welfare of the colored race in your States or in any of the States; and nothing could be worse for you and for the colored people among you than it would be to have it admitted that the federal government is in any way bound or empowered to meddle in any form or for any purpose with the condition of the colored people, excepting to see to it that in regulating the right of suffrage the States shall crant it equal- ly to all mea who were born on Ameri- can soil or have become naturalized citizens. = Let it once be acknowledged that there is any power lodged in the general government, or any obligation muaposed upon it, to deal in any manner | with the subject of education in the several States, and there will be no limit to the schemes: for controlling the relations of the two races to each other. Marriage, divorcee, lubor, con- tracts, panperism, insanity, and hosts of other things, ave Just as much with- in the constitutional function and duty of congressional interference as education. Be warned in time, Jest you find yourselves making admissions fatal to your peace and to the welfare of your fellow citizens of every race. Resist every encroachment upon the reserved rights of the States and their people in whatever guise it first pre- sents itself. Finally, there has occurred some- thing during the past week, which will show you that your people of all classes would do well to be on their guard. An amendment has been moved, which will require a State receiving its quota of the federal money, in case the col- ored children are educated in’ separate schools, to distribute the funds to the colored schools in the proportion which illiteracy among the colored children, as shown by the census, bears to illit- eracy among the white children. If the Blair bill becomes a law with this amendment in it, the first step wall have been taken for a direct federal control over the internal administra- tion of the school system in every State which depends on federal aim in educating the young.—.¥. V. Star. ——sl “> 6 =D a An Exciting Scene in the United States Senate. Baltimore Sun. Wasninxaton, March 10, 1886.—The hundreds of spectators who thronged senate galleries to-day were treated to one of the most exciting scenes that has been witnessed at the capitol dur- ing the present session. The principal actors were Senators Riddleberger, of Virginia, and Logan, of [llinois. The oceasion of this legislative emeute was a letter from James 1. Eads to the Senate vesterday and which to-day ap- yenred in the Congressional Record. Me Riddleberger, in a loud tone of voice, demanded to know upon what anthority a personal letier addressed to John A. Logan, denying certain state- ments made by a brother Senator, should be spread upon the pages of the Record. Growing more and more ex- cited as he proceeded, Mr. Riddleber- ger intimated that he would hold Gen. ogan responsible for the publication in the Iecord. While Mr. Riddleber- ger was gesticulating, the spectators in the galleries leaned forward to take in every word, and Senators upon the floor looked at each other in consterna- tion, and wondered what the junior Senator from Virginia would next say ordo. Ag soon as Senator Logan found opportunity to speak he arose, and, turning to Mr. Riddleberger, said he was utterly astounded at the statements just made. He said he intended to cast no reflection upon the Virginia Sena- tor when he submitted Mr. Eads’s let- ter, and had simply presented it as a statement from an honorable American citizen. Mr. Logan, who is also high- strung, appeared to be laboring under excitement which he was struggling to repress. He said the Senator from Virginia could have no personal con- troversy with him, and was proceeding to move the reference of the matter toa committee, when Mr. Riddleber- ger replied that he did not seek a con- troversy with Gen. Logan, but he would defend himself from such attacks as appeared in the letter from Capt. Eads, which had been slipped into the Re- cord by Gen. Logan. In the mean- time the feeling onthe floor of the Senate and in the galleries was intense and us the colloqay proceeded Mr. Riddleberger seemed to be almost wild with excitement, and Mr. Logan to have no less difheulty in restraining himself. Mr. Riddleberger proclaimed that he did not care what committee the resolution was referred to. He would not appear before any committee, but would say all he had to say on the subject in open Senate. He then char- acterized Gen. Logan as the representa- tive of Mr. Eads, and warned him to take care of his man on the floor of the Senate. This last remark was too much for the fiery Senator from Illinois. He jumped to his feet, and at the top of his voice declared that the statement that he was the representative of Mr. Kads was untrue. A buzz of apprehen- sion went around the chamber and all present moved uneasily in their seats. Riddleberger still maintained that Lo- gan was responsible for the appearance of the letter in the Record, which res- ponsibility, he said, might have been avoided by endorsing upon the back “by request.” Just as the excitement reached its highest pitch the president pro tem. announced that the hour of 2 o'clock had arrived, and the subject went over until tomorrow, RD ee me The Forces of the Confederacy. In a letterin the Richmond Dispatch, the Rev. J. Wilhams Jones, secretary of the Southern Historical Society, states that all the ablest writers on the subject of the strength of the Confed- erate armies zerees that “the available Confederate force capable of active service in the field did not during the entire war exceed six hundred thousand (600,060) men. Of this number not more than four hundred thousand (400,000) were enrolled at any one time; and the Confederate States never had in the field more than two hun- dred thousand (200,000) men capable of bearing arms at any one time, exclu- sive of sick, wounded, and disabled.” As opposed to this, we have very nearly the exact figures of the number enrolled on the Federal side, which amount in the aggrevate, according to ine records of the adjutant general s office, to the enormous total of 2.859,- 132 men. It appears again, therefore, that the United States put into the field neurly five times us many men as the Confederacy could muster. “If, then,’ Mr. Jones reasonably con- cludes, “with these immense odds in their favor certain writers in the Cen- tury, Mr. Rossiter Johnson in New York Examiner, and other ‘historians’ (2?) of that ilk, are to be believed, and the Federal forces were beaten by ‘overwhelming numbers’ wherever we gained a victory. then there was an amount of blundering stupidity on the part of the Federal authorities and their generals with which their harsh- est critics have never yet charged them.” The better explanation of the fre- quent defeats sustained Ly the Federals is perhaps that given by Gen. Early: “Our menin gray had a habit of +o multiplying themselves in battle that each man always counted several to men opposed to them.” A Merry Judge Who Cracked a Jcke. From the Henderscn Gold Leaf.

Col. Jones devotes a column of the Observer to the WATCHMAN, in which he ways absolutely nothing germane to the read subject under discussion. He “good- naturedly” dodges ¢' "ry point, abandons his ground and starts de noro. Utterly devoid of continuity or logical conclu- sion, there is nv basis left fur an argu- meat. The discussion, if it may be so termed, might just as well come to a con- clusion, on him has fallen onus probandi, and he has nothing.

No reason is be expected to follow in the wake of that most seductive scheme introduced by Mr. Blair. The fact that the general govern- ment supplies the money is sufficient ex- cuse for the exercise of federal control over the expenditures. The Star remarks that ‘No possible barrister against this because the safeguards provided by the Democratic interpreta- tion of the federal constitution will be overthrown by the passage of this very Will. The Democratic idea is, that all matters relating toa single locality are ‘to be kept under the control of #he peo- ‘ple of that locality. This involves the conyerse proposition that all matters relegated to the federal government must be under the direct control of that gov- erument.” As we now have it the people of North Carolina pay for the teaching of the pub- lie schools; the State controls its own | system, and under it there is no possibil- ity of mixed schools. This will not be true under the operations of the Blair bill. Here the Star rightly remarks: ‘‘No one familiar with public feeling in the southern and border States can doubt for ia moment that the attempt to educate | white and colored children in the same schools would result in the complete breakdown of the public school system. 'One of two things would surely happen. The white children would be withdrawn and the colored childred alone enjoy the advantages of the school fund raised by public taxation, or else school taxes would cease to be levied and public schools no longer be maintained.” The situation now becomes apparent to all. If Congress gets the control of the education of the people, rest assured that the experiment of mixed schools will be tried. The result is foreshadowed in the above paragraph. It is painful to sce the wholesale deser- tion of Democratic principles by southern men in Congress. It is hard to conjec- ture how it has been brought about. The tendency is to weaken and demoralize the Democratic party, and it comes, too, just as the principles of that party are on theascending scale in national affairs. The Slar presents the situation in just the light we sce it, and with full approval, we quote: “Should this demoralization go far enough, those Northern States would again be represented almost exclusively by Republicans, and that party would thereby secure a majority in both houses of Congress and obtain control of the Presidency. Once more, then, a sectional party, drawing its whole strength from the North, and influenced by the senti- mental ideas of those who have never been brought into close contact with the negro race, would have complete com- mand of federal legislation. It would find in the Blair billa weapon fashioned to its purpore of destroying the constitu- tional limitations that have thus far stood in the way of its march toward centrali- zation. It would be subjected to a pres- sure from its own supporters in the North and from the blacks, whom it al- ways has hoped would eventually become its effective supporters in the South, tp put an end to all discrimination between the races. The influences that brought a Republican Congress in the past to at- tempt to force colored men in the thea- ters, hotels and steamboat saloons on terms of equal association with the whites would be certain to compel a similar attempt on the public schools. If those schools are supported, even in part, by federal aid, that aid would only be continued on condition that the whites assigned for his desire to go hence. ————_- Colonel Charles R.

Jones will return, unlimber and fire again Irom his great big fist. a “Uncle laniel’s Story.” This is the title of General “Black Jack” Logan’s novel. It is a story of the war, bitter and partisan, reviving s andals and is said to be a book “filled with envy, mal- ice and all uncharitableness.” The New York Star of Sunday published liberal ex- tracts, filling nineteen columns of that paper. Part of the introductory editorial is as follows: In viving so much space to an adequate exploitation of General Logan's novel the public will surely justify us, on the ground of immediate interest as well as of future archalogical value. Into this book the author seemsto have poured his most posi- tive and fiery conviction, As one of the *Putres Conseripti” of the republic, he is hedged in by the frigid decorum of the Senate. He must “let I dare net wait upon I would” before the dignities of his position. The chated and chained energics of the man, however, find glorious license in an anonymous novel. Herein lies the signifi- cance of “Uncle Daniel’s Story.” In the earlier pages of the noyel there is much of interest, though they are lacking in the political sigiticance which make the later chapters unique. The description ot battle, which we tor the most part omit, are graphic and vivid. It lacking in the higher literary value, these pictures are painted by one who could say with Encas, in his tale to Dido, “Magna pars fui.” The splendid soldiership of Logan belongs to | the war history of the country, The chapters devoted to the part played by the peace members of the Democratic party, known under the name of Copper- heads, in the organized propaganda of the “Knights of the Golden Circle,” are full of statements likely to arouse fierce discus- sion. General Logan boldly accuses the men plainly indicated under the names of Dan Bowen, Thomas A. Strider, Valumburg | | and others not only of seeking by all legitimate means to bring about an early cessation of strife and a restoration of shat— tered relations; he categorically accuses | them of open collusion with the armed foes | of the Union; with co-operation with them! ip} in infamous plots; with high treason such : : : - } > < | part of the Indian Affairs Committee. as in any other would have made them liable to the block or the gibbet.

The | plain implication is that these men were! either acquainted with, or that they winked | at, the conspiracy which culminated in one of the most heinous political assassinations | of history.

With the Senate’s investigation of the Administration, the House Com- mittee’s investigation of Pan Electric stock, and another investigation of the Commissioner of Pensions in regard to the charges he brought against his pre-' decessor, Dudley, it would seem that the spirit of inquiry were raging here now. On the contrary all these affairs are dismal farces. No sensations have been envolved from the Telephone business, and public interest in_it is rapidly sub- siding. Hon. Casey Young has contra- dicted the imputations against the At- torney-General, and in seeking letters for publication as testimony, out of 212 five were from Mr. Garland, none of which bear on the subject under inves- tigation. Gen. Black is well fortified with proof of his allegations against ex- Commissioner Dudley’s Republican Pension Machine. He has submitted cases of gross irregularity, showing that claims were advanced and allowed as partisan rewards, and he has hun- dreds of affidavits in reserve. As to the Senate’s fight for papers, none but the blindest of partisans can see any other outcome of the Republi- san situation than a surrender. ‘There is adesire on the part of most of the Senators who have followed Mr. Ed- munds’ lead to drop the contest as soon as possible and to say as little as possi- ble about it. The debate has involved so many Senators in contradictions and inconsistencies that it has clearly strengthened the President in his posi- tion. It has also served to direct at- tention to the evils of secret sessions so intently that their very existence 1s strongly threatened. The weakest point of the Republican position is that they have called for this information to be used in Star Chamber sessions. If the Senate con- sidered the President’s appointments in open session, there would be much excuse for these attacks upon him for his secrety. Senator Edmunds is sorely cut by the revolt of the Finance Committee. Its resolve to report the nominations of Internal Revenue Collectors referred to it in spite of the caucus, was a square back down from the Republican position. And the present week is ly to witness similar action on the and other Committees which are weary of the useless contest. There was never any genuineness or cohesion in the movement, and it re- quired little political keenness to see The obstruction was a political blunder, and there was so little interest in it that the public did not even charge its mind with the task of keeping up with the The indignation which was pumped up was false and labored, and there has been no time when the Ke- publican Senators ina body have not regretted the course into which they were dragooned by the rasping selfish- ness from Vermont. As en experi mental issue it has been a dismal fal- lure. and is only astonishing that the pretense was kept up as long as it was. Mach was expected by the majority of Senators from their colleague, Mr. Spooner, the new Senator from Wis- Oldham for the Legislatare. THE SENTINEL learns from a Wilmington correspondent that almost as many dollars worth of goods were stolen during the re- cent disastrous fire in that city as were destroyed by the fire. We further note that this appears to be prevalent, more or less, at-every fire within late years. A thief who would steal under such circumstances is deserving of more that the usual punish- ment allotted to roguesin general. If THE SENTINEL were a member of the Legislature, it would offer a bill making larceny at or on account fo fires, a misdemeanor pupish- able by a life-term in the Penitentiary, and we believe such a measure would not only easily pass, but meet with the hearty ap— probation of the suffering people.» Sentinel. =-e@ Why is it, poor sinful mortals that we are, that we persist in the practice of wound- ing the feelings of our fellow creatures?

He had a hearing before Esquire Bringle and was committed on the charge of rape.” The woman is a daughter of John Shepheard, of Morgan township, who is a cripple. She is so near sighted as to be unable to work for her own support, and her crip- ple father is unable to care for her. She thus falls a charge on the charity of the county. Her testimony was clear and convincing. The negro tried to prove an alibi, but confessed to have been passing the poor house at the time Miss Shep- heard says she was attacked. The negro, Franklin Gaston, says he is from Lynech- burg, Va., and has only been in this county about 18 months.

I ain not posted on matters of law froma legal standpoint, but I observe the effects certain laws have on the people. Clod Kuocker ought to know what the Homestead is as he thought at one time it was a stead that would suit hin. But its getting to be an old law now, and might be wiped out. It has saved many a man ahome and has been a boon to the widow. It was in- tended as a relief to war and security debts, but time has arranged those affairs and there is no further occasion for it. If we could get a law that would lift the laboring man up and preyent his being 2s ape ene aaa About Cotton Weighing. A correspondent who writes with a lead pencil, and who signs himself ‘‘Pea- ter” sends two communications which we decline to publish.

But the mort- gage is what is ruining our country. Itis the mortgage system that holds our peo- ple down—keeps their noses to the grind stone. The mortgage alone, is bad enough, but when one contemplates the awful usury and complete slavery of the ——-——-— | svstem, it becomesappalling. The mer- chant says: Give me a mortgage on your crop, your horse and cow, and, sometimes, on your household and kitehen furniture, and then I will let you have what goods you need. Now the mortgage is signed ll show you the goods. ‘The farmer Says: “TP want ten bushels of corn, what do you sell it at?” “One dollar a bushel.” So the farmer must pay $1 for what others pay 75 cents for, There is 25 cents on the bushel and a good note at eight per cent. interest.

Hundreds of cotton brokers and dozens of ladies witnessed the operation. piece of wood, with cotton plants spring- ing from it at intervals of two or three feet, was fixed to the floor of the Exchange, and the ‘Cotton Harvester,” = which isthe name bestowed upon the machine, was passed over it. After its passage, the machine left the wood as bare as apple trees in the middle of winter. The cotton plucked from it was found to be comforta- bly stowed away in Sacks placed at the end of the machine. Mr. James F. Graham, the secretary and treasurer of the United States Cotton Harvester Company, ex- plained the working of the new inyen- tion. Mr. Owen T. Bugg said that the new machine would save one dollar expense on every bale of cotton gathered, and would thereby effect an annual saving of at leust $50,000,000. The cotton harvester is drawn by two horses and is about half the weight of a grain harvester. It only requires two hands O operate it; one to drive and the other to replace the sacks that have been filled. According to Mr. Bugy, the earning capa- city of the invention is twenty times greater thau that of a grain harvesting machine. Funeral of Mrs. Robert B. Vance.

This machine is a combination of silver plates so as to represent a large amalga- mating surface, working with rapidity and efficacy, which has not hitherto been acgom- plished. The drawing above represents the machine in working position. It consists of four corrugated plates fitted together, allowing a space between of inch. Two lates are perpendicular, connecting with two horizontally inclined. The pulp passes rom the battery and falls perpendicularly through the plates, which gives it a zigzag motion, causing the free gold to impin_e on each side, when it passes through the horozontally inclined plates, which act as riffles, catching any escaped gold both en tep and bottem. The plates discharge in a circular pan at the end which is given a rotary motlon, thus concentrating the heavier portion of the tailings for subsequent treatment if necessary. At the top of the machine is a mercury cup which feeds automatically any required mercury to keep the plates in active force. This machine is especially adapted for placer mines. It can be worked with or without water; it requires no mill for pulverization, it only Leing necessary to sift the sand, which can be done at a triffing cost, so that low vrade ore can be worked profita- bly. This machine has been practically tested and is now on the Herring: mine, Randolph county, where it met with such elcces as to warrant the belief that it will be of gceat value to the mining interest of this State. . This machine has an electrical attachment by which the mercury, chould it be siek- ened by the various Causes to which it is liable, can be instantly restored to activity. Inspection is invited. Estimates given for the erection of this machine on placer and other mines; also for all other Mining Machinery by the undersigned, A. B. TRIPLER, Hannersville, Randolph County. N.

For the Watchman. “Daddy's Little Mule.” Daddy’s little mule is a combination, Of innocence and mirth; He’s the finest “‘baist’’ in all nation, Of ‘‘antideluvian”’ birth. He’s nitrogen plus oxygen And hydrogen combined; The double essence of coxigen With manners quite refined. He’s labored here a thousand years, Bright shining as the sun; But death and hell now no more fears Than when he first begun. His conscience now cannot be sierd, His heart is as hard as stone; His “gravitation” must still be feard If he gets a chance ‘‘he’s gone.” His constitution is very well, It takes in corn and hay; The only difference I can tell Both ends are turning gray. He trots a mile in sixty days, When going away from home, But set him on the homeward way, He’d scale a palace doome. How long he’ll stay here, is not for me Or any one else to say; Perhaps, his destined end will be To dry up, and “blow away.” For this muly, daddy will not sell, But feeds him dollar corn; He says he’s going to treat him well Till Gabriel blows his horn. And then to rest poor thing will go To strut the gilded streets; With tail a wagging to and fro His ancient friends to greet. But Satan will see the little fel, And leave his courts below; To drag poor muly down to h-l, Where all the “scamps”’ will go. Yours to weep, BILL SNIPEs. —_—- a For the Watchman. A Correction. In as much as R. L. Bame, who taught the public school in this district, has circulated certain reports in regard to the school, we the undersigned com- mittee, feel constrained to state the Jacts in the case as they stand— We employed Mr. Bame to teach school, when the school was a little over half up, Mr. Bame called a meet- ing of the committee to ascertain whether there was any objection to him having an exhibition when his school closed. We gave our consent, but advised that the scholars should not ttke up too much time in preparing tnemselves for the exhibition. They went to work and had about completed everything necessary for their exhibi- tion, when the question of music arose. Bame then told the scholars that they should have no exhibition unless they would agree to pay three-fourths of cost of music. Finally they agreed to pay it. Then, just before close of school he backed down on everyining and (through false representation ) having his vouchers signed by the com- mittee, ran away a half day before his school should have closed, and has not been seen in the district since. The scholars had to employ another teach- er, Mr. Buchanan, who conducted the exercises of the exhibition, which was quite a success. Now, Mr. Bame, to cover his bare acts, says he was forced to leave the school on account of the larger schol- ars—-that they had threatened to do him bodily injury, &c. This we denounce us utterly false. Mr. Bame repeatedly used language before the school for which he should have been dismissed from the school, but we endured with the hope that it would not be repeated. We hate to appear in public in this matter, but feel it our duty to defend our District when it is unjustly assailed and falsely represented. We hope that other committee-men may be more for- tunate in selecting a teacher than we have been. O. V. Poot, Monroe Casper, Committee 7th District, Providence Township. — ~~ Gen.

The citizens of Salisbury raised a moun- ted company of fifty-tive men, with John Beard as Captain, and dispatched them on the old Concord road to meet and escort him to the town. The Com- any camped 16° miles from Salisbury; and Dr. Gece Caldwell, then a young physician, who was ensign of the com- | pany, was sent with a detachment of | thirteen cavalry to meet the President near South Carolina line. After much impatient anxiety to see him, his car- riage at length appeared in the dis- tance. Approaching it with trembling embarrassment, they were disappointed to tind only his gaudily-dressed Secre- tary, who informed them that the Gen- eral was some distance in the rear, riding on horseback. Dr. Caldwell, who tells something of the story in_ his ; ; a h; quaint Autobiography, informs us that ; deur r diay eh ‘This is not only cruel, but it 1s unpro- he had a set speech of welcome which he had prepared and memorized with SALISBURY, N. C., APRIL 1, 1886. great care, but when he drew near he was so overawed by the presence of the majestic hero and statesman that all his speech vanished from his memory, his pore of utterance left him and in cogfusion and chagrin he could only give a silent salutation. But the familiar and affable address of Washington soon dispelled his em- barrassment, and they moved forward, engaging in lively conversation about the Revolutionary history of adjacent localities, the President evincing much interest in his remarks and inquiries. From the record it is probable that they passed through Charlotte, then a small village, without stopping, al- though they found an immense con- course of people assembled to greet him. They reached Salisbury on a pleas- ant day about 10 o’elock in the morn- ing. An interesting feature in his re- ception was, that in addition to the escort of cavalry, he was met near the town by a company composed of little boys, who presented quite a pecu- liar and grotesque appearance from the fact that they all wore buck tails in their hats. This incident was very pleasing to the President. He was received by a vast assemblage of the citizens of the town and surrounding country at the old Court-House, which stood in the public square. From there he retired to dine at the hotel of Col. Yarborough, who, I. believe, was the father of the late Col. Yarborough, of Raleigh. *The hotel was the house that was occupied not long since by Mr. Price, between the Mansion House and the present site of the Court-House. That night he supped and lodged at Hughes’ hotel, opposite the present Boyden House; and returned next morning tor break- fast to Yarborough’s. At night the town was brilliantly illuminated with a real North Carolina effulgence—with lamps (doubtless of a primitive style) and burning tar bar- rels; and apiece of artillery on the square continued, at intervals, to peal its loud salute. A worthy old citizen, Richard Wal- ton, an emigrant from Great Britain, who had met King George, approached the General on the public square and seizing his hand, exclaimed: “I have shaken hands with one king and you are the second.” When the excited people gathered around Yarborough’s and clamored for asight of him, he came to the door, and holding a white handkerchief over his head to screen him from the sun, he simply said, “You see nothing but an old gray-haired man.” When he arrived in town the muni- cipal authorities presented him an ad- dress, expressing their delight at his visit andthe fervor of the universal welcome which the grateful people gave him: to which he made the following response——the original copy of which, with his autograph, was kindly furnish- ed by Mrs. Wilham G. McNeely, from the literary remains of Judge McCoy: “To THE INHABITANTS OF THE TOWN OF SALISBURY: GENTLEMEN:— Your expressions of satisfaction at my arrival in Salisbury are received with pleasure and thanked with sincerity. The interest yeu are pleased to take in my personal welfare excites a sensibility proportional to your goodness. While I make the most grateful acknowledgement for that goodness, allow me to observe that your own determination, co-operating with that of your fellow-citizens throughout the Union, to maintain and verpetuate the Federal government, af- fords a better assurance of order and effective government, with their con- comitant private and public prosperity, that the best meant endeavors of any individual could give. Our national glory and our domestic tranquility can never be tarnished or disturbed, while they are guided by wise laws, founded on public virtue. Among the measures which an en- lightened and patriotic legislature will pursue to preserve them, [ doubt not the means of diffusing useful informa- tion will be duly considered. My best wishes tor the prosperity of your village and for your individual happiness are sincerely offered. G. WASHINGTON.” After breakfast at Yarborough’s he left town accompanied by a more numerous mounted escort, who con- ducted him to Salem, thence to tle battle ground at Guilford Court-House, and there bidding him adieu, left him to the lavish praise and offerings of a concourse of the people of that sec- tion. The people of Salsbury of every class were intpressed with the plainness of his apparel and his affable manners. He was dressed in plain homespun and was courteous and pleasant to all. He expressed himself more pleased with the plain, frank, earnest welcome of Sieniey than the gaudy and fastastic reception at Charleston. *Col.

Bennett Stood up Manfully (but alone) Against the Squandering Pension Bill. From the Wadesboro Times. Hocse oF REPRESENTATIVES, Washington, D. C., March 10, ’86. I am proud of your letter of the 8th current. It is one of many tokens just to hand from discreet men like yourself, who see the evil against which I have stook up alone, and who know the pressure upon a member of Congress to go with the great majority in such cases, and have regard for the courage of a man who says no. Let me enlarge on the matter a mo- ment. The United States Government has paid $835,000,000 as pension money since 1866. The 12 States of the South, includ- ing West Virginia, which follow the Confederaey, pay 4 of this staggering total, which makes $183,000,000 paid by the South to the North for which there is no return to the South. Out of a total of 539,780 pensioners since 1861, these 12 States have had but 20,000 pensioners. The appropriation this year for pen- sions is $80,000,000—} of this paid by the 12 Southern States. $800,000,000 of public debt have been paid since '66—$200,000,000 of this nave been paid by the South. I conclude that the South pays an- nually now to the North without any equivalent in return: + principal of debt paid $20,000,000 tinterest “ “ 12,000,000 pensions “ 20,000,000 I Total, 52,000,000 In the face of all this, knowing it as I do, sympathising with the distress and poverty of my people as I do, it would be a crime in me to stay here and vote for these oppressive measures, which make and keep the Southland poor. [am bold in the maintainance of these views and heart-helped by the cordial support of my dear people. May God, bless you, cordially, Rt. T. BENNETT. I A True Statement About the Blair Bill. There is a provision requiring the Secretary of the Interior to investigate complaints of discriminations in the appheation of funds. What next? Quarrels between the whites and blacks of different sections are to be adjusted, and this would lead to the establish- ment of another odious Freedman’s Bureau. There is another provision requiring samples of all school books to be tiled with the Secretary of the In- terior. ‘Think of that! Books to be inspected. ‘This looks to the rejection ot every Southern book; no Southern idea is to be inculeated! And State Officers, mind you, State Officers, to make annual reports to the Interior Department at Washington of the number of school districts and number of white and colored children. Heaven avert the dire calamity that the passage of this Biair bill might bring upon our people—oppressive taxation, social ne- gro equality and the final overthrow of State governments and State rights !-- Pittsboro Home. (That’s the sort of law that some of the Democratic members of Congress from North Carolina want to force through the House.--Charlotte Demo- erat, tf A Not Afraid of Threats. The House should demand a report from the education committee on the Blair bill. That a measure fraught with such important consequences to the people should be delayed is bad enough, but, for it to be smothered in committee would be unpardonable. The Democratic party of the South desires the passage of the bill and its wishes should be heeded. If Democratic Con- gressinen from this section fail to do their duty in the matter they must ex- sect to take the consequences of such lack of party fealty —Aauleigh Observer. But suppose the opponents of the Blair bill threaten back,and say that if the Democratic Congressmen from their section fail todo their duty by voting against the iniquitous measure they may expect to be defeated next time in some way or manner. When the Observer says that “the Democratic party of the South desires the passage of the Bill,’ it should make many thousand exceptions. including about twenty six Democratic papersin North Carolina, edited by as good and true men and Democrats as ever lived. You can see how threats can be handled on both sides: Suppose the twenty-six Democratic papers in this State that oppose the bad Bill were to declare that they would not support a member of Congress for re-election or a candidate for Governor who voted for the Blair Bill, don’t you see how the Democratic party would be divided and its opponents triumph ? The papers that oppose the Blair bill did not begin making threats, but they can take part in that sort of work if forced upon them. We allude to the matter now not for the mere purpose of holding the Ral- eigh Observer responsible for a declara- tion, but because several other Blair papers have intimated the same threat. we want to give them all alittle frienc- ly warning.— Home Dentocrat.

It makes precious little difference to this paper what the Republican press think of its politics. Its cditurs are fairly content when they are on the side opposed to the belief and teachings of such papers as the Republicun. That very fact is the best evidence that the WATCHMAN is right.

The} latter was referred to a sub-committee, : who reported one bill to the fnll commit: | tee, so that there is a Senate and a House | bill in the hands of the comninittee. The} whole matter has been postponed to the | third Friday in April and will then be | further postpoued. The committee stands seven to six against the bill, but the; vote via postponement has been seven to four. . The chairman, Mr. Aiken, of South Carolina, is suffering at home from a fall on the ice last winter. ‘Phe acting chair- man, Mr. Chandler, of Georgia, does not vote, as he could not change the result of the other 1] members. Miller, of Texas; Maybury, of Michigan; Burnes, of Mis- souri; Mahoney. of New York and Wil- kins, of Ohio, Democrats, and Strait, of Minnesota, and Isaae H. Taylor, of Ohio, Republicans, oppose the bills; and W illis, of Kentucky, Democrat, and Whiting, of Massachusetts; Campbell, of Pennsylvania, and O'Donnell, of Michigan, Republicans, favor them. The cominittee will not re- port unless compelled and there will be uo compulsion. Mr. Reid, of North Carolina in looking up precedents found one instance in which a meinber, his predecessor, now Governor Seales, of North Carolina, induced the House to order a committee to report. The precedent does not seem to count for much, for Mr. Reid’s resolution of inquiry as to the right of the House to compel a report lies among the archives of the Com- mittee on rules where its slumber will be undisturbed. It may be remarked in passing, that if the Committee on Educa- tion should report, the matter could not come before the House out of é6rder, un- less by consent of the Committee or a two-thirds vote of the House. { Mr. Reid had better be helping Mr. Henderson and Mr. Cowles tight the Internal Revenue, and thus lift an ae- tual burden off the people, instead of trying to grind more taxes from them tu support the Blai.-grab-steal.—Eb. ] Mr. Willis, the godfather, or more prop- erly, perhaps, guardian ad litem of the bill, understanding perfectly the situa- tion, proposes to change his tactics. There are five committees, in his opinion, ready to report a biil favorably if they had one. We will introduce, probably to-morrow, a bill differing, in some slight particulars, from those alresdy sent to the Committee on Education, and move its reference to another comuittee, which a majority can do. This will be a tcst vote, and if a majority favor the bill, such reference will be ordered, and the first real step in advance will be gained, This new committee, being so pledged beforehand, may be relied upon to make an early report, which can be done dur- ing the morning hour of any day except the first and third Monday in each month. The bill, as it relates to the ap- propriation of money, will go to the foot of the calendar of the Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union, which is generally taken up in its order, This is just the position of the bill in the last House. It reccived a favorable report and secured a place on the calen- Had not the press better or-| and at|erder without a two-thirds vote, which iis much more under the control of the | majority.

But, after calling up the bill, which the committee reporting it has a right to do, it is under the control of a majority of the House, who nay move the previous ques- tion and pass it without delay. Thus, if a majority of the House be in favor of Mr. Willis’ new bill after its report from a cominittee, it may be taken up as a mat- ter of right by the committee reporting it, and passed in short order.

Mr. Willis’ motion was then agreed to —yeas 138 nays 113—so the bill was _re- ferred to the committee on labor. Mr. Bennett of North Carolina was the only man from this State who voted for Mr. Miller’s amendment, which shows his opposition to the movement. We honor him for his vote. It represented a large and grow- ing sentiment in North Carolina. ee a Mr. Henderson's Revenue Eills. The attention of the reader is called to the bills below, which have been in- troduced in Congress by Hon. John 5. Henderson. They have been read twice and referred to the Committee on Judiciary. These bills provide for least some relief from the oppression of the internal revenue laws. It seems almost impossible to get Congress to consider the question of rehef from this source, yet Mr. Henderson and Mr. Cowles are both earnest in their en- deavors to get some kind of relief. Mr. Henderson is especially to be com- mended for his efforts in this direction. The bills imtroduced by him are as follows: A BILL To amend section thirty-three hundred thirty-two of the Revised Statutes so as to effectually prevent the wrongful seiz- ing, mutilation, or destruction of stills and other distilling apparatus, and to punish internal revenue officers guilty of violating these prohibitions, That section thirty-three hundred and thirty-two of the Revised Statutes, and the supplement thereto, be amended so that said section shall reed as follows: “When a judgment of forfeiture in any case of seizure is recoyered agaist a dis- tillery used or fit for use in the produc- tion of distilled spirits, because no bond has been given, or against a distillery used or fit for use in the production of spirits, having a registered producing ca- pacity of less than one hundred and fifty gallons a day, every still, doubler, worm, worm-tub, mash-tub, and ferinenting-tub therein shall be sold as in case of other forfeited property, without being mutila- ted or destroyed. And in case of a seiz- ure of a still, doubler, worm, worm-tub, fermenting-tub, or mash-tub, or other dis tilling apparatus of any kind, for any otfense involving forfeiture of the same, it shall be the duty of the seizing officer to remove the same from the place where seized to a place of safe storage ; and said property so seized shall be suld as provi- ded by law, without being mutilated or destroyed. And in case of a wrongful seizure, or in case of a mutilation or des- truction of any such property, the owner thereof shall have aright of action on the official bond of such offending officer; or otherwise against him, for all damages caused thereby, and such offending officer shall be guilty of a@ misdemeanor, and shall be punished by fine or imprison- mennt, or both, in the discretion of the court.” Sec. 2. That all laws in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. A BILL To amend section thirty-two hundred and | fifty-five of the Revised Statutes so as to) provide for the abolition of storekeepers at the same distilleries, and for other purposes. That section thirty-two hundred and | fifty-five of the Revised Statutes be} amended by adding, after the word | “serapes,” in said section, the words “and all other fruits,’ and by addimg at the end of said section the following: “The Secretary of the Treasury shall exempt all distilleries which mash ten bushels of grain, or less, per day, from the operations of the provisions of this title relating tothe manufacture of spirits, | except as to the payment of the tax, Which said tax shall be Jevied and col- lected on the capacity of said distilleries; and said distilleries shall be run and | operated without storekeepers, or store- | keepers and gaugers. And the Comiis- | proval of said Secretary, may exempt) any distilleries which mash over ten and | not exceeding twenty-five bushels of grain per day from the operations of the | provisions of this title relating to the | manufacture of spirits, except as to the! payment of the tax, which said tax shall | be assessed and collected upon the capac- | ity of the distillery so exempted, as here- | inbefore provided; and the said Commis- | sioner, with the approval of the said Sec- | retary, may establish special warehouses, in which he may cause to be deposited the product of any number of such dis- tilleries to be designated by him, and in which any distiller operating any such distillery may deposit his product, which, when so deposited, shall be subject to all the laws and regulations as to bonds, tax, removal, and otherwise as other ware- houses; and the Commissioner of Internal | Revenue, with the approval of said Sec- retary, is hereby authorized to make such rules and regulations as may be necessary to execute the provisions of this section.” Sec. 2. That all laws in conflict with | this act are hereby repealed. A BILL the horrors and cruelty of the punish- ments imposed for violation of the inter- nal revenue laws. That section thirty-two hundred and fifty-seven of the Revised Statutes be amended by striking out all after the word ‘‘premises,”’ in line six and insert- ing in lieu thereof the following: “And shall be fined not exceeding one thousand dollars or imprisoned not ex- ceeding three years, or both in the dis- cretion of the court.” Sec. 2.

That section thirty-two hund- red and sixty-six of the Revised Statutes be amended so that all after the word “rectifying,” in line nine, down to and including the word ‘offense,’ in Jine thirteen, shall read as follows: “And every person who does any of the acts prohibited by this section, or aids therein or causes or procures the same to be done, shall be fined not ex- ceeding one thousand dollars or impris- oned nat exceeding two years, or both, in the discretion of the court.” Sec. 6.

Ans. None. The Association is a stock company and stock- holders pay in’ the money for their stock in instalments of 25 cents a share every Saturday, besides paying an entrance fee which it is understood will be consumed in expenses. But these instalments are not dues like the dues paid monthly by various socie- ties and lodges. But just as the capital of railroads. and banks is generally paid in in instalments, so the shareholders 1ere pay in their money in installments. If I become a stockholder how could I getaloan?

When your turn comes, if the se- curity you ofier is found satisfactory the loan is granted; and when the papers are signed the moncy will be paid you. Are such associations in’ successful operation elsewhere? Ans. Yes. Some in your own State. Two in Charlotte are doing much in building up the town. There are many thousands of them in England. A Royal Commission inquired into their working in 1872, and reported that the assets of such societies in 1870 were 18 million pounds, and their annual income 11 million pounds, The Queen’s Building Society at Manchester in 1878 had-an income of 734,000 pounds, and the Brikbeck Building Society in London re- ceived in one year 44 million pounds— about 22 million dollars, the most of which, however, was deposits. _ So that in England this is considered one of the safest kind of ways for investing money.

It “pebble” from which spectacle glasses are made, and it is met with in jewelry under the names of “California diamonds,” ‘Alaska diamonds,” ‘‘Lake George dia- monds,” “white stone,” &c. The hand- some purple amethystine varieties are prized in jewelry. The specimen sent has not depth or uniformity of color; both of which are essential to a gem stone. If found in quantity, of good color and of exceptional perfection as a crystal, thcy would be of value as cabinet specimens. There are popular superstitions con- nected with many gems. The amethyst is credited with the power to prevent violent passions in the possessor and it is supposed to be sacred to the month of February. singly is 99 66 The Atlanta Brown Stone Company have a large plant of machinery in At- lanta, where they work up the brown sandstone from Anson county, this State.

The drawing above represents the machine in working position. Ht ¢onsiste of four corrugated p'ates fitted together, allowing a space between of 4 inch. Twe plates are perpendicular, connecting with two horizontally inclined. The pulp passes trom the battery and falls perpendicularly through the plates, which gives it a zigzag motion, causing the free gold to impin_e on each side, when, it passes th horozontally inclined plates, which act as riffles, catching any escaped gold both on and bottom. The plates discharge in a circular pan at the end which 1s given @ motlon, thus concentrating the heavier portion of the tailings for subsequent treatment if necessary. At the top of the machine is a mercury cup which feeds automatically any required mercury to keep the plates in active force. |. This machine is espeeially adapted for placer mines. It can he worked with or without water; it requires no mill for pulverization, it only being necessary to sift the sand, which can be done at a triffing cost, #0 that low grade ore can be worked profita- bly. This machine has been practically tested and is now on the Ierring mine, Randolph county, where it met with such euceess as to warrant the belief that it will be of geeat value to the mining interest of this State. . This machine has an electrical attachment by which the mercury, thould it. besiek- ened by the various causes to which it is liable, can be instantly restored to activity. Inspection is invited, Estimates given for the erection of this machine on placer and other mines; also for all other Minin® Machinery by the undersizned, oe A. B. TRIPLER.

Ah! grave, thou hast a precious treasure. Within thee are the hands that led me, the tongue that gently taught me, and the face that smiled im holiest sympathy upon me. Alas! and shall [ never see them any more? Be still my soul!

There’s a mighty eloquence proving | to my spirit, as | kneel by thy grave, dear mother, that we shall meet again! Glorious hopes appeal to thee, my soul, to cheer thee in thy sorrows and make thee faithful unto death. Thou still hast her blessing and love—for the prayers of a mother do not die when she dies, and the real heart and its sin- less sympathies are never buried in the tomb. Her love is purer and warmer now, for it comes froin ‘sainted spinit shores.” Thou shalt find her again in eae 5 “the bosom of bliss.” —~m- ——-— N. C. Diamonds. Danbury Reporter.

Some people estimate the ability of a periodical and the talent of its editor by the quantity of its original matter, frothy writer to string out a column of words upon any and all subjects. His ideas may flow in one weak, washy, everlasting flood, and his command of language may enable him to string them together like bunches of onions, and yet his paper may be but a meagre and poor concern. Indeed, the mere writing part of éditing a paper is but a small portion of the work. The care, the time employed in selecting, is far more important, and the fact of a good editor is better shown by his selections than anything else; and that, we know, is half the battle. But we have said, an editor ought to be estimated, his labor understood and appreciated, by the general conduct of his paper—its tone, its uniform, consistent course, aims, mainliness, dignity, and it pro- priety. ee a ae A Mysterious Case. On the 7th of last July Gabriel Vin- cent, aged about seventy-five years, dis- appeared. He lived in the southern part of Alamance county. Last Sunday the remnants of the shirt, trousers, and hat which he wore, his skull, and a few of the larger bones of his body were found in athicket within a quarter of a mile where he was last seen at work field. The remains were found within Chatham county. ‘The coroner of the county was notified and an in- quest will be held. At the time of Vincent's death many believed he had been foully dealt with to prevent him from giving testimony. That opinion still prevails. ‘There 1s something mys- terious about the death. At the time search was made all through that coun- ty, but nothing could be found within a few hundred yards of where he was last seen. ————____ b> Poe A Very Curious Case.

He says: “The way to resume specie payments, Horace Greeley said, was to resume and the way to get rid of the sparrows is to kill them forthwith. Cats and dogs will not eat poisoned grain. Let the sparrows first be baited at some few points, and then when they get in the habit of going there to feed, give them poison on stated days. ‘There is no danger of poisoning other birds except —_- SS Sn eee A party who is wintering on the top ‘of Mount Washington, N’ H., at the ‘United States signal station, says: “A peeuliarity of Mount Washington, due to its rarefied atmosphere, is the fact that it takes longer time, and of course more fuel, to do the cooking.

The Greensboro Prohibitionists have nominated a ticket for town others and ‘will make a fight on that line. We re- gret to see the question complicated in this way. Prohibition will come but It ought not not to be burdened with any mii’s unpopularity. The Greensboro nominees are all good men and yet it is possible that there are, Prohibitionists who would prefer to vote for other men. ‘Lhe cause is in danger of losing votes When men must support a certain municipal tic et to secure prohibition. Qur belief is that it should divorced from every other question, and the de- sire to secure it in a day ought not to prompt its advotes to hamper it by making it carry men into ottice. No man ean successfully defend the whis- j Let the fight be against that and not for office.—The State Chronicle. Why do not the Prohibition men work under our local option law, which is similar to that under which Georgia has become a Prohibition State? By so doing the question is isolated from political and other ques- tions and will go before the voters of towns, townships and counties, on its merits, which is certainly the true method for obtaining a permanent tri- umph.—Ep. —>-—>- as WASHINGTON LETTER. (From Our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, March 29, 1886. When the blind Chaplain. of the House of Representatives, in his morn- ing prayers, asked for the recoyery of the Secretary of the Treasury, he ex- tends his invocation in a way that was quite unnecessary. He prayed that the President, his Cabinet, and the two Houses of congress might profit by this example of overwork, bearing in mind that the body has its laws, the study and the practice of which are obligato- ry on every man of sense. So far as this busy, hard worked Administration is concerned, Dr. Milburn’s petition seemed well enough, but it was felt that there was no need of placing before either branch of Congress, as a warning the results of over industry. There is little danger that the Senate will injure itself with hard work if its majority, in a time when hundreds of thousands of hungry men are wander- ing with dispairing aimlessness down the highways and through the by ways of the land, can find as its only issue the question as to the papers in some petty office. So long as the majority in the highest legislative body of the nation, will continue, for the length of three weeks, a privilidged collective scan lal monger, because the Executive does not waive his prerogative and give it access to his private correspondence. there is no need of prayers in beha'f of over toiled Senators.

No man probably has ever before given anything like as much intellectual strength and steadiness of application to the duties of the Presidential office. Oil, and the first dose brought forty worms, and the second dose so many were passed I could net count them 5. JI. ADAMS, Zicly. He studies closely even the minor ques- ‘tions that come before him for official | action, and every document that goes from his hands, 1f it be only a letter to ;an otficeholder, 13 carefully prepared. Mr. Jordon, the United States Treas- urer, under the new regime, is another practical worker and thorough business man. A short time agoa Congressional Committee asked him to appear before them and impart his views on financial topics. He nded that he was too busy during the day, but would be pleased to meet the committee at night, and so he did. A short time after Mr. Jordon was installed in his new office, he went to the Government Printing Office and asked to have a small job of work done that day. He was assured by some of the officials there that it could not be finished before the next morning. “I must have that printing to-night,” in- sisted the Treasurer. “It is impossible,” remoystrated the others. Mr. Jordon threw off his coat, went to the desk, and began setting the type rapidly him- self, while the clerks looked on in as- tonishment. He finished a third of the work in fifteen minutes, and turnin to the officials, he said; “Now when iask to have a certain job of printing done by a certain time, please remember ‘that I know what Iam talking about.” It is useless to say the work was ready for him at the specified time. When his resolutions finally got through the Senate by a mere majority of one, Senator Edmunds breathed a sigh of relief. Even this barren victory was better than he expected. He was nervously apprehensive that a sufficient number of his Republican brethren would: vote against him to cause his defeat. Mr. Edmunds sudden anxiety to force a vote is easily explained. Had he allowed the debate to continue nntil the new Californian Senator, then en route for Washington, reached here, his little game would have failed, for the Senate would have been tied. The political effect of the discussion will not be profitable to the Republican party.and the whole contest can have no practical result. No displaced official will be restored. No personal papers will be furnished and no reason will be given. It is well known here that the Republicans feel no elation or satisfac- tion in carrying through these resolu- tions by this meagre majority of a strict party vote. It was thought that the distinguish- ed Senator from New York Mr. Kvarts, would not dare to speak on the Ed- munds resolution question because his logic as an attorney in behalf of a Sen- ate pliantiff against a President defen- dant in 1886 conflicted so seriously with his logic in behalf of a President de- fenndant against a Senate plaintiff in 1869. He did speak, however, and this is the way he explained his change of base: “I might say. that when counsel are urging and pressing proportions in view and in aid of adefendant in charge. those are scarcely judical opinions.” His explanation would have been sim- pler, at least. if he had suid: “TL was retained to attack the tenure of office law seventeen years ago: [am retained to uphold it now.” or oor or To Rob Peter for Paul. It is well to beware of the Greeks bearing gifts. We do not say that the Republican party are necessarily inimi- ed to the South. or would propose measures to harm it. Bat they will bear watehing even when their advan- ces are most friendly. This demagogue's trick, known as the Blair bill, should it. become a law, will be the cause of endless trouble North and South. It will be a letting down of those consti- tutional safeguards which defend so- ciety against the insidious approach of a multitude of evils. It will rob hon- est and industrious Peter to pay sloth- fal Paul. We consider alinoat all subsidy as unwise on general principles. But this would be of sucha special and peculiar character as to make it doubly so. We hope that if the House does not defeat it, the President will.—Bos- ton Post, Dem. —>-—p> aa Democrats Should have the Offices. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. It is part of the unwritten history of this Administration that a young Democrat from Tennessee called on President Cleveland shortly after the latter was inaugurated, and presented his petition for office. He was endorsed by both wings of the party in_ his own State and approached the Executive with confidence. The President xc knowledged the credentials, but asked: “What's the matter with the man who is now in the office ?” “Nothing that I know of,” said the applicant, “except that he is a Repub- hie in.” “Then why remove him?” The Tennessean laid his paper on the table, and burning with the spirit of Old Hickory turned tull upon the Executive and replied: “Mr. President, last year the people of Tennessee wer called upon to give you their suffrage. It was not a ques- tion of turning President Arthur out and voting President Cleveland in, save that one was a Republican and the other a Democrat.” The President reflected a moment, and telling the young man to return next-day, filled out bis commission and issued it forthwith. There is a moral in this, which the President and the people must recog- nize. It is that the vote of the people SALISBURY, N. C., APRIL 8, 1886. Government for twenty-five years, who | had infested its See Gal debauched its service and who had converted ublic place into publie plunder. hat vote was a rebuke to the whole Po to its malfeas- ance, its tradition, its policy and its | personnel. Does any body suppose | that the people intended the reform to stop at the White House, or at the | heads of departments; does anybody | suppose the battle was fought for the ; few who wanted a comfortable berth; who, when installed, could look around him from his cushioned place and say: “Now is the great victory complete and Democracy is fully triumphant?” Did anybody believe in November, 1884, that the President would retain in position, thirteen months after he was inaugurated, the great horde of Re- pe placemen in Georgia—violent, latant demagogues and partisans who had come down to us from the hands of General Grant’s partisanship or of Mr. Hayes’ imbecility? Was not every vote which bore the name of Grover | Cleveland a protest against these men and their tribe as much as against Mr. Blaine and the few gentlemen who might sit in his Cabinet or stand at his sideboard? Or did the election mean merely that the high mullein must be stricken and the tougher undergrowth eee to grow rank and undistur- ped. How Beecher Sees It. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in a recent interview with a reporter in New York on the prospects of tariff reform, said: “l am inclined to think that there will be no great change in the revenue laws this year. ‘The manner in which the pension list is being in- creased precludes the possibility of re- ducing the tariff for years to come. | think, as we are now, every man who was in the war is entitled to a pension. The next step will be to pension the uncles, nephews and cousins to the second or third degree. Possibly before our legislators get through they will pension every man that was born with- in the years that the civil war was raging in this country. It looks to me as if Congress were merely inventing a pension law as a convenient peg on which to hang up revenue reform.” —¢ _— >> Politeness in Society. Christian at Work. It was amusing to read lately, cabled over the world, that Mr. Gladstone kissed the Queen's hand. The custom of withdrawing the glove in handshak- ing is now a thing of the past. It had its origin in the knight of the olden time, taking off his iron gaunlet so as not to hurt his lady’s hand, and has gradually become an obsolete fashion, though one yet sees a gentleman who considers it only due a lady that he should give her his bare hand. A young lady told me that she incurred the displeasure of a provincial acquain- tance because she merely bowed in- stead of shaking hands with a group of girls, with some of whom sie had but slight acquaintance, when entering a parlor at a country afternoon tea. They called it “putting on airs,” when, in fact, it was their own ignorance of the social necessities of the occasion that was at fault. Bat the provincial young ladies evidently believed in handshaking as part of the code of manners. Yet, at the same gathering my friend said the young people did not seem to see any impoliteness in whispering or giggling in the room, or rudely staring at any dress that dif- fered from their own style. What a very trying ordeal, too, 1s the Joud- voiced greeting, where your hand is held and inquiry made after your wel- fare and that of your family so as to be heard all over the room.

Loxpon, March 25.—A remarkable duel was fought on the field of Water- loo to-day, the contestants being Mme. Valsavre, a native of France, and Misa Shelby, an American. The duel was the result of a dispute on the relative merits of -French and American female doctors. After a sto altercation Mmme. Valsavre threw her gloves in Miss Shelby's face, and a duel was forthwith arranged. The weapons were swords. Miss Shelby was shght- ly wounded on the arm. The four seconds were Americans.

Though here, as in England, we have our mock philosophers, our sentimental women, and our eifemi- nate men who constantly preach against the dangers of party spirit—very often when preparing to sell themselves out to the opposite side—yet men of noble minds know that the much lauded checks and balances of the Constitution itself are not now and never have been half so efficient for the preservation of rights and for the restraint of corruption as the fierce and waiting hostility of a well oy- ' ganized opposition to the party in power. Let the two great parties into which the Aimerican people are now divided be at once obliterated, and no others with clear-cut issues arise to take their places , let the one-time English idea of attaching adherents to the administration and ob- taining support for its policy by interest and office instead of party become preva- lent in this country, and in less than a quarter of a century there would be scarcely a vestige of the rights of the people or the States remaining. said Horace Walpole— I have a maxim—that the extinction of party is the origin of faction. And Horace Walpole ought to have known. In my honest opinion no more unmistakable sign of the decay of public virtue in politics has been furnished by American history than the rise, if indeed it can be said to have risen, of that maud- lin political sentiment which we recog- nize, for want of a better, under the nome of Mugwumpism,” a kind of sickly, sentimental, Sunday-school, ‘Goody T'wo- shoes” party which appears desirous of ruling the world not as God has made it, but as they would have it. Under the fair guise of liberty, moderation, and public integrity, its tendency, if not its purpose, is to destroy the manhood, the outspoken courage of bluif Anglo-Saxon statesmanship, and seeks to substitute therefor a hybrid system of Peeksniffian snivel, which is to be in our politics what cant is to true religion, what Phatisaism is to the divine virtue of humility, and which will ultimately prove, like all other hybrids, simply an unhappy mix- ture of the more ignoble qualities of each parent. Men who fall in love with this diluted form of political ethics forget that with all the evils atténding extreme par- tisanship we have also the candor, the courage, the outspoken sentiment, the manly defiance of opposition, the eager and zealous defense of principle which has infused, with all its rowghness, a spirit of chivalry into our political wel- fare. We know cach other. We know where we may expect to find ourselves and our opponents. We can calculate of each other that, whatever of evil there may be, there will be no deception, no hypocracy, no pretense. Sir, there is nothing in the nature of man that stamps his nobility more unmis- takably than this spirit of generous rival- ry in ardent strife for worthy purposes. The untutored schoolboy instinctively shouts his admiration at every exhibition of pluck and magnamity in a square stand-up fight. Men who differ honesily and maintain that ditferenee boldly pre- sent everywhere the best side of nature. No instances in history so captivate the mind of every reader as those which ex- emplify this spirit of fair play and gener- osity. x * * bs a z For want of politieal parties Russia has nihilism and despotism. lor want of parties based upon well-known constitu- * tional principles France is divided into | personal factions and cliques, and dwells above the red-hot fires of communism. For want of like constitutional parties Germany, the earliest home of the liber- ties of our race, is honey-comed by the destructive tenets of socialisin, which is only restrained by the conversion of what should bea free limited monarchy into an almost absolute despotisia, sup- ported by an army so yast and expensive as to very nearly eat up the substance and destroy the productive capacity of Austria has scarcely a semblance of what may be termed politi- cal parties, and has no more liberty than party. The history of the world is replete with the lessons which confirm the truth of Mr. Madison's words that parties are indeed “the natural offSpring of liberty.” Freedom, truly, is the priceless gem which is crystallized in the fierce heats of party strife, Vhat strife must continue forever, if it be that freedom is to live forever—there is no rest for the free. The passage of the civil-service law, as I have intimated, was an attack upon the rightful prerogative of the Jixecntive and a blow aimed at the integrity of political parties. It will be felt in all that parties are intended to preserve—the institutions of our country. The cornerstone of those institutions are: First. The eligibility of all qualified freemen to hold office, and power. Second. A brief term of office. Third. A direct and immediate respon- sibility of all elective officers to Ue peo- ple. Fourth. A mediate and indirect respon- sibility of all appointed officers to the people through the direct and iminediate responsibility of the appointing power. All these essential features of our con- stitution of government are contravened by this law known as the civil-service act. * * * * * * w Another serious objection to the law is ithat it creates unusual offenses and at- taches unusual penalties for their comimis- sion, It also takes away the President’s power and duty to execute the laws, and confers them unconstitutionally upon the board of commissioners, They are given supervision and control over everybody, including the President, in all matters pertaining to the enforcement of this Jaw. ‘It is the duty of this board of commis-| tuted; when the people have once spoken therefore | the right to seek office at the source of | good man get in office or furnishing infor- mation to keep a bad one out! _So much for attempting to even handle these offi- cial eggs while under the motherly incu-' bation of these national hens, the Civil, Service Commissioners! As for all other: | American Citizens who would like to have | ‘office in the usual way under a Demo- cratic administration because it is their |right and because they helped to create ‘that administration, you may lie upon, hinder, and deceive, and furnish against ‘them all sorts of information, special and 'general, the more the better, and their only remedy is an action for slander, a hickory stick, or a shot-gun. How much these legal terrors may assist the Govern- ment in procuring correct information in regard to the aspirants for place is a ques- tion not solvable in any ordinary prepara- tion of logic. * * * a - As I have expressed my disapprobation of the tenure-of-ottice law and all parti- san attempts to infringe the rights of the Executive and thwart the will of the people, so do I condemn this civil-service law as the meanest and most insidious of them all. Professing to avoid any direct interference with his power, it yet sur- rounds the President with checks and hindrances on every hand. It binds him with his own consent. Instead of the free discretion to choose his agents from the whole body of American ‘citizens, it binds him to choose from the four select- ed for him by others. Instead of choos- ing an officer pleasing to him, he is compelled to take one who is pleas- ing to the Civil Service Commissioners. When a new President is elected, instead of being able to freely choose his own agents to assist him in the execution of the laws, he is bound to leave those of his predecessor in full possession. Instead af that high discretion with which the Con- stitution invests him, this civil-service law substitutes the discretion of an irre- sponsible conmnission, an@ confers these high powers on three men, who are to in- cubate on certain inchoate official eggs and hatch executive oflicers, warranted to be of better quality and capacity than those propagated by the natural methods. No wonder that more than one of its eminent advocates said that its execution naturally presupposed a President friend- ly toits provisions. It could not live a to reap the fruits of the very same victory by whieh he was benefit Conceive of an old-fashioned, fighting Democrat, who for forty years had s' by his party-through geod and evil 'te- rt, he believed in its principles; who ttled for it when it had no offices to give; many times when it was buried be- neath such vast majorities as left scarce a prospect of earthly resurrection; often oppressed by a weight of odium sufficient to cow the bravest spirit, under the influ- ence of which the faithful became as the “few names in Sardis, who had not defiled their garments’’—when the very name of Democrat became a convertible term with that of copperhead, rebel, and traitor— fancy his unconquered and undismayed soul still working for his principles, still watching for the dawn, still waiting with prayerfulness for the hope of his political Israel,- thanking God for each town, township, or county victory which showed that his principles still lived in the hearts of his countrymen, and were growing be- cause they were immortal—quicker and quicker throbs his heart, higher and higher rises his joy as stronghold after stronghold is carried, as State after State is captured in spite of unconstitutional laws and governmental interference, in spite of bayonets -glittering at the polls, in spite of that gross and unblushing fraud which is the supplement of despair; and, lastly, imagine if you can the hot tide of triumphant joy with which he saw in November, 1884, the banners of Dem- ocracy full high advanced and successful over all the Union, and his party once more in control of the great destines of his country. When the hope of his sou] had thus been at last realized, and his old eyes had beén permitted to behold the great salvation, when the bonfires kin- dled in a thousand cities and hamlets had burned down, and the feasting had ended, and the oratory and all the elements of rejoicing had subsided, and the new ad- ministration had begun its career amid the prayers and blessings of all Demo- cratic hearts, imagine, I say, this old faithful and honest man of principle com- ing to Washington, in the simplicity of his heart, bringing certilicates from his neighbors of his character and services, and modestly asking for a position, nat- urally supposing that the king in making moment except by the voluntary submis- sion of the Executive to its absurd and | fantastic arrangements.

The executive officers in power are not changed otherwise than so far as the’ change of policy may require. That is | all that js expected cr desired. Besides | as the executive, there was hereditary, | there was no way of avoiding corrupt or | inefiicigat minor oflicers except by com- } petitive examinations, ‘Phere was no re- | sponsibility to the people for bad appoint- | ments. Here there is such responsibility; | here all is difierent. When the people | elect a President, avowing a diilerent | policy from that of his predecessor, they | thereby declare not only for a change of | policy but for a change in the personnel of | the Government as well. This has been the universal custom to the present day. | The people expect the man of their choice | whom they have elected to remove those | in office and appoint every man whom | jhe may deem necessary to the effectual | Presidential “election, which was in- | fluenced more by the desire for a thor- | oughiy radical change in the personnel of | the Jate adininistration than for any | other consideration whatever. The proof | of this was the universal cry, the party slogan, “turn the rascals out.” * te ‘The behavior of the Republican advo- eates of this law about the time of its passage Was hot only remarkable; it was | shaincless. In the face of their allega-| tions that the spoils system was corrupt, | and that by it we could not possibly get eood and competent officials, they not only defeated by a solid vote in the Sen- | ate the amcndinent of Mr. Pugh, as 1 have stated, requiring their friends al- ready in to submit to examination, but they made haste to fill every possible va- cancy with their partisans betore the law | took effect. It is an open seerct that on | Saturday, the [th of July, some of the | heads of Deparuents in this city, spent | jhe entire day and night, far into Sunday | morning, in filling every vacancy, pro- | moting their friends and kin and degrad- | ing their political enemies. The law was | jto go into cilect on the 15th of July. | i Quite a number of new clerks had been | 'provided for by the appropriation bills | for the fiseal year beginning July 1, and a} full supply of applicants had already | passed the civil-service examination and stood by waiting for the law to go into eifect. But’ wher the offices opened on | Monday, the I6th, not a vacant place was anywhere to be found, every one was oc- cupied by a Republican or kinsman of the appointing oflicer. And the men who | perpetrated this fraud on their own law, lwith the cheek of a town cow, cry “spoilsman!” at every man who de- nounces their hypocracy ; and Democrats jare found who by their votes here susiain ithese men in the retention of their ill-} | rotten spoils, and who seem to think that | fraud and hypocrisy consutute the neces- sary overture to the grand symphony of /reform. The meaning of all this is, the Repub-| jlicans desire olfice from pure patrioUsm,; | | the Democrats wish office simply for their ‘emoluments. For a Republican to hold loffice after the people have told him to! ‘leave is commendable and pure; for a | Democrat to wish to get one after the | people have declared for him is reprehen- sible and base. Now, grant that the} | offices belong to neither party, but to the | | people, for whose benefit they were insti- }up his jewels would remember his faith- carrying out, not of his, but of their will. lors son.

Pittsburg Dispatch. Of all the humbugs ever gotten up for the cure of dyspepsia early morn- ing walks are perhaps the greatest. A long walk on an empty stomach will exhaust and tire a well man: How much more will it exhaust and tire one already enters from lack of vital do v energy? It will ery well for those with a tendency to overfatness or with too much vital energy. The dyspeptic is the better for sleep and rest. The old doctrine that the early morn- ing air is purer and healthier than that of midday has been exploded. The foul daps that rise from the earth after | the vitalizing and purifying rays of the | sun have been withdrawn are still) afloat. | The first thing a dyspeptic must do| in order to get well is to give his brain | a rest. Let him cultivate a habit of! resting quietly one hour after eating a| break fast of boiled steak, toast and clear coffee; sleeping one hour or more after adinner of roast beef, fish or | fowl, toast and coffee, or milk; an hour’s rest after a supper of steak, game | or fish, toast and coffee or tea, plain. There has been a good deal of fun, poked at the hot water cure for dys-| fee yet the fact remains that no} pe tter ton. mach is known to the medical profes- sion than that same goblet of hot water | ¢at, while its head —as hot as can be borne sipped slowly a half hour before each meal. Rest, plain food, plenty of sleep and freedom from care will knock the toughest case of dyspepsia silly that can be found in the State. Pulls and Aleoholic and fermented drinks are bad medicines for dyspepsia. Slops are not good for dyspepsia, neither 1s too much cracked wheat, oat meal or corn starch. ‘These should be touched spar- ingly. Milk is excellent when it agrees with one. It should never be gulped down, but drank slowly. Coffee with milk or cream in it will rift up bitter, but with only a little sugar will aid di- gestion. The same with tea where it is not too much of a mere stimulant. +> How he Escaped the Gallows. The Asheville correspondent of the | Charleston Courier writes: for murder at Hendersonville reminds | your correspondent of one of the mo:t) romantic jail escapes ever known in this section. Contined in the jail at} place, some years ago, Was a man by the name of Adair—one of several brothers whose names were common to the criminal docket of the county and whose misdeeds won for them a wide notoriety. The prisoner here spoken of had been convicted of murder, and the day before his execution among the number of mountaineers thus early flocking to the town to see the hang- ing there was one who came for a ait erent purpose. She was a young wo- man, some twenty-six years old, attired lin the plain, simple homespun garb characteristic of the locality, and with a face which, while it is not of a type to becalled beautiful, was by no means homely, though it was somewhat hid under the shabow of asun_ bonnet. Her form was rounded and stout and she presented an appearance of unusual firmness, intelligence and _ self-posses- sion. She asked permusaion to spend the night with her husband, the prison- er—his last night on earth. ‘The kind hearted and sympathetic jailor did not hesitate to grant so slight a request. On retiring she asked to be allowed her freedom at early dawn, so that she might make the final preparations for the terrible fate of her husband. To this additional request there was no objection on the part of the old jailor, unaccustomed to turn the key on pris- oners charged with graver offences than assaults and batteries. As the great northeast began to send up its first gray streaks announcing the breaking day the old jailer, none too soon for his volunteer prisoner, turned the huge key in the massive lock and allowed the homespun clad figure with the sun- bonnet to pass down into the cool sweet wir of a mountain morn of sum- mer and glile away amid the dimly distinguishable objects of the dawn. Crowds came pouring into the small town at all moments from daylight to 9 oclock, the hour for breakfast at the jail, all eager to see the first hanging in the history of the county. As the clock struck 9 the prompt old jailer as- cended the stair-way with the prisoner's last meal on earth. The bolts were turned, the door was opened, then with | —_— TREATMENT.

A gentleman says he witnessed a strange fight between a cat and a hawk near Americus, Ga., that interested him. The cat had found a warm nook on the sunny side of the barn and gone to sleep. A hawk came circling around :n the air—a large red-tail with fiery eves that gleamed in the sunlike dia- monds. It saw the cat and pounced down on her. Its cruel talons had taken a good hold before tabby knew what was up, and the bird had risen ten feet in the air, when there was a howl from the cat and the feathers began to fly. The bird and cat had it over, but still going higher and higher. When about fifty yards high, the hawk dropped the cat, but immediately darted after, but tabby got the upper hold and the hawk flew around with ‘one talon in the under quarter of the and front claws iwere on the back of its foe. The fur land feathers flew thick and fast for | awhile, and at last both fell to the | ground, where they expired. 1 | | SOO SE Not Chargeable to the Sparrows. Boston Advertiser.

In this one act alone, the preciously studded and richly bejeweled diadem of her royal wifehood is robbed of its priceless and sparkling brilliancy, ber royal scepter is broken, her queenly sway is ended. a A little boy complaining of the beef he had for breakfast, said it was so tough that he could not stick his on in the gravy.—Greenville Stand- ara.

Oh! could there in this world be found Some little spot of happy ground, Where villag: pleasures inight go round Without the village talking ; How doubly blest that spot would be, Where all might dwell in | berty, Free from the bitter misery | Of go sips endless prattling. | If such a spot were really known, Dame peace might call it as her own, And in it she might fix her throne, For -ver and forever ; There lik: a queen might reign and live, While ev -ry one would soon forgive The little lights they, might receive, And be off-nded never. Tis’ mischief makers that remove Far from our hearts the warmth of love, And leads us all to disapprove What gives another pleasure. They seem to take one’s part but then They have heard cares kindly then They soon + sta nailer diledegee Mixed up with poisonous measure. And then they’ve such a cunning way Of telling ill mewnt tales they say, * Don't mention it, I pray, I would not tell another ;” Straight to your neighbor's then they go, Narrating everything they know, And break the peace of high and low, Wife, husband, friend and brother. Oh! that the mischief-making crew | Were all reduced to one or two, And they were painted black and blue, That every one might know them! Then would our villagers forget | Tu rage and quarrel, ume and fret | And fall into an angry pet, | With things so much below them. | | For ‘tis a sad, degrading part To make another's bosom smart, And plant a dagger in the heart We ought to love and cherish; Then let us evermore be tound In quietness with all around While friendship, joy and peace abound, And angry feelings perish. [teleost | Steele and Mt. Ulla. Editor Watchman:—As we are having | quite arainy season forthe last 8or 4 } days, the water in our creeks have been | high; overflowing the bottoms and are, }or have been too high to cross except on | bridges. They are now subsiding and | the low-lands in places are badly washed; ‘all combined will tend to put farmers a little back with their farm work, but as | this appears to be a late spring, we may |; have time to get ready with the season. | Wheat that was sown early, and the land | well cultivated before it was drilled in, /or sown, and especially where it was well | fertilized, is looking fine now. Late and much show yet, but from the present in- dicatious there will be a large crop, per- ie 7th ) haps as large as 2 yearsago. Spring sown } oats is coming up well and is growing off Aucly. Vers Uerte winter oats left: abou the usual crop ot cotton WIL ve prantet and alittle over of corn, but the low price of tobacco has caused some to con- tract their crops of this weed. Since the tine warm weather has come, news has have had some marriages to make us glad during the winter, but painful to relate, quite a number of deaths of good and excellent citizens to make us sad. On last Saturday Munroe Barger, a very excellent and worthy citizen, was burried. He was well known to you and a host of others, hence I will let you and others speak of his merits and worth. Tuesdays, Rev. P. T. Penick of Moores- ville died ; of his christian excellence and worth, other abler pens than mine will write you. Clod-Knocker! Well he has thawed out it seems during the warm spell about the first of March, and from the way he cuts loose he must have been ina state of hibernation during the winter. And as he ¢laiims to be a strong believer and advocate in and of the Dr. Woodrow and Darwin doctrines, so while in his se- clusion and dormant state, he may have been transmognified into an Ogre: from the intense and ravenous way he tries to devour County Commissioners and J. P’s. andit appears that he thought that his seclusion was only for one night, as the C. C. question closed several months ago, and wasin full heat when he retired. No J. P. was publicly advo- cated for the Commissioner's place, but an old and near neighbor of his, who is not a J. P., was spoken of. But when his eyes became thoruughly opened he looked out and saw green pastures of clover and also green vegecsbles, when he at once appears to have changed into a Hippo- griff, with an intense hankering after clover and vegetables; and then to a Sphinx, from his intense propensity to gormandize and devour. Perhaps he will next assume the body of a Morse, as he seems to haye or want the same power of a Phenix or Satry, for he appears to have as many heads asa Hydra and as many faces as a Dodecahedron, from the hypo- bolical way he writes. But withall that he isa right good kind of fellow, and when he gets that 200 feet square with wall 50 feet high brick tobacco barn built with that 200 horse power hydraulic dry steam engine in it for curing his 200 acres of gold leaf weed, and has every thing in complete working order, then we will go and see him in his Unity home. Come to see us Clod. An Esq. a Result of Democratic Economy. The reduction of public debt for March was $14,087,854. Last March the reduction was less than $900,000. For the nine months of the current fiscal year ended yesterday the reduc- tion of the debt was over $67,000,000. For the corresponding period of last year the reduction was $45,000,000. These comparisons show what a Demo- cratic administration is doing to reduce the great national burden as compared with the preceeding Republican re- gime. The net cash in the Treasury to-day '896 since March 1. Thestore of silver dollars is now 3174,700,085, or about 3,000,000 more than a month ago. tr ' matured bearing debt was $76,881,009, an increase of $4,082,- There has been a reduction during the | month in the interest bearing debt of | $16,000,000 3 per cents under the last vall, and the total interest is now &1,240,681.462. Customs receipts for March amounted to $18,176,162, or $2,250,000 more than in March a year ago. Internal revenue receipts were $9,959,569, or nearly $750,000 more than in March, 1885, and miscellaneous receipts were $750,000 greater than in March a year ago. Compared with the first nine months of the preceding fiscal year, government receipts from all sources this year show an increase of nearly $10,000,000, and amounts to $247,774,- 820, while expenditures for the first nine months of the current fiscal year were $187,588,104, or nearly $23,000,- 000 less than the corresponding period of 1884-"85. ——> -<—pe Judge Bennett's Snapping Turtle. “Bennett, of North Carolina, criti- cised the first section of the bill which authorizes the President to employ three persons not in the public service, and two persons who are offices in the service, not more than three of whom shall be adherents of some political party, who shall constitute a commis- sion for the purposes of this act. Why should not the whole commission be of the same political party, asked Mr. Bennett. Were not Democrats the best exponents of Democratic policy ? Were not the Secretary of Treasury and Secretary of State as well qualified to deal with this subject as men who were “half horse, half alligator, and the balance snapping turtle?” (Laugh- ter.) “Is it a crime to be a Democrat?” he exclaimed amid an affirmative cho- rus from the Republican side. The individual rights of States, the doctrine of Jefferson, is waning, and that of Hamiltom is waxing. The great aver- age of the Democratic party in 1884 who lifted up their voices in one grand chorus and pointed to the standard bearer of the party as an ideal Demo- | crat, supposed that his election meant a Democratie victory, and that all legitimate consequences would follow. '(Laughter.) Continuing, he said thus the Democratic party had been preach- }ing economy, but the spectacle was jdaily presented here of that party in- creasing the public burdens. An in- stance of this kind of legislation was found in thé first section of the pending bill, which would increase salaries for the purpose of giving some gentleman who had the advantage of being a public service. He had no sympathy with the doctrine that the spoils were to be divided among the veayuished; “to the vieturs belung the spoils,” was dee tolayens wien nttered Dy w- Marcy, ana cue ...cleman who thought that in the South that was not God's gospel truth, had set his sights too high for gime. (Laughter. ) <p -- Public Opinion as a Power. of Representatives who voted for Mr. | O'Nei’s Arbitration bill seemed to} think it necessary to state that they did so under a sort of protest. But what vecasion was there for any such | mealy-mouthedness? The bill is not perfect by any means, but it certainly has merit enougi to clan either open support or open opposition, and we see no reason Why auy member should feel called upou to apologize for giving | it his vote—least of all to admit that he did so for fear ot being boycotted. Members who really believe the measure to be a fraud, or a barren ideal- itv or anything of that kind, or, ina word, regard it as a piece of worthless legislation, should have had the cour- ave of their convictions like the twenty nine men who bravely put themselves on record in the negative. There is no doubt, however, that a very large ma- jority of those who voted for the bill did so honestly and in the conscientious belief that it would prove of effective service. The Critic is disposed to think that eventually some legislation of a much more stringent character will have to be adopted, but for all that the O'Neill bill isa good beginning. As the New York World says: “It will doubtless be of great value as a law in conse- quence of the moral obligation it will impose on railroad companies and their employes to consent to arbitration and abide by the decision.” Then there is acertain degree of suggestiveness in the bill which should not be lost sight of. Observers of all riotous demonstrations in this country have noticed how speedily they quail at the sight of a Federal bayonet. A corporal's guard of United States troops as arule is more efficacious than a whole regiment of militia. It is not necessary to explain why; the reasons are obvious; and the analogy holds good with Federal legislation. It car- ries with it a weight that city ordinan- ces and State laws never do. There is one thing in this country which the people hold in wholesome respect—the power is so in the United States, not tor the same reason flat it is in Ger- many or Spain, because it typifies a a centralized despotism, but because it represents the public sentiment, the concentrated moral foree, the universal common sense of the country. Hence it is that Congress is invoked to find a remedy for existing labor troubles, and itis far better that the (rovernment should interpose with stat- utes than stands of arms. The Arbitration may not be all that ‘we could wish, but it 1s a reflex of pub- lic opinion. Should it prove unavail- ing, public opinion will demand other and stronger legislation, and Congress will rise to the requirements of the emergency or a Congress will be elec- ate that will. e whole question lies right here. The “impending conflict,” Lette be- tween free and slave territory, will be decided in accordance ‘with the verdict of the people, and asn that case we now all admit the verdict to have been a just one, so in this, We need have no fear but what the controversy will be adjusted at least upon equitable principles, because it will be as the peo- ple direct. There may be trying episodes to pass through—there may even be danger- ous uprisings to contend with—sus- pensions of traffic and industrial cat- astrophes in consequence—but sooner or later the patience of the people with the giant _combatante-will be exbaus- ted, and in their thoroughly aroused and consolidated patriotism the coun- try will find a safe anchorage.— Wash- ington Critic. ae Color Line in the Jury Box. From the Newbern Journal. In Jones county, last week, two col- ored men were put on trial in the Su- perior Court for capital offenses. In the first case the Jury was composed of white men of intelligence. ‘The evi- dence was entirely circumstantial, but notwithstanding a very strong case was made out by the State against the prisoner and public opinion was almost unanimous against him, yet the jury thought there was a little doubt ac- cording to the testimony, and they very readily gave the prisoner the benefit of it and returned a verdict of not guilty. In the other case the jury was com- posed of nine white men and three col- ored men. The testimony was direct and positive. The jury could not agree; the nine white men were in favor of insisted on a verdict of not guilty. The good people of Jones are loud in the condemnation of such conduct. It is charged by some of them that these prisoner, and it is further alleged that one of them made false statements when challenged for cause.

From Specicial Cor. State Chronicle. Every Democratic Senator and a number of representatives, especially several members of our own delegation, who went over from the House side of the Capitol to hear it, warmly congrat- ulated Senator Vance when he resumed his seat. Senator Hoar, of Massachu- setts, went over and sat immediately in front of Senator Vance and listened intently while he spoke. A Senator, who is considered the best constitutional lawyer on the Democratic side of the chamber, said. that as a legal argument it was unanswerable. Senator Vance had no occasion to go over to the House the morning after the delivery of the speech. He was immediately surround- ed by Representatives, many of whom he had never spoken to before, and re- One hundred thousad extra cepies of the speech have already been ordered. Representative Henly, of California, has ordered 10,000 for distribtion among his constituents. The New Orleans 7%imes-Democrat ordered the speech by telegraph, the night after its delivery. A friend tells me that Senator Vance has received fifty letters already from politicians outside of North Carolina congratula- ting him on the courage and ability with which he handled the subject.

But we are informed that this party does not expect success this year, nor the pext, nor the next, but are looking far ahead, some thirty, forty or fifty years hence. They are laying the foundation of anew party for their posterity to work ap to success. The history of the abolition party affords the example which sustains the hope ofultimate success. Meanwhile this third party expects to vibrate be-+ tween the Democratic aud Republican parties, first favoring one and then the other; and always ready fora trade with one or the other, having no political principles of its own except prohibition.

Ce ee ee he Silver Questio is not yet settled. There is a large ma- jority of silver men in Congress, who hold toSenator Beck's opinion that the silver dollar should be just as good for the bondholder as for the people. The Secretary of the Treasury has hereto- fore paid out the gold to bondholders ‘ind silver to the people. It is believed that a bill will yet be brought forward to require the payment of silver to bondholders as well as others, as it should be; and when done, bondhold- ers will find it to their interest to hold up the value of silver instead of crying it down. And the credit of the meas- ure, should it pass, will be wholly due to the firm demand of the people, whose rights and sense of fairness and justice have higherto been outraged by the practice of government officials. ee ee The Bribers.

Cock fighting, dog fighting, bull baiting, horse racing, etc., are amuse- ments very generally known to the people of this country through news- papers, books, ete.; but who, until now, ever heard of sparrow fighting as a sport conducted by men. It remained for the New York Chinese to arrange a battle between the New York and San Francisco sparrows. And strange to say, these little bircs are wonderful fighters. They pitch into each other with fury and fight to the death. Out of 22 matched for battle 14 died in the pit. Large sums of money staked on the contest changed hands. The New York birds whipped out their western cousins. It is creditable to the city of New York that this cruel sport is prohibited, and can only be conducted without in- terruption in secret places. A ES 9 pe Revealing the Sphinx. The celebrated Egyptian Sphinx is to he disintered. For ages it has amazed travelers, though but less than half of it is visible. Its body rep- resents a recumbent lion and is 140 feet long, and the out-stretched paws 50 feet. It is one of, the most inter- esting and stupendous pieces of sculp- ture in the world; and as the work of a people long since vanished, excites the curiosity and the wonder of the na- tions. Auntiquaries will watch with eagerness the removal of the sands which have for centuries hid so large a portion of it from view. ~ SS © Desperation. Drunk men are nearly always des- perate, but Capt. Todd, of the British steamer Sarah Ann, reports a remark- able case. He sighted a dismasted ves- sel on March the 7th, and sent a life- boat to her relief. The vessel was the French brigantine, Dix Freres, in a gale and in bad condition. The boat took off four men, but the Captain and Mate, both drunk, declared they would go down with the vessel; and they held back a little boy who was crying to get into the boat, It is believed all perish- ed in the sea. rn gee The New York City authorities are still in pursuit of the ex-aldermen of not be enemies but the best of fri be er . mends.; If you don't “ it2 In view of the colossal wealth of the blind” ~ av Golde oa ~ ulds and the power they are by! pumpkin, you are as | as a lover—as obtuse as al . | 1884 and their bribers, The Mayor has also been put under a bond of Burying the Dead. Last Sunday was a gloomy day in East St. Louis. The funerals and bur- ial of 5 of the 8 persons killed by the deputy sheriffs set to guard railroad property, occupied the day. These ser- vices were attended by thousands, mostly working people. There was no disturbance; but a sullen, deep seated spirit brooding over the population, which may be inflamed at any mo- ment. The New York Star has interviewed a leading merchant of the city on the fitness of women for cashiers. The answer was enthusiastically in their favor. They are quicker in making change and more accurate; they are honest and keep cash accounts better; they are more apt in detecting coun- terfeit and mutilated money; they see more of what is going on in the house; detect more of the irregularities of salesmen; and report them with more delicacy—they are all right, and far ahead of men in all respects, according to this witness. “Go rock the cradle, John.” The New York Star, of April 12th, heads its column of crimes with the suicide of Major W. H. Quincy, a law- yer, formerly of Baltimore, a Major in the Confederate army. Financial diffi- culties the cause. Then follows the suicide of an Ital- ian cart driver in a tunnel. He was crushed nearly to death by an accident, and ended his sufferings by the pistol while the Doctor was gone for his case of instruments to relieve him. A petition is in circulation about Washington asking Congress to pay all the repudiated debts of the States. It is urged that national honor demands and national credit necessitates the measure. The fact of it is, no doubt. that the holders of the repudiated State bonds seeing no chanee to collect them out of the States which issued them while in the hands of reconstruction thieves, would try an appeal to Congress. We suppose the members of the nation- al assembly are a little too smart to be hoodwinked by the managers of this scheme for depleting the treasury. It is confidently announced that Mr. Manning, Secretary of the Treasury. will resign his position. He has proved ai bad health at present. nning is iP v7 There is not another man in the country whose presence in the Cabinet would give such general sitisfaction to the Demo- crats as his. net should a vacancy occur. The body of Mrs. Charles Wesley Allen has been lying in the receiving vault of a cemetery, in New York City since the 10th Dec. last, the under- taker, Samuel Merrett Hook, refusing to perinit the burial until the coffin is paid for. His bill is $171.25, and he is trying to collect it. Ex-President Arthur's health has been seriously disturbed. | Watchers are continuously by his bedside, and a guard at the door of his chamber to prevent obtrusive visitors. His phiysi- cian, Dr. Peters. is confident, and says Mr. Arthur’s friends are trying to build him up for a trip to Europe. A Word to Workers. _ If your avocations are mentally or phys- ically laborious; if they subject you to ex: posure in inclement weather, if they con- fine you to the desk, and are of a nature to involve wear and tear of brain, and nerv- ous strain, you uray occasionally require some renovating tonic Hostetter’s Stom— ach Bitters is the article for you; it sumu— lates the failing energies, invigorates the body and cheers the mind. It enables the system to throw off the debilitating effects of undue fatigue, gives renewed vigor to the organs of digestion, arouses the liver when inactive, which it very often is with people whose pursuits are sedentary, re- news the jaded appetite, and encourages healthful repose. Its ingredients are safe, and its credentials, which consist in the hearty endorsement of persons of every class of society, are most convinciny.

Tobias Lyerly, living about six miles from town, east of the Gold Hill road but in sight of it, was made the victim of malice, Sunday night last, by some mis- creant, who set fire to his barn. The fire extended by outbuildings until it reached and destroyed his dwelling house, and every other building on the place. His two mules and six cows were also destroyed, making, with the excep- tion of a few household effects which were gotten out of his dwelling, a clean sweep of his personal property. Tracks of a person were found near the place leading in the direction of the barn, as if made by one while walking. The same tracks were found in another place leading from the barn, which seem to have been made by some one running. They were barefoot tracks, and may yet lead to some important discovery. Mr. Lyerly is a worthy farmer in ordi- hary circumstances, and entitled to the active sympathy of his neighbors and friends. It seldom happens that a man loses everything by fire. asin this ease. And the misfortune falls upon him at a time of year when all his time is needed in pitching the next year’s crop. A blood hound was turned loose on the tracks seen about the barn and has traced them to a well known man’s dwelling. The man thus identified disclaims any knowledge of the burning. His name is withheld for the present. The owner of the dog, Mr. Murr, of Concord, has dem- onstrated the accuracy of the dog’s nose, by sending out members of the searching party. One of them was found and “treed” by the dog, some mile and a half from the starting point. The case has caused much indignation both on the spot and in town. ———_- ri oem The Prohibition Organization. The voters of this county will be inter- ested to know that there is now a new party claiming their suffrages. The Pro- hibition party was organized here last Saturday. Mr. Edwin Shaver was chair- }man, and Rey. R. W2 Boyd, Secretary. There were less than a dozen actively in- terested persons present, and pre-emi- nently above them all was Thos. P. John- ston, who may be termed the speaking member of the new party. The reporter failed to enumerate the consective sp-cech- es he made, though 17 will not miss the number fur. T°'ive townships were repre- sented, and in each a committee of one was appointed. Mr. Johnston said, among av great many other things, that he want- every man—pointing toward the sparcely filled negro side of the house— ed who felt in his heart that prohibition was right, to consider himself a delegate, full, free, and welcomed. The chairman made ' former political relations, throw principle | to the winds and vote for this third party. | There are many prohibition, or temper- jance people in this county, but they are | too well fixed in their political notions to surrender them to Mr. Johnston, or his silver tongued singer. Imagine the fun of a cainpaign conducted by Mr. Johnston jand his feathered musie box. If a banjo |were added as an accompaniment, the | effect would be novel, and it would draw tlarge crowds. Truly, music hath power, ‘but it is doubtful if this combination will | prove effective in making votes for the ‘already badly left cause of prohibition. Bat seriously there is no doubt in the minds of astute politicians as to the }milk in this cocoanut. This untimely in- troduction of along since played-out is- |sue means more than the “wild prating fof a prohibition fanatic.” The devotees jto this third party simply make them- selves cat's paws in the hands of the now {thoroughly desperate and disheartened | Republican office seekers. They hope iby this means to dim the lustre of the fascending Democratic star. Will they fsucceed? Let us Lope not.—But to go on | with the organization meeting; Mr. Shaver | introduced a Rey. Mr. Steele from Greens- | boro, as orator of the occasion. He was ja plausible talker and a good Republi- lean. Wehave neither time nor inclina- ltion to review his speech. It is not | necessary to say that the WATCHMAN is in favor of temperance, it has always been jon that side, but when a set of men step up andask us to surrender all political principles and to abjure party ties, we draw the line.

There are eleven defined veins, three dip- ping to the northwest, two perpendicular and six to the southeast. He shows that they must come together between 130 and 200 feet. The last work done was the driving of a tannel from shaft 66, 257 feet, north 47 degrees west. In this work Mr. Hyser aecomplished the rather diffi- cult feat of cutting a tunnel more than 200 feet without an air shaft. This was done by the use of acids, and Mr Hyser gives the process to the. mining men of this State. It was accomplished by the use of aqua ammonia, thrown through a large syringe ahead as the miners advan- ced into the tunnel. A saturate solution of coperas was also used, being thrown around the timbers. When the atmos- phere of the tunnel, no matter how foul, was treated inthis manner, it became perfectly pure. Starting into the tunnel, should bad air be encountered, and the light go out, the ammonia is thrown for- ward, the lamp relighted and the work- man proceeds, repeating the operation when it becomes necessary. The lights become exceeding brilliant, and are said to remind one of electric light when the air has been thus purified. Well diggers, cleaners, &¢c., may take a hint from the above. ee ARASTRA BEDS: Tyo new granite arastra beds for sale cheap.

Mr. Julian was born in April, 1800; and was therefore eighty-six years old. He was well known in this county and also in Iredell, where he lived many years. He resided in this vicinity the last forty years of his life. He was a farmer and retained consider- able strength up to the time of his last illness; and having been aceustomed to active out-door labors all his life, was fre- quently seen in town, mixing with peo- ple, and taking active interest in the sub- jects engaging popular ‘concern. Re- spected by all who knew him, reverenced by his children.and grand children, the memory of John Julian will linger for many years in honor of him whose life Was one continued scene of duties well performed, Anotier. Abraham Masters, of Mt. Ulla town- ship, died at the residence of his son, Geo. A. MaSters, April Ist, after eight days confinement to his bed, aged 85 years. He complained of no pain or suffering during his confinement, but seemed com- pletely worn out, and passed away like the fading of light when day is done. At his residence in this place, Thurs- day night, 8th inst., Mr. Remus J. West, aved about 73 years. The deceased wasa native of this town, and with the exception of two or three years in Asheboro, N. C., and a few in Davidson county, his whole life was spent here. He learned the printing business in the office of the “Western Carolinian’’ while it was owned by the late Hon. Burton Craige; and while liv- ing in Ashboro, was printing “Swaims Man of Business. ? But he gave up print- ing early in life and neyer returned to it. He wasa pupil in the school of the late Rev. Jesse Rankin, in 1827-28, some of his fellow pupils being Dr. Albert T. Powe, the late Henry and Tobias Lemly; the late David and Jos Pool; the late Obadiah Woodson, and others. He was a man of keen perception, good busi- ness qualifications and generally success- ful. ‘Though not indifferent to them he took small part in public affairs, of which, however, he had a correct appre- heusion, and uniformly aligned with the supporters of law and order. His depar- ture creates a void in the community which will be most felt by those who knew him longest and best. Mr. West married the widow of Ficlding Slater, and by this marriage had four children born to him, three of whom, two daughters and one son, are still living, to cherish his memory with filial devo- tion. aerate — LIST OF LETTERS.

This machine is a combination of silver plates so as to represent a large amalga- mating surface, working with rapidity and efticacy, which has not hitherto been seccom- plished. The drawing above represents the machine in working position. . It consists of four corrugated plates fitted together, allowing a space between of4inch. Twe plates are perpendicular, connecting with two horizontally inclived. The pulp passes motion, causing the free gold to impinge on each side, when it passes through the horozontally inclined plates, which act as rifles, catching any escaped gold both en top and bottom. The plates discharge in a circular pan at the end which is given a rotary motlon, thus conceatrating the heavier portion of the tailings for subsequent treatment if necessary. At the top of the machine is a mercury cup which feeds automatically any required mercury to keep the plates in active force. . This machine is espeeially adapted for placer mines. It cam be worked with or without water; it requires no mi!! for pulverization, it only being nee to sift the sand, which can be done at a triffing cost, so that low grade ore cam be wor ed profita- bly. This machine has been practically tested and is now om the Herring mine, Randolph county, where it met with such zuccess as to warrant the belief that it will be of geeat vajue to the mining interest of this State. This machine has an electrical attachment by which the merenry, should it be siek- ened by the verious causes to which it is liable. can te instantly restored to activity, Inspection is invited.

He found it impossible he affairs of the treasury Department by giving the business only a general supervision. Immense labor was required of the Secretary personally. ; ; The continous strain of weighty responsibilities, addded to the everlast- ing worry of petty detail, makes a havoe with the nerve forces that only regular seasons of repose can repair. And re- cuperation is not to be thought of in Washington official life. Society makes larger demands upon public men every year. To entertain and to be enter- tained is to perform the duties attached to the position. To close the doors of a house that custom has rented to soci- ety for the season, as it were, is to be inhospitable and eccentric. It is true Mr. Manning went very little into so- ciety, and left social duties usually to his wife, but for all that he had no rest. [t is to be hoped that the Senate's vote to employ half a million dollars in the erection of another monument here to Lincoln will receive an emphat- ic protest in the Lower House. There is not even the poor argument for the Senate bill that Lincoln has no: memo- rial, as is the case for instance with La- fayette. There is a statue of him in front of the City Hall reared by the colored race, another called Emancipa- tion group, besides several busts and oil to conduct t ' and 50 Senators, and is about as staple in many drug stores as is flour at the corner grocery. Like all good things, Brown's Iron Bitters has been largely imitated. There are unscrupulous manufacturers who cater to just this sort of trade, and some dealers are so lacking in principle, that because a greater profit can be made on fraudulent than on genuine medicines, they are willing to delude the public by pushing off Iron Yonic Bitters and other ‘onic Medicines in place of the genuine Brown’s Iron Bitters, which is undoubtedly one of the purest and best medicines known. These frauds have heen practiced so extensively, that the Company, finding all other means inad- equate, have at last determined to try a little cold law to put a stop to them. Suits for heavy damages have therefore been commenced against Frederick Stearns & Co., Detroit, Mich., who are known as the Non-Secret Medicine Manufacturers, for selling Iron Tonic Bitters; against Meyer Bros. & Co., of St. Louis, Wholesale Druggists for sel- ling Brown's Iron Tonic, prepared by C. J. Lincoln, Little Rock, Ark., and against Jas. A Dickinson, a druggist in Baltimore, for selling Iron Tonic Bit- ters with his name upon the label, which medicine was made by Kosh- land, Hollander & Co., of that city, and claimed as an imitations. We wish the Brown Chemical Company every success in these suits, as it is high time those who have pluck enough to carry large enterprises such as theirs to suc- cess, should be protected from those who live not by their own genius .and effort, but by copying and counterfeit- ing things that have been made stand- ard any valuable by others. -——— Oe WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, April 5, 1886. The House of Representatives has been giying itself to strikes for the past few days, while the Senate has been taking a rest voted by the majority, so that the Republican Senators could fight in caucus over the Ndmunds’ res- olutions. When they passsed these resolutions last week, they supposed they had gotten through with a discus- sion which had been neither as inter- esting nor as profitable as had been an- ticipated. Some of the Republican Senators did not consider it binding upon them to follow the line of party action indicated in the resolutions, and held that they were free to vote upon the President's nominations according to the merits of each case. But Mr. Edmunds angrily demanded what was the use of passing his resolutions if they were to get no good out of them. Caucus after caucus was held, but no agreement was reached, and it is as- serted that the debate was sometimes more acrimonious than the Senators care toyacknowledge. Hoar, Logan, and Morrill are among the refractory Sen- ators, and oddly enough, the latter, who is Mr. Edmunds’ most stubborn comba- tant, represents the same State as he. Mr. ga Orders solicited and satisfaction guaranteed se PROFESSIONAL CARDS. KERR CRAIGE. ~CRAIGE & CLEMENT, Attormeys At aw, JALISBURY, N.C.

It would be regarded by the people as_ partisan obstruction, and would be rescnted as such. Mr Kdmunds and his adherents | tried to secure the adoption of a dozen | differently worded propositions, each practically committing the caucus to carrying out the letter of the Edmunds resolutions, but each was beaten as soon as it was offered. The result will be that the Edmunds resolutions will be virtually repudiated. There is, and has been, no cohesion a- mong te Republican Senators. There is no sincerity in any course they agree upon. One half of them are jealous of the other half, and policies are voted for which no one intends shall be carried out. There are too many Pres- idential aspirants among them for any harmony of pipose. They have neither helped the party nor individual members so far. = The continued illness of Secretary Manning and the recent illness of other Members of teh Cabinet and of Col.

One of their number was de- tailed to guard the sufferers during the night and the man, overcome by fatigue, fell asleep, when hungry wolves came and ate otf all the heads of the poor wretches close to the ground!

Any no ‘count nigger can git a rabbit foot and keep de witches and harnts from pesterin’ him, but he can’t find no money wid it when its hid, onless he’s got de horse sense to ‘long wid it. And de onliest way he can git horse sense is to go some dark night in de woods ontil he comes to an old dead horse's skull shinin’ white on de ground, and when he find it, pick it up in his teeth and carry it as fur as he can, and when he’s "blighed ter drap it keep right on and never look back till he’s out of de woods.

Does any one want to hear it again? Bless you, man, it is as simple as an old shoe. The old Rowan farmer raised his own meat and bread and a little to spare; made. his own cotton and wool and a little to spare; raised his own truck and a little every profession and business;” then asks eaid he to spare; wore homemade clothes and made no debts. Every year was alike to him. The “hard times” never touch- ed him; and he left a good farm clear of mortgage, to be divided among his heirs.

It is to be hoped the creditable work done by Congress during the week is an earnest of what is to follow for the next three months. When the Senate voted to erect a building for the Libra- ry of Congress without one dissenting voice, the Senators were so much grat- ified that many of of them were seen to smile. Thirteen Democrat Senators voted against the admission of Washington Territory as a state, after paying the female voters out there a good deal of attention. Senator Eustis feared that when the women became U. 38. Senators they would tell all the secrets connected with executive sessions. Sen- ator Beck held that the women would neyer be old enough to come within the constitutional limitations to the age. The newly appointed Senator from California, Mr. Hearst, was escorted to the Capitol by his millionaire col- league, Stanford. After being sworn in, he took his seat on the Democratic side, and cast his first vote against the admission of Washington Territory. Mr. Hearst makes another addition to the already long list of rich men in the Senate. is daily income is said to be about $1,200. He has been represent- ed by his enemies as simply a man of money, though there are probably few men who depend less on wealth and position than he. He sunk a good deal of his money in order to give the Dem- ocrats of his state the San Francisco Eraminer, a daily paper in sympathy with their views. His only son has chosen journalism for his profession. After familiarizing himself with its details by beginning at the bottom of the ladder, he expects to take charge of his father’s paper. The House of Representatrves also voted for the Congressional Library. voted to pension the Mexican veterans, all that is left of them, and_ besides passing half a dozen bills of more or less importance, defeated the Bland bill for the unlimited coinage of silver. That probably settles the silver agita- tion for the remainder of the session, leaving the question where it Was at the beginning of the winter. An employee of the Government Printing Office surprised me by saying the demand for speeches on the silver question for campaign purposes was greater than for those on politicial sub- jects. The largest order received this session by the Public Printer was for Wiliam L. Scott’s speech in support of a compromise on the silver question. Mr. Scott is from Pennsylvania, he is a Democrat, is the wealthiest man in the Lower House, and he has been men- tioned as a possible successor to the sick Secretary of the Treasury. The next largest order was for Senator Beck’s no- table speech on silver, which has been called for by both parties. Despite the fact that the President has been warned by physicians since Secretary Manning was stricken down. He takes no more rest, recreation, or exercise than before, but keeps hard at work. His habits of labor seem to be so fixed as to admit of no change, and he tells his friends he knows what he can do, and that there wus no use talking to him. Moro ctrangers have visited Wash- ington during the present season than any previous one. ‘they come in crowds to the White House daily, and Mr. Cleyeland’s hand shaking recep- tions, every other day, are atten(- ed by hundreds. Miss Cleveland's re- ceptions throughout the season were very largely attended. Some of them were such crushes that the crowd was, at times, admitted three or four abreast and extra guards were employed to keep the people in order. Curious incidents have oceurred on some of these occasions. Tor instance, a White House usher was assaulted by two women because he would not ad- mit them fast enough. They were tall, muscular women, and they bruised the usher badly. It was the intention to arrest the offenders, and they were point- ed out to a policeman, but on second thought the matter was allowed to pass. Miss Cleveland bore her part during the last social season with a great deal credit to herself. She showed much good sense and a good deal of kind- heartedness. At her last reception, after she had been shaking hands with thousands, and was necessarily very tired, the published hour for closing the house arrived. There was still a long line of people waiting to pay their respects. Thteguards started to close the doors, but.she ordered them left open until all who had come had been admitted. eS EBD tm Honor to Bennett. It isa pleasure to know that there are men in the South and men in both Houses of Congress, although few in number, who will not bow down and worship the Golden Calf or vote for appropriations they beheve to be wrong in principle, violative of law. dangerous as precedents, and far reaching in bale- ful results. All honor to men who are faithful and true toa fair, consistent, grammatical, logical, strict construe- tion of the Constitution of the Union!

They look ab the quantity and not at the quality. :These large West- esn and Northern papers are filled up with advertisements that do not nor could not be of benefit to our Southern people, such as houses for rent, houses and lots for sale, servants wanted, or situatious wanted by competent appli- cants, &c., &c. There is what is gener- ally called a supplement of from two to four pages, which doubles the size of the paper, that contains nothing but extra advertisements. If you are a close observer you will get as much news in a condensed form in your weekly home paper as you do in the “great advertisers” of the North and West; besides you get all the local news and most important advertise- ments and are patronizing home enter- prise. We merely make these com- ments to show that every locality has its local interest, let it be North, South, Kast or West, and we hope that our citizens will give this a passing thought.

From what we can learn, Mr. John Hanes and his httle son, Jimmie and another man went up the river to raft some logs, and while returning the boat cap- sized. The man swam to a flat and Mr. Hanes caught his son, placed him ina place of safety and took off after the raft—swimming two miles before he overtook it and succeeded in landing it at Fulton.—Davie Times.

This machine is a combination of silver plates so as to represent a large amalge efficacy, which has not hitherto been accom- The drawing above represents the machine in working position. It consists of four corrugated plates fitted together, allowing a space bet ween of¢inch. Twe plates are perpendicular, connecting with two horizontally inclined. The pulp passes trom the battery and falls perpendicularly through the plates, which gives it a zigzag motion, causing the free gold to impin_e on each side, when it” passes through the horozontally inclined plates, which act as riffles, catching any escaped gold both en tap and bottom. The plates discharge in a circular pan at the end which is given 8 rotary motlon, thus concentrating the heavier portion of the tailings for subsequent treatment if necessary. At the top of the machine is a mercury cup which feeds automatically any required mercury to keep the plates in active force. This machine is espeeially adapted for placer mines, It can be worked with or without water; it requires no mill for pulverization, it only being necessary to sift the sand, which can be done at a triffing cost, so that low grade ore can be worked profita- bly. This machine has been practically tested and is now on the Herring m Randolph county, where it met with nee as to warrant the belief that it be of gceat value to the mining interest of this State. . This machine has an electrical attachment by which the mercury, thould it be siek- ened by the various causes to which it is liable, can be instantly restored to activity, Inspection is invited.

H. Vanderford, ex- plained to the reporter one reason why Democr:itic Revenue officers are so suc- eessful in the capture of illicit distil- ‘Yeries and contraband spirits, He says that the Republicans in the mountains ‘make it their business to tell the ofli- cers all they know; they tell on Repub- licans and Democrats alike. Their ob- ject is to make it appear that the oppression is worse under Democratic role. They tell on their neighbors and then go and sympathise with them and blame the Democrats: “I told you so; these Demvucruts promised to wipe out the law, but they have nct doneeo and jt is a great deal worse now than when the Republicans were in power.’ They not only tell on their neighbors, but they send tu Mr. Dowd’s office complete maps of the roads leading to, and of the country surrounding ilhe:t di-tillenes, and the most minute instructions ac- eompany these drawings. ‘These maps are coming in every day, said Mr. Van- derford. Why sir, I have just returned from Wilkes county. Collector Dowd sent me one of these maps of a large distillery hidden in a secluded corner ot the Brushy mountains in that county. IT mounted my horse in Salisbury and rode right straigh to the distillery, fol- lowing the directions on the map. It was as easy found as a country church; but without this knowledge a gang of five raiders would not have foand it in ge month's search. The people of that past of North Carolina are Democratic revenne officers, and no wonder. They are bound to destroy these distilleries when found or pointed out to them. They would find but few without the help above described, Mr. Vanderford de: distilleries and captured 200 gallons of brandy so far this month, all of which was reported to the Collector's otiice and directions sent for capturing it.

The North Carolina Agricultural Bulletin for this month, records the successful fa:ming of Mr. Thos. Wil- son, of Jackson connty, N.C. We will let the Bulletin speak: Mr. Thomas Wilson, of Wamburg township, Jackson county, N. C., went into the deep forest, nine years ago, with his axe and his family. To-day he has 70 acres of fine land, clearcd and fenced, and which produced large crops of wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat, timothy and clover, potatoes, etc. He has a large orchard of apples, pears and peaches now bearing, a comfortable house, and barns. a a good bunch of stock cattle, of Which he sells'@ few now and then, for cash; a flock of sheep, and other stock, and is a thor- oughly independent man.

Co. for $2.00. @amages. The case was tried at Ate and the jury awarded property was Strikes are as common just now as shooting stars in the month of Novem- ber. Working people in almost all de- partments are either on a strike or threatening to do it. Business affairs are in a very unsettled state, especially in the Northern, Western and South- western parts of the country. Coal miners, coke men, railroad employees, city car drivers, glass blowers, hatters, civar makers, etc., etc., etc., are con- testing either for fewer hours of work or larger pay. These disturbances con- ‘ern us all, more or less. If they shall result in higher wages to the strikers the inference is higher prices for the products of their labor; and the con- sumers of those products will have to pay the concession, whatever it may be, It is therefore a good time for people to provide for themselves with- out being too largely dependent on others. It is always a good time for people to take care of themselves with- out the help of others when it is possi- ble to do so; but it is especially so when the cost of help consumes all that is made, It is a common observation that it is harder for a man to save his earnings Lnow-a-days than it was thirty or forty years ago; and the reason for it is, that the fashion of living has changed; so that by the time a mao has enjoyed all the new advantages of life he is either even with the world or in debt to it. A good deal of self-denial is indispensible jin saving anything amidst the tempta- en which beset the present pathway of human life. The “strikers,” as a igeneral thing, are better paid than working people were years ago; but for the reasons assigned above find it hard- er to live. | ab aie Ge “Making Sugar from Sorgo and Afri- | can Cane. Cincinnati, Ohio, have issued a hand- book treatise on Chinese and African sugar canes, the treatment of cane juice, and the apparatus for making isyrup and sugar. It is a carefully pre- pared work, and would no doubt be of Important service to persons engaged in Civil Service Applied Locally. A Washington statement shows that less than oue-seventh of the Govern- ment employees come under the opera- tion of the Civil Service law.. And yet that is quite sufficient to embarrass the chief executive officer of the country who is made responsible for the faith- ful execution of the laws, but not al- lowed to choose his own agents and assistants in the performance of his high trust. If the County Commissioners of Row- an were to appoint a committee of three citizens to pass on the merits and qualifications of deputy sheriffs, and designate who should serve in that capacity, thus taking from the Sheriff the right to choose his own deputies, it would be a case precisely similar to that of the Civil Service Commission making appointments for the Presi- dent. Lawyers do not hesitate to de- nounce it as unconstitutional, and the common people of the county can easi- ly see that it is a violation of fairness and common sense justice. President Cleveland ought to disregard the un- constitutional law and meke his own appointments in the old fashioned way ; but he seems to think hé should res- pect the law, and hence we have, toa large extent, the anamolous condition of a Democratic President trying to carry out Democratic principles i government through Republican agents.

The Raleigh News & Observer says: Julius J. Luck, a white man, who last August “ran amuck”’ at Manly and shot Calvin Ray, Gaston Pierce, Tom Kelly and Sam Shaw, has been at trial at Car- thage.

SAL-MUSCATELLE A'POSITIVE, NATURAL Sick. Headache and For the Watchman, The Recent Fire-.A Suggestion, On last Sunday night about 10 o’clock, Mr. Tobias Lyerly discovered that his barn was on fire, When he first saw it the flames were in the roof, with a amall blaze in the front of his horse stable door. In a half a minute that flame was rising from a wet, muddy place to the roof of the barn, It seems that a quantity of kerosene oil had been poured there. The buildings all being somewhat compacted anda strong breeze going directly from the barn towards the house, the flames soon spread from one to another until every house on the place, except a black- smith shop, was in ashes; including two barns, corn crib, lumber house, wheat- house, hen house and dwelling house. The neighbors ran to his relief as soon AS they could, and succeeded in getting the most of the house property out that was below, nearly all of that u stairs was destroyed, Part of his chickens, all in the smoke house, his wheat, corn, oats, farming tools, two large wagous, one apring wagon, six head o cattleand threo head of horses were all destroyed in the flames. He has a few chickens, sheep and geese left him, A little pet dog, which had quieted down in one corner of a room to go with the rest, was last snatched from the burning house and handed to his little daughter, who em- braced it and exclaimed in the greatest agony, “Pet, you and I are without a home.” A more complete destruction perhaps was never seen in the country. We would suggest that the county get two or three of the best blood hounds in the country, and keep them inSalisbury, where they can be hadat any hour called for. Let the county own and feed them. We believe the prevention will be worth more than the expense of the dogs. It is evident that the track of t cendiary is there, ee A Card.

WAVER & SOM, cur sulborized agonts mevtal de-! gome that Iam guilty of the charges re- cently brought against me, I beg leave smart, and thoroughly prepared, but The 265 taken were all Republicans, every mother's son, and some of them didn’t have sense enough to get out of a shower of rain. But their fathers, or their uncles, or their cousins were Republican mem- bers of Congress and offensive parti- sans to boot. Offensive partisans! Well that is the poorest excuse _in the world to turn aman out for. Where is the reform in turning one offensive parti- san out to put another offensive parti- san in? We are all offensive partisans. We holler hurrah for our side, and we ought to. The people turned Arthur out and made Blaine take a back seat, and that meant turn them all out even down to the postmasters at “Ty Ty” and “T'oq Nigh” and “Hard Times,” whose offices don't pay fifty dollars a year, Turn the Republicans out 1s the word. . . : I admire Mr. Cleveland for many things. but he can’t run with the rab- bit and bark with the hounds. administration has got to be Demo- cratic or nothing. Those Republicans have held the public offices so long they really believe they have a warran- tee title or fee simple to them and their heirs forever. They don’t confess to a quit claim, and they won't quit claim- ing either. Why, it pretty near takes the military to get them out. Mr. Cleveland ought to wake from his Uto- ian dreams, his “obnoxious desuetude” got number 27. ‘and shake his ambrosial locks and say file left, march. He will lose some good men and get some bad ones in their places, but we can't help that. The country can’t be worsted. It is high time that a new set were in training. ‘It will take our boys ten years to get as expert in the spoils business as the through your columns to declare the truth in regard to the matter. At first I thought I would treat the whole with contempt, and thereby show complete in- difference to such insults. But as my good name and manners were brought into re- | quisition, I cannot resist a reply, In the ‘first place when the committee of the 7th district, Providence township, requested me to teach their school I agreed to do it, but did not know then what a reputation the district held, Butit was not long, | however, until I was informed by some of ‘the most truthful men of said district that lit was one of the worst places a teacher ‘could chance to mect, And it was no igreat while until this opinion was con- | firmed by several occurrences which took i place in the school room, Now in regard a iny circulating incredulous reports the school I have only to say and I hoped I would not have this to say as publicly as this. I never taught at a place where I was treated by pupils with as little re- spect and gourtesy as in and about the Pool school house. With respect to the mysic and my leay- ing the school a half day before the close it is only necessary to say that I jad in- tended to employ the musicians myself and bear the expenses, but the majority of the students expressed dissatisfaction with all my plans in regard to the music and performances of the exhibition, for which it was to be employed. Then 4s this spirit had manifested itself dyring the whole term I resolved to let them rule without any opposition, I admit that I left the school half a day before my time was replly out, but ] had a rea- son for so doing. Same of the largest young men in the school came to me and told me, now your time js out you can leave and need not eyen gome back to the exhibition, ete, J took them at their word and made my departure. And I would have the public to know that I am not guilty of using unchaste language on any oceasion. Of this fact I will let my associates bear witness. It is held by some people that there is an intermediate place between this lifeand torment. If this be true I claim to have had nearly four months experience in that regicn while doing my last duty as school teack- er. It is certainly with much regret that I am compelled to express my senti- ments so freely. R. L. BAME. Bill Arp on Civil Service. THE GEORGIAN TELLS THE TRUTH IN PLIAN WORDS. Augusta (Ga.,) Chronicle, Dem. 1 think that Mr. Cleveland is a great and good man, but he misunderstood the hoys when he heard them shouting, “Turn the rascals out,” and now he has been thirteen montho huuting for the “rascals” and hearing evidence on hoth sides; and the way he is progress- ing it will take him thirteen years to get through. Well that is a kind and charitable view to take. It is a hard duty to turn a good, honest man out of oftice when the office is his chief sup- port. But, ‘turn about is fair play’ is a jewel and twenty-five years’ of “ins” ought to satisfy any reasonable party or partisan, beter offensive or de- feusive. I believe that our bays would enter into a solemn covenant, right now, that if they were allowed to stay in for the next twenty-five years they would all step down and out and give up the lease and make no claim for betterments. Personally, ] will do that and give security. * * Mr. Cleve- land was elected on that single issue: “Turn the rascals out;” by which we meant turn them all out. Not that every mother’s son was arascal, but the honest ones were scarce and in bad company and under bad control, and had to Fe shut mouth and be accesso ries after the fact like a receiver of stolen goods. The leaders said if you love me you must love my dog; and the dog said if you love me you must love my master; and so we bunched the whole concern together and called them rascals. Byt suppose there are no rascals and all are honest and capa- ble and deserving. How long is a man to held an office, a public office that belongs to the people? Is not twenty- five years long enough when there are a dozen outsiders who want it? Why we Democrats here of the Solid South won't let a Democrat stay in half that long. Rotation is the word. Rotate. If there are ten pigs and only five teats let them suck time about. That js Iyeason enough. * * Reform is a good word, but in politics it don’t mean anything—not a darned thing.

But any change will be for the public good, and if our boys go to plundering it will give a wider spread of national favors and save filing a bill for distribution, So let Mr. Cleveland reconsider his ways and be wise. | would like an office myself. a sort of a ‘sine qua non; but 1 see no chance. There used to be a way of creating an oflice just to fita man, but I don't hear of it now, Mr, LeDue and Mr. Loring did remember me and appointed me agricultural correspondent for my county, but there is no pay attached to it—nothing but a few turnip seed and tobacco seed—and that is the way all over the South. The Democrats fill these sort offices and the Republicans the others. What we all expected was a change—a change unanimous and ubiquitous. We wanted to see the whole grand army of 100,000 office- holders pack up and come out and fall into line, and Mr. Cleveland to stand on the dome of the Capitol, with his wand in his hand and hear hin ex- claim in a voice of thunder: “Now let the procession proceed. * * * Why, sir, the North got rich off of the war —immensely rich—and the South got or—intensely poor—and they would bees us poor forever if they could. IJ want a pension right now to mike me feel friendly, and they won't give it. Andif Mr. Cleveland don’t hurry up with the offices our people wen't care a baubee who is President.

Life moves) with phenomenal speed through its spacious streets. The pig born at dawn is stuck at eventide; the steer that bel- lows at break of day is dressed in its last dress and shipped with the setting sun; the woman married at noon is divorced by night; the grain sown one day is cornered the next, and all the while the hungry waters of Lake Michi- gan are lapping up their prey at the rate of four inches a year. No wonder that the constitution of the average Chicagoan is worn and shattered, that nervous diseases are as common as malaria on Staten Island, and that Sam Jones withdraws from such a maelstrom with the remark, “I feel like I could be bought for a nickel and then cheat the man who bought me.” The physical activity of the lace had completely subdued the spir- itual ardor of the evangelist, and the voice of the prophet was utterly lost in the saturnalia of trade. What Chica- go really needed was a practical doctor, not a sensational preacher. Happily enough he has been found, and now comes to the rescue of wasted and vitiated Chicagoan tissue with a reme- dy that is at once pleasant and easy to take. It consists of a machine, not unlike a barber's chair, in which the patient reclines, and which, by means of an ingenious combination of clockwork and steam, is made to oscillate at the rate of 120 oscillations a minute, the object being, of course, to give an arti- ficial shakeup to a nervous system that is too weakened to arouse its own latent energies. The machine is also pecu- liarly efficacious in rheumatic affections of the extremities, in which cases the arms or legs only are put in motion and the torso allowed to remain quiet. The idea has taken like an Alderman. The doctor already has a large hallful of men and women under diuly treat- ment, and a visit to his establishment is said to reveal nothing ridiculous or undignified. On the contrary the os- cillating ladies and gentlemen are very much at their ease, conyersing and reading the papers. While their move- ments are of course somewhat forced and automatic, there is an air of life and action about the scene that quite compensates for a Jack of grace. This healthful movement has is named “jiggling,” and, like many another fanciful cure, it has become so fash- ionable that the question of the hour in Chicago is, “Do you jiggle?” —N. Y. Star.

Crump of Stanly county, who keeps the ferry on Roeky Rivery. at Cramp’s Malls, missed being shot dead by one of his neighbors by a hiar's braith. He was turkey hunting, as was his neighbor, Mr. John Sinith. Both were yelping for the game, and each thought the other a turkey. Mr. Cramp Was stooping close to the ground, peering through the bushes, trying to get a glimpse at what he conceived to be the advancing bird. Mr. Smith was similarly en- gaged. As Mr. Crump was moving his head, first to one side, and then to the other, Mr. Smith espied bis black hat. —all that he saw, little thinking that Bill Crump was hiding behind that hat. Mer. Smith, who is one of the best rife shots in this part of the State, raised his gun, took a deliberate aim and banged away. The ball grazed the hat, leaving a track to show where it had traveled. Before reaching the hat, the bull struck a twig on a tree, about ‘two feet in front of Mr. Crump, and -eut it in twain. This, it is believed, leaused the ball to turn from its origi- nal line, thus saving Mr. Crump’s life. | Wadesboro Intelligencer. | Caught Him. | Ina trap baited with a live goose, a farmer in Harnett county, N. C., re- cently captured a bald eagle, whose wings measured 10 feet from tip to tip. the place, and Wednesday, the 25th of | ing ground. Cranks of all shades and | types congregate there and harass the weary toilers with their senseless rav- ings. Dumb meanness is there too, which wants to get its wares praised in | the editorial column, and thus escape paying for an advertisement. Cri brained, idle-pated philosophers file in, with stories as long as their hair, and as gloomy as their finger nails. People wonder that newspaper men are irreli- gious; but for my part I wonder that a newspaper man, confronted as he 1s, day by day, with the pettiness, the meanness, the folly of mankind, be- lieves in anything! Were it not for his early training at his mother’s knee | out on the farm, lessons which can never be entirely effaced, he would cease believing altogether. $$$ <> ¢ <i ——$__— Should the Farmers Organize? The State Chronicle of the 15th inst. contains a strong, and earnest and pa- triotic appeal from Mr. J. B. Smith. of Osmond, N.C., to the farmers of the State to orginize. [1+ presents the sume views (but expressed much more cleverly) that we advanced some weeks ago in urging the farmers to unite and thus be in a position, that should it be- come necessary for them to speak, their voice wauld be heeded. In the hostile attitude between labor organi- zations and capitalists, which seriously threatens revolution, we feel that the well being of society, the great acri- | cultural interests of the country, and | most probably the very institutions | wiieh we cherish largely in tae keep- ing of the farmers of the lind—the most conservative element of all our population. The torch, — dynamite and shot guns of “strikers” and the domineering assumptions of greedy capital, are equally dangerous to lib- erty. There must bea “break water” to these dangerous elements of revolution, and it is to be found among the honest, sturdy, patriotic tillers of the soil. We earnestly join Mr. Smith in his appeal to our farmers to organize tor their own protection. oe epee Help Him. When yon see a weak and tottering fellow begin to stumble and fall, go to him quickly, take him by the hand and help him to erect himself and get Ins foot hold again. Don't add to his dis- eomfort by alluding to the distressing fact that he had fallen, and don't in- erease his burden of humiliation by let- ting others see that you found him in the gutter. “Nine times out of ten had you been placed in his fix, with the sume pit falls of temptation before you, and the same trials and troubles and perplexities to annoy and harrass and to divert yoursteps from the straight and narrow pathway of a blameless lite and a flawless department, you too would have gone astray and fallen as he has done. So let us be more lenient in our judgments of the short-comings of each other; let us throw the soft lmintle of charity over the blurs and blemishes of human weakness, and let us try to get so near to each other in our earthly trials and temptations so that the heart strings more closely united will so keep up the electric eur- rent of universal kinship, that when one chord trembles under the touch of misfortune’s hand all others will feel the vibration of suffering, and awaken responsive notes of sympathy and con- solation. Be kind to each other then. and these blessed acts will help to sweeten that Initter cup of sorrow, which every sin cursed son of Adam must sooner or later drink to its dregs. OO A Grand Donation to the Nat'l fuseum. Dr. C. V. Riley, Entomologist of the Department of Agricultural and Hon- al Museum, has presented to the Na- tional Museum his extensive private collection of North American insects, representing the fruits of his labors in collecting and study for 25 years. His collection contains over 20,000 species, represented by over 115,000 pinned specimens, and much additional mater- ial preserved in alcohol or other meth- ods. It is estimated by those familiar with the collection to have a money value of at least $25,000. In addition to the actual eost of material, it 1s jiard to estimate the amount of time and i labor that such a collection represents. In acknowledging the donation, Prof. Baird expresses the warmest apprecia- tion for this most generous gitt, and his assurance that both now and in the future it will atford a valuable means of study for the entomologists of this country. This collection 1s especially lyich in Coleoptera and Lepidoptera, and blown and in aleohol. aLmerican.. ee 0 The bird had been ravaging the vicini- ty for many weeks, carrying off large’ numbers of poultry and sheep, aeeordeon. —Sytings. | Sometimes he doesn't. jagent, he gets “thank you” with his orarv Curator of Insects in the Nation- | the latter contains many rare larva, | As it stands, | says the cLmerican Naturalist, by this | gift the entomological collections of | the National Museum are next in impor- | tance to those at Cambridge.—Scientific , It is better to be alone in the world than to bring a boy up to play on the’ farm. W. W. Patterson of Scranton, Pa., has invested nine huudred dollars in an ex- periment of growing sweet. potatoes in N.C. Mr. Patterson is a man of means; if his experiment is a success he will plant out one thousand acres in sweet potatoes every year for the northern market. ‘The experimentis being con- ducted by a friend of Mr. Patterson’s, F. P. Woodward, Esq., who located in N.C. last year. It isto be hoped that this venture will prove a success for there are thousands of acres of sandy lands that will successfully grow sweet potatoes. R. Stevens, Johnston City, Tenn., will visit the Piedmont section of North Caro- lina tolook upa location for a small colony of farmers and business men. Mr. Stevens is a real estate dealer and a man of influence. He wishes to make a set- tlement in a section where he can geta large quantity of land to dispose of, Mr. Jas. L. Flynn, of Sedar Lake, Dak. desires to purchase a farm of from two to three hundred acres, desires two thirds of the place under cultivation wits some bearing fruit trees. Farmers in North Carolina having such lands for sale should correspond with Mr. Flynn. J.S. Roger, of Epsy, Pa. goes to Swain county, N. C. to purchase farming lands for himself and father. They leave Penn- sylvania on account of the cold and una- greeable climate. 0 te Railroad Politeness and Impoliteness. Statesville Landmark. It isa lamentable fact that here in North Carolina one can never have any assurance that he will get from a rail- road mean, unless he isa personal friend a civil answer to a civil question. We can lay our hand on a gentleman who, on one oc- casion less than a year ago, was sorely tempted to slap the head off a little ill- bred depot whipper-snapper for his in- tolerable rudeness. In this connection we regret very much to note instruc- tions set out to the empllovees of the Western North Carolina Railroad Com- pany that they are to answer no “un- necessary questions.’ There are some of them who need no lessons in dis- courtesy, and these instructions are re- markable. In the North, managers of railroads, steamship, street car and oth- er companies require that employees be polite to thar customers, and re- quest passengers to report any discour- tesy to headquarters. Oftener than otherwise in the North when a passen- ger buys a ticket of a railroad ticket ehange. But our much vaunted “South- era politeness” has not struck in so deep on North Carolina railroad em- ployees as to need to be held in check by instructions from headqnarters to answer no “unnecessary questions.” There are some agents down here in God's country (no reference to our friend Scales) to whom a man already feels ike apologizing whenever he asks one of them the price of a ticket toa given point; and, while a cat may look at 2 king. aman would as soon think of touching the hem of a sleeping car porter's garments as to tire a question, necessary or not, at some of the con- ductors. age In the United States every two hun- dreth man takes a colleve course; in in’ England every five-hundreth; in Seotland every six-hundred and thir- teenth, and in Germany every one- hundred and thirtcenth.

Senator Blair is eager to endow us with the means and methods of this New England education and many of us are eager for the spoils. Had we better not stop and ask ourselves if we'want their kind of popular education at all! The wniter is not opposed to true popu- lar education by any means, but lieving that there are vitally danger- ous errors in the prevalent system of public schools, he desires earnestly that the South may profit by this sad ex- parents where the system has been ongest tried. The Massachusetts sys- tem merely furnishes the brain, and gives no solid moral character and no training to the body, or fitness for earning an honest living.— Prof. Chas. W. Dadney in Raleigh Observer. <p As They do It in China. British husbands, when their dinner parties turn out failures, are apt to grumble roundly at their wives for the cook's misdemeanors, but they abstain from the practical style of rebuking practiced by the Celestials. Recently a Chinese professor gave a national banquet to his fellow professors, and was much put.out because the cookery was not to his taste. After a time he got up, bowed solemnly, said, “Go lickee wife,” and departed, returning presently, smiling and bland as usual, after having administered judicious chastisement to his better half. __——_ ~~. —-—_-— Statistics show that in the whole of Europe the women have a majority of 4,579,000. ae oS ‘OSS ‘G6 YBN ‘TeAIy "VC ‘saotnd fo pury 38980] ay} IF ug “O~p ‘op ‘s19}}NC MBIT ‘SIT UL Surpery Pou Ay {SLIMOTY [9903S pue siapurg Jlag ‘stadvayy payViqefag S.MOINYOOON pus ‘sayxey os10}{ ‘STI 380U AL ‘STORE AA TIONS IE] UOTYse PIO s,uosdwoyy, —osT¥— ——_— §0o§ ———_- ; soyods opdvyy sou ‘sayods opdeyy 10u sojxe Avpdog OU aABy puv ‘soueyoo]y BUrpoIwy qywon Aq ynq spotAuod AIRY U9 Tog AG opBUl jou oe AITLL :SUAHLO TTY JO PVIy oy} UT ATA ALOU ‘suohp 4, 2UOVLpaIg payntg2]3,) oy} puy os[e TIA not atoyAs “TASty “V “FO Te) Jo pavay t0.A9 oottd ysaMoy OY} 1B ‘Jol[oysuloy oopleg Y- quum not JT "SHOU STRSSTOTM 1 Cog ABBng snqun[o,) ayy Aq apeut asoy} Sarpnpot —sozis pure spuly [Iv WY} S[IVpIA ay] IOF ‘TTIMLY ‘V ‘ © 118) ‘HoOVJ] JO asvtw4ey) B ‘royoryg v ‘ASIng quBa Nod JT OPiS i ACOPGAAGAA Our Annual Closing Out Sale, Preparatory to Inventory.

It has been so short atime since we knew Mr. Blackmer was thinning out his nursery and giving away the young trees to his neighbors, that it did not seem possible he now had fruit bearing trees, and upon that assumption made the statement. But it wasa mistake. The trees are now seven years old from the seed and have been bearing fruit for the last two years. This is all the better for the pecan and all the more encouraging for those who wish to grow them. Any young farmer, or other person owning lands, can easily make a pecan grove, and after a few years have nuts to eat or to sell according as he may choose to do. Seed nuts can be bought in any of our shops, at any timeof the year. The fall season is probably the right time to put them out. —_— —--_—~<epeo —— The Poct Father Ryan Gone. Father Abram J.

The Methodist Sunday School celebrat- ed Enster by a public entertainment at the church on Sunday night. The exer- cises consisted in recitations in sympathy with the occasion, by the smaller mem- bers of the school, which were inter- dered, The church was elaborately dce- orated, the rays of light from a profusion scripture, all relating to the resurrection. The eutire programme, lasting not ex- ceeding an hour, was rendered in a man- ner, that gave evidence of a prosperous wide-awake Sundlay School, under com- petent management. The church was full to overflowing, and all pronounced it an enjoyable oceasion.

This festival has rarely been more generally observed here than it was this 'year. The weather was highly favorable out-door sports, excursions, picnics, parties, etc., and there was a pretty general turn-out of young people, The assemblage at what is known as ‘St. John’s mill,’ and also at “Shaver’s mill,’ was large and varied, comprising persons of all ages, male and |fernale. The banks at Grant's creek were }also lined, and every shade had its little | party of ienenre seekers. The fisher- /men came home with ‘“‘fisherman’s luck,” lasa general thing, the fish having con- ;cluded that it was not healthy to eat earth worms on Easter Monday. The boys with Easter eggs enjoyed the usual | Sport of “pic ‘king,’ and so the day passed ‘pleasantly, and to the socizei! good of all | for fishing especially. ee A Properous Neighborhood. | The traveler on the old Mt. Pleasant ‘road will be surprised to note the im- | provements going on around Frick’s |store, about six miles from Salisbury. | The people have gone to work with a de- | termination to improve the section, and leach farmer bas put his shoulder to the iwheel. Among the improvements may | be noted J. W. Frick's store, a saw mill, |cotton gin, cabinet shop, grain cradle \works and ashoe shop. The following ; Well known farmers have built new dwel- ling houses: A. Lyerly, D. Gant, W. _Earnhart, C. C. Wyatt, E. Fesperman, J. |T. Wyatt, B. Rainy, M. Jones, L. Agner, 'R. Kluttz, RB. Foil and J. W. Frick. ; These enterprising men are engaged in raising cotton and tobacco, and enough lof grain to do them, Diversify your jerops; do not plant 7 more than can be well cared for, and suceess is yours, | a | Easter Ball. The young gentlemen of the Salisbury | Pleasure Club, scored another success in their Easter Ball, given at the Club rooms _|on last evening. It proved an enjoyable | oceasion to a large vumber of our citizens 'and also, toa number of distinguished |ladies and gentlemen, who are visiting bere just now. The party were in even- ‘ing dress. There are few, if any towns the size of this, in any State, that can | make so good a showing of really attrac- \tive people as Salisbury. This fact proba- { |to have frequent assemblies, which are | certainly brilliant and enjoyable. — ee eq H; meneal. Fulton Street enjoyed a ripple of ex- citement on last Tuesday evening, the occasion being the marriage of Miss M. Lizzie Brown to Mr. H. M. Jones. The ceremony was performed at the residence of the bride’s mother, by J. Rumple, D.D., and was attended by a large circle of the family’s immediate friends and relatives, among them, Mrs. Jno. L. Brown, of Charlotte. The contracting parties are well known, not only in society here, but largely in the State. Immediately after the ceremony, the bride and groom start- ed onashort tour north. A large num- ber of friends accompanied them to the depot to wish the:n a pleasant journey and a safe return. —_—-——~ Se Washed Over a Dam. A party at South River, on last Mon- day, were enjoying the day variously, when it occurred to a Salisbury youth to have some tun of his own. He accord- ingly got two giris and another youth to join him in acanve ride. He deliber- ately pulled down to the mill dan and began showing how near he could pull to the falling water. In a moment he was inthe rapids, when the boat and crew madea plunge of some nine feet into the river below the dam. Fortunate- ly none of the purty were hurt in the plunge, and all were saved—the girls losing their hats. It was a narrow escape for them. 2 MINING DEPARTMENT. — -—s-—- T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. Gold Knob Mines. Mr. Frank Williams, owner of the Guld Knob mines in Rowan county, has let a contract to responsible New York parties, to mine and mill a given num- ber of tons of ore, per annum, for three years, he to get a royalty of $2.50 per ton. The lessors will put in a plant of machinery, consisting of a 100-horse power boiler; 80-horse power engine; 20 stamp battery and 5 Frue Vanning ma- chines for concentrating purposes. The lessors also have the right to buy at any time—the price having been fixed in the lease. The John Misenheimer property on Buffalo Creek, in Cabarrus county, but belonging to the Gold Hill (Rowan covn- ty) group, will probably be worked by these gentlemen also. The Sam Christian Clean up. As recently reported, the Sam Chris- tian mine in Montgomery county, has put in a plant of machinery which saves gold by amalgation and gravitation, | known as the ‘‘Progressive Placer Amal- gamator,”’ and that a test run had been made which demonstrated the. value of the process in saving ‘‘floai gotd.’’ Since this experiment has been tried, the plant has been doing regular work. Last week the first ‘‘elean up” was made and re- Club. In the good old town of Salisbury, | ing habit, is on the decline. It is an ex- ceedingly rare thing to see an intoxicated man on the streets. The young men, the pride and strength of the town, are, as a rule, less given to their cups than has been known here for years. The saloon keepers, good judges in such matters, are beginning to speak of the condition of carries a bottle, and that They are making bril- drinks at all, there is no town trade. nothing. Elegant establishments, liantly lighted, glittering with the splen- dor of fine cut glass and reflected trom french plate mirrors, have no customers to clink the glasses and drink the rudy cheer. state of things? It is gravely whispered by these complainers that the “Old Hickory Club” is responsible in a meas- ure for the falling away of the town pat- ronage. The young men ounce played pool, billiards and other games of amuse- ment in the saloons or rovins adjoining, Where it Was fashionable to drink. Now they have those innocent games in their club rooms where it is anything but fash- ionable to drink, and where he is not at liberty to so much as invite a fellow member todo so. This does not mean that the Clubis a temperance organization, but only that its rules do not tolerate “treating” to anything. It is gratifying to be able to record a decline in whisky drinking as a habit among our townsmen, and a pleasure to be able to point to the social “Old Hickory Club” as a means of accomplishing so desirable an end, even Had the dub been organized for such a purpose, it would doubtless have no existence to-day, but on the contrary, the members are proud of their quarters, do all they can to im- prove its surroundings, and make it a place for social intercourse and innocent pleasure. in an indirect way. aes Boston Star Concert Company. The citizens of Salisbury, and the mu- sical people generally in Rowan county, will hail with pleasure the advent ofthis superb musical organization. They give only one concert here, Tuesday, May 11th, and no one interested in either instru- mental or vocal music can afford to miss of hearing these cele- brated musicians. The members of church choirs, the student of music, (whose conceptions must be cultivated by hearing the finest artists), lovers of music, in fact, every body should hear this con- cert. See advertisement in this paper. To show how these stars shine, both at home and abroad, the following excerps from leading papers are quoted: Miss Medora Henson, the third singer, is a new comer, a young American vocal- ist, with a soprano of agreeable timbre and extensive compass, and which she has under thorough control. *She gave the exacting scene, “Medea,” by Signor Randeggar, with admirable expression, and great dramatic power, creating a dis- tinctly favorable impression, and being recalled to the platform on the conclusion of the task.—Z'he (London) Queen. It must be a source of great gratifica- tion to young Emerson that he has been received with such enthusiasm on this side of the water. But we say, in all honesty, that he deserves every word of enthusiastic praise bestowed upon him by admiring audiences. Such wondertul manipulations of the cornet, the marvel- lous triple tonguing, and holding of high notes in brilliant passages, the soft, smooth notes in a pathetic passages, played with such remarkable expression, are seldom to be heard in a litetime.— London Advertiser. The eighth in the series of Star Course entertainments attracted the usual large audience to Trement Temple last evening, every seat on the floor and in both bal- conies being occupied. The selections by Miss Brown were the most enjoyable part of the entertainment. Miss Brown isa thorough artist, and te audience showed its appreciation of ber efforts by hearty applause, which was repeated several times, until she had responded to an en- coro.—Boston Daily Advertiser. Had Rubinstein performed this pro- gramme, it would have seemed as a whole, eminently worthy of his powers.

Biles Mine. Mr. W. T. Harris, of the Biles mine, in Stanly county, was here last week and reported avery favorable condition for the Biles. He brought up for shipment several hundred dwt. of coarse free gold, and says they are working free milling quartz ore taken from a vein varying from 18 inches to two feet in width, and from a 25 foot shaft. When the vein con- tracts and is only 18 to 20 inches wide, the ore is exceedingly rich. A piece the size of a man’s head will generally yield from three to five pennyweights of gold pan. They are using a five stamp mill, and are making money, or as he expresses it: “If the ore holds out, as at present, it will not take long tc make us rich.” Nugget Gold. Col. Jno. F. Cotton, of Montgomery county, was here last week with a lot oi nugget gold taken from one of his proper- ties by petty miners. A number of land owners in that county receive quite a snuy little sum annually from this source. Every farmer is practically a miner. They live easy, contented lives, making all they need for sustenance of family and stock, and sometimes depend on picking up gold enough for purchasing outside domestic supplies. Randolph Notes. The Winningham mine has been sold to Capt Fisher of England. The price has not been given to the public. It is reported that ‘Poplar Branch Mine” has gone into the hands of English purchasers. A five stamp mill is running at Davis Mountain. Work at the North State Mine has been closed down and the Company are putting up machinery at the Uwharrie mine. M. Hammond, of Bush hill, has made a discovery of a large vein of auriferous sulphide ore, which carries in addition to vold, a percentage of copper. It is on what is known as the ‘saw mill’’ land. The ‘‘Mikado” Mine. The Mikado mine in Anson county, has been unwatered, and the water is being kept in fork. Capt. Robinson will soon have the mine in full running order. Negotiations are under way for open- ing a large property in Union county soon. 10 Pennyweights. Mr. T. G. Cress, of Litaker township, picked up, while digging a post hole in his yard, a nugget of gold, which weighed 10 dwt. and dO grains. It was bright and clean, and looked as if water-worn. Prof. W. E.

Happiness in this life is the one grea® oa of men and women. The young seek more eagerly than those whose age has given them the advantage of experience. Man’s imperfect knowledge of what is good or evil should warn him to be tem- perate, and attach him more firmly to those few things known to be good. A sound mind in a sound body are of this class and first in value. Health and peace, a moderate fortune and a few friends, sum up all the undoubted elements of worldly | | felicity. Those whose wishes are most reasonable and bounded, are likely to lead the safest and most desirable life. High aspirations often miss the happiness they seek and inflict the pangs of disappoint- ment. High happiness on earth is more the picture of the imagination than the reality man is allowed to enjoy. These views relate alone to worldly objects and the happiness they are capa- ble of yielding. If true and abiding happi- ness be sought, man must rise above the sensuous objects considered to those com- mended to him by his Creator, the God of love and Infinite Perfection. What are they ? Briefly, the forgiveness of sins, the protection, guidance and the favor of God. These may be sought with every assurance of a happiness which shall flow like ariver. And Jesus Christ has made it possible—way, easy—for man to attain a peace which passes all human understanding. He who gains it will shortly set small store by the pleasures of the world, and with the poet exclaim: “How vain are all things here below, How false and yet how fair; Each pleasure has its poison too, And every sweet a snare. * oy * * * * * “Dear Jesus let thy beauties be My soul's eternal tood, And grace command my heart away From all created good.” eo LIST OF LETTERS.

A comet ts now vistble in the morning skieg, and it can be seen any clear morning with the naked eye, from 2 oclock until dawn blots it from view. It 1s the comet discovered by Fabry at Paris, France, on December Ist last. With «# telescope the comet 1s a beauti- ful object, with a tail Some five or six degrees long, very slender and neatly shaped. A bright starlike nucleus shines in the head and is surrounded by a nebulous glow of light. A group of small stars can be seen some dis- | tance back of the head shining through ithe gauzy train without any diminu- | tion of their lustre. The comet promi- ses to be a conspicuous object in a few idays as its briilaney is now only 60 times that of discovery, and it will rapidly increase up to the 29th, at which |time it will be brightest. The comet i will then be visible n the evening, set- iting less than .an hour after the sun, ebut it will be 560 times as bright as when discovery which may somewhat compensate for the disadvantage of its being seen on atwilight sky. The comet will then be moving very rapidly to- ward the southwest..—Char. Obs. ~+Po ___— | What Discussion Does.

Duelling is wrong in itself, a viola- tion of the commandment “Thou shalt dono murder.” It is a violation of the Constitution and laws of North Caro- lima. In my case to indulge in such aw practice would be a violation of the oath I have taken to bear allegiance to the constitution and laws of our State. Being still a member of the General Assembly I recognize the obh- vation resting upon me as such, Aside from these views I cannot recovnize the method as a solution or acure of the grievance of which you compluin. Were you to kill me or | to kill you there would be no vindica- tion of courage, nor would it satisfy your friends or mine or the public gen- erally that the cause of complaint was just or unjust. I regard the killing in a duel as de- liberate murder, so pronounced by the highest authority, human and divine; and to fight a due!, though death might not result, both the sin and the viols- tion of the law have been committed. Wiatever may be the estimation in which the practice of duelling is held by “the code daello,” it is made awn in- famous crime by the Code of North Carolina. The custom he- become obsolete and I think now genevally regarded as both ridiculous and farcical as well as un- lawful, andif [ now grant your request [ should fcel myself to bea moral coward worthy the severe condemna- tion of the law, and the contempt and derision of the good and law abiding citizens. Oceupying the position [ do, as a representative of the people I cannot afford to commit a crime so plainly for- bidden by both the organic and statute laws, nor set such an example of law- lessness. _ aero It will Kill our Schools.

He says: “The Blair bill is monstrim horren- dem, but the Virginia Solons, at Wash- ington and here, support it. Both parties—a plague on both your houses —resolve for it.

The Btair Educational Bill, as well as the Willis Bill, died, among its friends in the House of Representatives this week, and the mourners are now “going about the streets” and capitol building with very few sympathizers. The friends of the“Blair Bill need not mourn, for if the thing had become a law with all its outrageous provisions, a firm and influential demand would have been made on the next Legisla- ture to cut down the school tax to one half its present rate, say to about $250,- 000, so that, with the aid of the Blair fund, the school money in this State would not amount to more than it is now, about $500,000 or $600,000.

Now Ul buy her a barrel of flour and a ham and some other supplies if you'll carry them out to her with your team.” Lovejoy said certainly, he'd be very glad to do it. Accordingly, Uncle Stead bought a birrel of flour, a hain, a bucket of sugar, ete., and telling Lovejoy where the woman lived, sent him off on the errand of charity with the good things in his pung.

FARMERS COME AND SEE melita S lsau tupruved No. 2 IRON MOWER Revarded as the most perfect one ever con- structed, It las many points of excellence to commend it to the American Farmer. Some of which are as follows: Havin: calar_ed wheels it las quite an eaay drart, Vhe weight has been reduced several hundred pounds. A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries the weight of the cutter bar and prevents any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead wheel forms a perfect protection ta the pitman and can be set higher or lower, as may be reqnired in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut ls very desirabte. Another important feature in this Mower is that the cutting apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impozsible. This is a weak point in most mowers, and very often overlooked in purchasing, thongh the defect reveals itself by use. [tc is provided with the same kind of wooden pitman as described particularly in the remarks about the regular IRON MOWER. Itisa Machine that will -tand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most Aiffienlt places in a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give speed to the kuife. 4 rece a ~ be? 78) de “os E/T init a Ze TL St TE 7: Ol ret ng oe OU ALL peagrree AS TT mee et EILE DAISY, A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially for those who own emall farms.

Time, 2 minutes 244 Last Saturday, May Ist, was signal-| seconds ized by a gtand uprising and street pare ade of working men for the purpose of demanding the eight hour rule for work, and in some cases an advance of rates with a reduction of working hours. The city rang with the blair of bands and the tramp of processions carrying red flags and the national bunting. Ten thousand lumbermen were out; 1000 freight handlers; a large number of furniture workers and plan- ning mill hands, etc., etc., all in proces- mions in different parts of the city, holding public meetings, scattering cir- culars and floating banners. Business in some departments was suspended, the factories closed, some only for the day, and others until a settlement can be arrived at. There is one impressive fact in re- trard to the present disturbance among the working people of the northern, eastern, and south-western States, and that is that the discontented are in small proportion to the whole number of working people in the country. The Knights of Labor are estimated at 800,000; whereas, the whole number of Jaborers is estimated at from fifteen to eighteen million. But to limit the view to the territory in which the labor excitement has prevailed, leaves the discontented largely in the minority still. So that, in point of fact, they are not in position to dictate terms to capitalists and employers permanently. They can, (they have,) in many in- stances, produced temporary suspen- sions of business, which embarrass, and even ruin, some of those who have been interfered with; and to this extent the attempted revolution in business affaits is mischievous. It is not tg be expected however, that this state of thimgs will last very long. Counter movements will be inaugurated, and business will find the means of re-es- tablishing itself with or’ without the ageney cf those who make the trouble. Already, we perceive that the non- union laborers of Philadelphia have started an organization of non-union men. It seems to be based on the idea that laborers should be free to accept or reject work withont the dictation of the directors of an Association; and that, relying upon his merits as a work- man in any particular department of trade, a man should be free to go into markets and sell his labor for what it will bring, be it little or much. A first-class workman has nothing to fear under this equitable system, and the poor or indifferent workman, un- boosted by a “union,” will receive all he is justly entitled to. Whether or not this is the initial of a couater movement of the trades unions, Knights of Labor, ete., which will ulti- mately restore an equillabrim to busi- ness affairs in the country; or whether it is to‘come in some other way, re- mains to be seen; but it is quite certain that it will come, and the business world will again move on much as it has done heretofore. The following extract from the New York Enterprise, is at least suggestive of one of the waysin which things may settle down.

To become more practical in theme, the party alluded to, acknowledge with pleasure the politeness of Diya. R. Windsor, the present occupant of the “Heights,” whom, they regret to say, they found suffering severely froma carbuncle, but yet persisted in his kind attentions against remonstrances. Mr. Windsor has spent several years of his life on this valuable part of the estate of the late Peter W. Hairston; and has proved himself a trustworthy tenant. Taking leave of Mr. W. the party turned into a winding, ‘unfrequented way along the banks of the river, at times in field, meadow, wood, and brake, until they reached the railroad bridge, a mile anda half above the ford, where they stopped to see the process of exchanging a wooden for an iron structure. The process is slow; for the bridge must be constantly ready | for the passage of trains, which neces- sitates extra and otherwise unnecessary work. The workmen were busy, and scarcely noticed the approach of visi- tors. They hung like squirrels to the projecting timbers, 25 or 30 feet above the water, putting in bolts, and fitting j wrenching screws and handling beams, with never a thought of fall- ing. And yet it was a place where those who are afraid of things which are high would dread to be, with noth- ing to do but themselves to take care of. It will be some days yet before the new bridge is finished, less than half being now done. ~_-- The Winston Sentinel is to be en- larged to an eight page paper of 48 good reputation as an authorist.

There are hosts of men and women who, to coin a phrase, are only halfalive. That is to say, they have seldom if ever any appetite, are nervous, weak, fidgetty and troubled by numberless small pains and aches. In the presence of vigorous, ex- uberant vitality they seem mere piginies. Such persons are usually fond of treqently dosing themselves, swallowing iu the course of the year enough drugs to stock any apothecary’s shop of everage dimen- sions. This, of course, defeats instead of furthering the end in view, viz., the re- covery of health and vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing seurce of vitality, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, how different would be their case. Then vigor would return to their deliberated frames, the zlow of health to their wan cheeks, their trem- bling uncertain vait would grow firm and clastic, appetite, that grandest of all causes, would give a relish for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the task of the day. 200 Barrels of Lime, JUST RECEIVED AXD FOR SALE —_AT— R.

The horse walking between the rows and the plowmen opening a row on each side. The Rowan farmer is up to snuff. David Barringer, Esq., had the misfor- tune to break a leg one day last week, by a fall. The readers of this paper will re- member that that gentleman had a leg broken about a year ago by a fall from a horse. ‘Roller Fiver Mills. Mr. W. A. Falconer, conducting the flour mills here, thinks this is a favorable location for a large Roller Mill. The lo- cation is favorable, and the wheat neces- sary to keep such a mill going is raised in abundance in Rowan and adjoining counties. To give some idea of the amount raised in these counties, the fig- ures from the last census are quoted: Rowan raises annually 138,278 bushels of wheat; Davidson, 174,671; Davie, 71,127; Stanly, 70,070; Montgomery, 39,702; Ire- dell, 88,056, and Cabarrus, 84,656, making a grand total of 666,560 bushels.

It is with pleasure that the following! items of interest are chronicled from Gold Hill, the largest mine in the State. Since Capt. Wm.

He came under the impression that he would have to make a new mine out of what the com- pany had, and that it would take twelve months labor before sufficient ore could be had for running the 20 stamp mill.

Lawn Tennis has become the popular and fashionable game for ladies and gen- tlemen here. Itisa pleasant and excit- jpg exercise. Yemorial exercises over Confederate dead, will be held at Winston on the 10th of May. All the old sdldiers are invited to be present. Syme of the tobacco factories have be- gun the process known as “rolling,” and a great many more hands find employ- ment at the fuctories. Westberry, a train hand, had his hand crushed here on last Monday, between the cars, while some shifting was being done at the depot. Kluttz & Co., are having additional shelves, drawers, etc., put in their large soreroom. They will keep a still larger stock of goods. Judging from the number of railroad dignitaries seen about town recently, the conclusion is that the railroad interest here is not waning. The straw hat men have become bold again and are exhibiting various new styles. White beavers are also popular here this season—since the rains abated. The pavement immediately in front of Misses Joues’ millinery store on Main street is in a bad condition and should be repaired before some one receives an Miss Jeanette Whitehead, of Virginia, is the guest of Mrs. V. Whitehead. Dr. Paine, Jr., of Lexington, an emi- nent physician and surgeon, spent a day here this week. Miss Mamie McBee, daughter of Col. V. A. McBee, of Lincolnton, is the guest of Col. T. J. Sumner. Col. L. L. Polk, of the Progressive Far- mer, published in Winston, was here on Monday and Tuesday. Col. John Wilkes, proprietor of the Mecklenburg Iron Works Charlotte, N. C., was here on Wednesday. | Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Jones, have re- turned from Washington city. They were presented to the President while there. Hon. Wm. M. Robbins, of Statesville, Gen. J. M. Leach of Lexington and C. P. Watson of Winston, are the prominent lawyers attending Rowan court this week. rr A New Enterprise. Mr. W. A. Falconer has begun the manufacture of a superior baking poder here. He is manufacturing for the whole- sale trade, and will doa large and regu- lar business. He has been engaged for years in Virginia, in this business, and does not start as a novice. His wide reputation in this line and the superior article made will at once establish a trade. He will make an article especial- ly for the Southern trade. $3,000. This estimate of expenses is full, while the other estimates are low. The margin on a large business of this kind is amply sufficient to satisfy the most ex- acting—the income is larger than can be made from any other business employing no more capital. The town needs just such enterprises as this to build it up. There is no reason why two or three such mills should not be built here. It would bring money and trade to the town. Mr. Falconer is an experienced miller and knows from experiece what he is talking about. He will be glad to talk with any one desiring to inaugurate a scheme for building a Roller Mill in Salisbury. It would be a splendid investment. ay Western N.C. R. R. Notes. In view of the whispered changes to take place in the management of this road, a reporter visited Col. V. McBee, Supt., Maj. Erwin, Secretary and Treas- urer, and Mr. W. A. Turk, general freight and passenger agent, at their offices here, on yesterday. These gentlemen were in the best of spirits, and spoke most warm- ly of the future of the road. They say that the Western is now ‘‘the Western N.C. division, of the R. & D. R. R.; that the organization of the road will be kept in tact, and that it will be operated just as the N. C. division of that road is being operated. Under the new lease the strength of the R. & D. system isto be centered in the Western. The track, bridges, trestles, &c., are to be strengthen- at work driving and stoping on the west vein and this will give enough ore to keep 5 stamps at work regularly. This ore is expected to mill five ounces of gold tothe ton. The other 15 stamps will be kept at work on ore from the Randolph shaft and the 600 foot level. Scrap iron has been placed in the water from the discharge at pumps to the mill house, which precipitates the copper, and when the plan has been completed it will render the water from the Randolph shaft as good as any that can be had for amalgamating purposes. Iron is also placed under ground in the sump, and is already coated with precipitated cop- per. Condensers and other improvements are to be added, aud it is expected soon to make a shipment of bullion. This will be a surprise to the London Company, as no returns of bullion were expected under twelve months. ee Marion Bullion Co. The Marion Bullion Company are operating on a splendid fifteen hundred acre tract, adjoining the Vein Mountain Placer mine, in McDowell county. It is a strong Company, having a capital of half a million dollars. Hon. Thos. Edge, of Penn., is president, and Col. H. C. Demming, of Harrisburg, same State, is secretary and general manager. They are not only successful in their placer mining, but are making money. They have more than 20 miles of ditches with a hydraulic capacity of over 6,000,000 gallons of water per day of ten hours. This large work, conducted in a business like way, is telling, as the regular re- The County Commissioners, at their regular meeting, on the first Monday in May, ordered that the Justices of the Peace be notified to meet at the court in June, next, at 12 oclock, for the -pur- pose of electing a County Superintendent of Public Instruction; a Board of Com- missioners for Rowan county; to levy taxes for the vear 1886, and for such other business as may come before them. Some $60 was appropriated to the poor from the fund set aside for that pur- pose. Dr’s. Summcrell and Whitehead were paid for treating Bill Blackmer’s pistol shot wounds and for compound fracture of thigh bone. (He is the incendiary, wounded by the town police some time since.) The keeper of the poor reported «sn average of 21 paupers in his keeping for the month of April—9 whites and 12 nc- groes. Amount expended for maintain- ance was $40.83. W.S. Shulenbarger, J. F. Carrigan, C. A. Sloop, John C. Menius and J. Sam’l. McCubbins were appointed stream com- missioners. They are to confine their operations to Thompson’s Mill Creek, and its tributaries, between the bridge on the Lincolnton road, near McCubbin’s mill. Jacob A.

Postmaster Boyden showed the report- tr novel bee boxes, a few days since. lightning on last Friday evening during the storm. The house was a small dwel- ling. The chimney was broken down and one end of the house was torn to pieces. It will cost a hundred or more dollars to repair the damage. Another dwelling house adjoining was also struck, but with less damage. A dog was killed which was under John Pence’s house across the street. Several women were knocked down in the neighborhood, but no one was hurt. The Brooklyn side of Salisbury must have excitement. ee ee Salisbury Banks. The First National Bank is in a flour- ishing condition. The increase of depos- its have been rapid. Starting two and a half years ago their deposits have grown until now they aggregate more than $100,000 The stock of this bank is worth about $1.12, and is paying regular dividends. The private bank of Davis & Wiley is also doing a large and prosperous busi- ness. They are dving all that their capi- tal can carry. This isan encouraging condition for our banks, and is indicative of the general financial pulse in Salis- bury. ee To Be Hung.

They have recently discovered a large and apparéntly inexhaustible mass of true emery, i.e. corundum blended in proper proportion with oxide of iron. This emery is said to be of superior quali- ty, and in such abundance as to justify the erection of works to prepare it for market. ‘The Company have determined to build works fur this purpose at an early day. Recently attention has been given to the crystrals often found there. Mr. Demming has been successful in his re- searches in this direction, finding some rare and beautiful gems, some of which have not yet been determined. He has found one small diamond of good color, and very brilliant. He has also found a ruby of rare depth of color and the re- quired purity for gems. Several deep, clear emeralds have been found, while the paler tints of beryl are abundant. He has enough of this mineral to cut 500 gems. ‘They are pale sea green and light sky blue, and are exceedingly brilliant. They are the aquamarines of the jewel- ers. Probably the most striking speci- mens in his collection are a trio of very large and beautifully cut stones. The first isa nearly pure white tapaz, very lovely in its wealth of light; the second is a moonstone, or perhaps better known as ‘‘citrine’’ topaz, has a rich golden yel- low color; the third is a smoky amethyst, or what the Scotch call ‘Cairngorm,’ of a rich chocolate brown color and per- fectly transparent. These gems approach the size of a silver half dollar in circum- ference, and will weigh from 70 to 100 carats. Se Mr. A. B.

A’ man looks foolish of an evening doing nothing. Yet he is too tired to do much. A cigar supplies the amount of labor he requires, and he does not mind the trouble of smoking it so long as it enables him to stay at home without loss of dignity and look over it admiringly, and yet umdenon- stratively, at his wife. Should a man with a small income be an epicure, or naturally of an irascible temper, it will add greatly to the happiness of his home if he compels himself to smoke. And at present, when times are so hard as to affect every one more or less, a cigar isa cheap and excellent substi- tute for expensive amusements. a A Little Spring Lie.

At the semi-centennial celebration of the city of Lowell, one of the speakers related some of the school punishments | f olden times. One of these punish- ents was to require unruly boys to seize a long iron staple fastened to the ceiling, and hang upon it with no other support; another to hold out heavy books horizontally; another to stoop down, and with a tinger to hdid downa nail to the tloor; another to have elothes-pins pot astride the nose; ano- ther to sit on pointed sticks. One: twelve of those stools of penitence, and would freqaently have them all filled with boys, who were compelled in a sitting posture to balance themselves upon. the sharp ends of these sticks, which were coneshaped and about one foot high. This was in the good old times. . —_—— i oO oe The Deevil a Hielanman. Donald, a staunch Highlander, was at a festive meeting, where in a gush- ing speech a clergyman pro osed the toast, “The Gelic Language.” Donald! during the speech ‘looked sullen and | slunk to the floor at the end of it. A friend who was present and noticed this met him the next day and said: “I would have thought that a Highlander, and such a true one as you, Donald, would have been proud of what the minister said. Didn't he butter you up enough about the Gelic language?” “On ay, he said a deal mair than he need hae dune. Didna he say that Adam and Eve spoke Gelic and that Gelic was the langage spoken in Paradise?” “Yes; but that should not} worry you. That was to prove how ancient it was.” “Ay, but that’s just what gars me be sae vexed, for if Adam and Eve spoke Galic in Paradise, the deevil, dae you no see, must hae been a Hielanman ?” oa OO Trecs. The remedy for this injurious insect is so simple and easy of application that it is a wonder it is allowed to disfigure | our orchards, frustrate the hopes of the | horticulturist, and cause the loss of la-| bor for years expended in rearing the tree. With the use of a ladder, by reached, and a strong glove to protect the hand, the nest, if visited early in the morning or late in the evening, may be torn off, thrown to the ground and the caterpillars destroyed. ~ Ano-! ther method is to use a long pole with cloth attached to one end; this is twisted in the web, which adhering is torn away with its dwellers. Some re- commend dipping the cloth occasion- ally in strong soap suds or whitewash. which kills every caterpillar that it touches. SOOO June Would be a Good Time ‘From the Washington Critic. | | “Daniel,” remarked the President to his private secretary, as a tender hight shone in his eyes. “Yes, sir,” responded Daniel. “Doesn't all the world lovea lover?” “It is so stated by poets.” “And June is the month when lov- ers’ hearts catch up the fragrance of it, Daniel 7” “Yes, sir.” “And happy lovers wed in June, don’t they Daniel Yes, sir.” “And what is so rare asa day in June, Daniel?” “A Republican wanting to give up office, sir.” “Don’t talk politics, please.

Daniel, with the old, glad smile on your face, the tender music in your voice, the sweet wishes on your lips?” “Yes, sir. Why do you ask?” = “Merely for information, Daniel.” And the President dived into a sea of papers, and the waves of business roll- ed silently on. A Composition on Christopher Columbus. From the London Standard. | The following story comes from a school in the midlands: ‘The master told the boys of the third class to write a short essay on Columbus. The fol- lowing was sent up by an ambitious essayist: “Columbus was a man who could make an egg stand on end with- out breaking i# The King of Spain said to Columbus, ‘Can you discover America?’ ‘Yes,’ said Columbus, ‘if you will give me aship:’ So he had a ship and sailed over the sea in the di-| rection where he thought America| ought to be found.

When the ship pot near the land it was full of black men. Columbus ssid: ‘Is this America?’] "Yes, it is, said they. Then he said: ‘L suppose you are the nigyers?’ ‘Yes,’ they said, ‘we are.

Confession of a fault makes half amends. Denying a fanlt doubles it. Envy shooteth at others and woun- | deth herself. Foolish fear doubles danger. God reaches us good things by our hands He has hard ease who has nothing to do. It costs more to revenge wrongs than to bear them. Knavery is the worst trade. Learning makes a man fit company for himself. Modesty is a guard to virtue, Not to hear conscience is the way to silence it. One hour to day is worth two to- morrow. Proud Jooks make foul work in fair faces. . Qnict conscience gives quiet sleep. Richest is he that wants least. Smull faults indulged are little thiev- es that let in greater. The boughs that bear most hang lowest. Upright walking is sure walking. Virtue and happiness are mother and daughter. . Wise men make more opportunities | than they find. You never loose by doing a good turn. Zeal without knowledge is fire with- out light. : eee The true secret of being happy hes in making others happy. Aspirations are worthless, unless followed by realizations. True greatness is greatness of heart and purpose. A good laugh is sunshine in the house. A woman without a laugh in her is the greatest bore in existence. Politeness is virtue, for it is nothing | than a form of self-denial. less An ill-fitting coat is not a mark of genius, but simply a sign that you do not employ a good tailor. In writing as well as speaking, one creat secret of effective eloquence is to say what is proper and stop when you have done. —— ——_ -<>- —_-———_ A home-ruler—the broomstick.

If the money could be furnished without taxing other interests a cent, the reprehensible character of the bill would be but slightly lessened.

ADAMS, Victoria | Mull, Nainsvok, | | To Jefferson Davis. PRESIDENT OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY, From the mountains and the valleys, From the cities by the sea, The eager crowd are gathering In haste to welcome thee. The bugle call is sounding For the onward march to-day, And they gather, gather, gather, Like the foeman to the fray. They come with flaunting banners, But no blood-red cross is there, Only the snow white lillies Of peace—aud wondrous fair. Then look on those who love thee, Who gather round thee now, And read aright the written line kmblazoned on each brow. Look! and thy heart grows strong And proud—for thine eyes can see No traitur in the sericd ranks, They're one—and one with thee. No need to tell the story, For all have learned it well, With loving hearts they silent wait, Thy voice to break the spell. Then speak of strife that’s ended, Of the parted who are one, Of the peace which comes with morning And sets not with the sun. And speak of precious mem'ries, The glory of our braves, For they shall live, they shall not die— Such mem ries have no graves. Up to the sky above us, Up to the nearest star, Would we raise our lofty spire To the Heroes of our war. Montgomery Advertiser. > Ee > time Leonainie.

Ihave followed with much interes’ the progress of the local option move- ment in your town, and knowing that many of the best people in the commu- nity are in full sympathy with you, I have waited, hoping that some one who wields an abler pen than mine would commend the fairness, modera- tion and ability you have displayed in your opposition to the invasion of con- stitutional liberty and individual rights, as well as your manly defence of the Christian men and women who are set outside the pale of mercy because, forsooth, they do not agree with pro- hibitionists as to the best means of banishing intemperance from our i:nd. Your sympathizers have remained silent, probably because they find you equal to the emergency. I, an earnest advocate of temperance, a Democrat yearning for the salvation of the party, a Presbyte- rian of the straitest sect, ask space in your columns for a few reflections. ~ In watching the movement I have been filled with shame and sorrow to see our Southern Church lowering her standard and descending into the arena of politics—a Churclr which heretofore has not “soiled her garments,” but standang firm and fearless in her pun- ty and integrity has held herself aloof from all political organizations. Now some of her pulpits are turned into electioneering stands. Now, pitiful sight! we see congregations returning from the holy place, not with hearts cheered and strengthened by precious gospel truths and promises, vou waits hearts filled with excite ue. to i probable effect of the day’s discourse upon the next election, “cow s- the gold become dim! How is the most fin: gold changed!” Another objectionable feature in this movement is the part taken by the ladies. Is the day coming when we shall see our Southern women vieirg with their Northern sisters in clamoring for *wo- man'srights’? (od forbid! Yet things seem tending that way. In justifica- tion of their actiye participation in this movement it is argued that they are the greatest sufferers from intem- rance. Granted. But are they us- ing the most effectual means for their own relief? In all kindness I would ask them if there is no better way of advancing the cause of temperance than by canvassing town and county with petitions and pledges, and denoun- cing as intemperate and un-Christian those who do not view matters from their standpoint? Are not these pledges often signed only to be broken, except is ithose whose Church vows should be a isufficient safeguard without any addi- tional restrain? And just here, Mr. Editor, let me remark that it has al- ways seemed to me one of the saddest commentaries upon the sacredness of Church vows that Christian men and women are called upon to sign temper- ance pledges. Iam familiar with the argument that they sign for example’s sake. But should not the fact of Church-mem bership be a sufficient guar- antee to the world for temperance in all things? I may be old-fashioned, yet it seems to me that a godly walk and conversation would exert a more pow-— erful influence than the signing of ten thousand pledges. Do not understand me as objecting to temperance pledges if it can be proved that they accomplish any good whatsoever. I am only con- tending for the supremacy of Church vows. We all know that women are said to be responsible for the prevalence of in- temperance. I neither affirm nor deny this statement, but simply refer to the fact that we (may I not say daily?) seé mothers smiling approval while daughters plight their troth to men well known to be fond of a social glass. Iam not a prohibitionist, therefore [ do not call in question their right to do this; but may not these periodical up- heavals of society, these constant de- mands upon our sympathy for broken- hearted wives, be attributed, in part at least, to this fact? “Oh! consistency, thou art a jewel.” I will encroach no further upon your valuable space, but allow me to say in conclusion that it is refreshing, in these days of time-serving and pandering to public sentiment, to find aman who, in spite of taunts hurled at him by news- | papers and neighbors, has the manli- | ness and moral courage to stand up boldly for what he believes to be the best interests of his people. May suc- cess crown your efforts. Yours truly, PRESBYTERIAN. Riot and Bloodshed. May dth was a dreadful day in Mil- waukie, Wis., and Chicago. prevailed in both cities, growing out of the labor strikers. There is a very strong communistic party in these cities, composed almost exclusively of foreigners, and they, it seems were the authors of the disturbances. A num- b-r of persons—police officers and rioi- ers—were killed, and many wound- ed. The following report reads like grin - visaged war had been inaugurated again. Milwaukee, Wis., May 5, 2 p. m.— The report that two men were killed at the Best Brewery, is found to be un- true. Several shots were fired, but no person was killed. Three men were killed at Bay View, and five or six wounded. Every one of these bears a Polish or Bohemian name. One boy 14, alsoa Pole, was badly wounded. The report about the boy with school books under his arm being killed is not confirmed. The firing of the militia resulted in dispersing the mob ina greater part. ‘lhe rioters, or those of the Polish nationality, at least return- | ed tothe South side of the city and proceeding to sack the residence of Capt. Borchardt of the Kosciusko Guard, yesterday, the firing having been done by that company. ‘The residence isa complete wreck. The infuriated Polanders then assembled near the Polish church, and it is rumored that that they decided to arm themselves and make another raid on the militia, but up to this hour they had not done so. Chicago.—The police are rapidly col- lecting evidence against the chief con- spirators among the anarchists. They searched Spies ottice this morning and found absolute proof that the in- flammatory circulars nentioned in these dispatches, and headed, “Revenge! working men to arms!” and another headed“ Attention Workingmen!” were found with the form in type. These were taken possession of and locked up in the Central station as evidence that Spies and Schwad directly incited the riot and bloodshed. The anarchist, Par- son, has not been captured as first re- ported. He is still hiding. Editor Sehwab was mistaken for him when the first arrests were made at the office of the Arbieter Zeitung. Inspector Bonfield raided Zeipfs Hall, corner of Lake and Desplaines streets, this morn- ing. Here were found a lot of musk- ets, red flags and German books ex- pounding socialistic doctrines. Nearly $10,000 has already been subscribed in change for the families of the wound- ed and dead officers. Shortly after noon the police made another raid on the office of the Arbeiter Zeitung. They arrested a man in the office, who, upon being searched, produced a large revolver and dirk knife. He was placed under arrest. In the office was discoy- ered several boxes of dynamite, anda number of flags and incendiary banners. They were all seized. Mayor Harrison with several detectives visited the Arbei- ter Zeitung office today, and held acon- sultation with Oscar Neibe, who said he did not belong to the office, but was employed to get out the paper. The Mayor told him that the paper would not be issued until inspected by Mr Hand, whom he would send for that purpose. Neibe promised that nothing of an inflammatory nature should ap- pear in the paper. Before the paper was Mobs | issued, however, anofher raid was made on the printing effiée and twenty-five pater were arrested and arraigned be- ore Justice Merchand, charged with murder, Their cases were continued un 14. Bail was refused.. The dynamite found in the Arbeiter Zeitung office was tuken to the Lake front and ex- ploded, ‘The effect was terrible. A piece about the size of a her's egg was placed in a coupling link mg exploded. The heavy iron was scuttered into fine its. A mob of six to eight thousand per- sons reassembled sear the corner of til May 18th street and Center avenue, at noon | and raided the Rosenfield drug store | mentioned in early dispatches, carry- ing off everything portable in the store. They then raided the liquor store in the vicinity, kept by aman named Wesiskopf, carrying away or drinking ail tue uquor. Women and children joined in this raid. The police return- ed to the scene and succeeded in dis- persing the mob. The strikers at the Deering reaper works held an open air meeting on the prarie, near the factory, at 10 o'clock. They demand eight hours work and ten hours pay, double pay for over time and 20 per cent. advance for piece work. It is learned that Schwab, one of the men now under arrest, addressed these strikers last night, urging them to this course. The striking freight handlers had intended making a parade today, but have issued orders countermanding it. They also adopted resolutions condemning the anarchists and tendering their services, if needed, to preserve the public peace. | ‘The sheriff has not yet been called upon, but the militia are in their ar- mories, ready to turn out at moment's | notice. Between 3000 and 4000 police have been armed with Springtield rifles, | )and every man on the force is armed | with 44 calibre revolvers. Three thou- sand men employed in the great car | shops at Pullman laid down their tools | ,and went out this morning, joining 1,000 who quit yesterday. ‘There are /no men working in town today, ex- cept the men employed in the truck /shops who do not number over 500. | Chieago, May 5.—The Arbeiter Zei- | tung, a German paper, edited by Speis, | ; a socialist, who wus one of the speak- | ‘ers wi incited yesterday's riot at Me- Cormick’s says: “Worsinginen! The hated police yes- | terday murdered tour of your brothers, and wounded perhaps twenty-tive more hat McCormick's factory. Had your; ; brothers, who had nothing but stoues to defend themselves with, been armed | with good weapons and afew dynamite bombs none of the murderers would have escaped his well deserved fate. | As it was, only four of them (police- men) were wounded. That is. sad. Yesterday's massacre occurred that 40,000 strikers in this city might be | filled with terror, and that the dissatis- | fied and rebellious laborers might be | driven back under the yoke of slavery. | Will this end be accomplished? Has not | a miscalculation been made? The next few days will answer this question. | We will not speculate on the course of events.” The paper then goes on to give a de- tailed report of the trouble, and puts Speis | | | | | the responsibility on the police. jalso says that some Bohemians and | Poles in the background of the crowd jhe was addressing raised a cry of “On to Me-Cormick’s!” The paper also says | that the police used their clubs in dis- jpersing the strikers yesterday, and l adds: “In whose veins does not the blood course faster when he hears of! [the shameful- acts of these beasts? | Whoever is aman must show it these ‘days. Men, to the front!” a The School Tax Would Increase. As near as can be ascertained North Carolina's proportion (underthe Blair bill) for the first year about $550,000 ifor the second year $780,000 and for the third year the enormous sum of $1,- 170,000. But, be it remembered, to secure this she must supplement it by an equal number of dollars. Now as the amount raised for educational pur- poses in this State in 1885 was only $564,071.70, it follows that although there will be a surplus of about $14,- 000 for the first year, the second year will show a deficiency of over $200,000, and the third vear a deticiency of over $700,000. Now where is the 900,000 to come from? We can see no source from which it may be expected except from the taxpayers of the State, who ure already heavily enough burdened.— Gastonia Gazette. ~ Diplomatic Relations Cease. The refusal of the Austrian Govern- ment to receive Hon. A. M. Keiley as United States Minister at its court has been more far-reaching than those who concocted the conspiracy against that gifted gentleman had any idea of. Ba- ron Ignatz Schaeffer, the Austrian Minister accredited to Washington, has been on a vacation for a long time, and now it is feared he will not return, as his household effects are to be sold at auction. It is also said that Secre- tary Bayard will not recommend the appointment of a Minister to Vienna, and so all diplomatic relations between Austria and the United States will cease. This is not specially the irony of fate, but rather righteous retribution.— Richmund State, Dem. iplanted corn is then ready to supply silk, and the filling is completed. | He ‘common in all corn crops, are caused iby the want of MAY 13, 1886.

An exchange tells of a man who plants two or three weeks after the crop is planted, a new hill of corn every fifteenth row each way. And this is the reason: If the weather becomes dry after the filling time, the silk and tassels both become dry and dead. In this condition, if it should become sea- sonable, the silk revives its growth, but the tassels do not recover. Then, for the want of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill the ottice for which it was designed. ‘T'he pollen from the re- says nearly all the abortive ears, so ollen, and he has known ears to double their size in this filling.

It has many points of excellence to commend it to the American Farmer. Some of which are as follows: Having enlarced wheels it has guite an easy draft. The weight has been reduced several hundred pounds. A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries the weight of the cutter bar and prevents | any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead wheel forms a perfect protection to the pitman and’ can be set higher or lower, as may be required in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut is very desirable, Another important feature in this Mower is that the cuttiny apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impozsible, This is a weak point in most mowers, and very often) overlooked in purchasing, though the defect reveals itself by use. It is provided with the same kind of wooden pitman as described particularly in the remarks about the recular IRON MOWER. It is a Machine that will stand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most diticult places in’ a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give speed to the knife, Titk DAISY, A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially for those who own small farms.

No party candi- date antagonistic to its interests will aan a : : At Last. The law suit pending for 4 number of years between Blackwell and J. H. McElwee, ahout the use of the Bull trade mark, and Durham Smoking Tobacco, has at last been decided against Mr. McElwee, restraining him from the use of the Bull, or other symbols con- stituting the trade mark of the Dur- ham Smoking Tobacco. Right or wrong in the above case, Mr. McElwee is an industrious, enter- prising man and deserves to succeed in his chosen line of manufacturing Smok- ing tobacco. oy ee: There is a question of boundary be- tween South and North Carolina which be supported. Candidates to receive its support must first take an oath to rotect its interests agaunst all others. But the strangest part of the pro- gramme of this new movement is, tha »no dishonorable person or one of im- moral character or owner of a house of il-fame can become a member.” This last is evidently mere bunkum. Not one mun in ten thousand will be refused admittance unless he should re- fuse to pay the fees and assessments. It is intimated that the opposition of the Knights of Labor to the liquor in- terests provoked this counter movement, and that the organization will be as compact and solid as that of the Knights and backed up by about a half man dollars. —— See __ Republican Yarns.

But the general rule is to put on style and pile up rates, and thus limit healing waters eee aetna Those who wish some good reading should get hold of a pamphlet contain-— ing “Facts and Figures showing that the Sonth does not need. Federal Aid for her Schools.” It is the repub-| lication of articles which have appeared | in the New York Evening Post, during | January. February and March of this year. It isa book of only 2) pages, but they are interesting and conclusive arguments against the Blair infamy. The South does not need the aid pro- posed by the Blair bill, nor is-it able to accept it, since to meet the conditions of acceptance, the school taxes of the South would have to be increased to meet the increased rates required of the States drawing from this fund. But this is one of the smallest objections to | thescheme. It must be opposed on broad- er grounds —constitutionality, Invasion of States rights,and a disturbing element among the now peaceful races. The Wilmington Star in speaking on this subject says: The Blair bill has been so thoroughly discussed that the whole ground has been well covered. But as the bill is still pending and will come up before the tlouse tor discussion it is well enough to refer to it now and then lest its detects and violations be lost sight of. There is nothing for truth to fear ina full discus- sion. Right is right and truth is truth, and in that end boih will prevail. Let the people—who are always to be trusted in our Govyernment—have the light and they will arrive finally at the right con- clusions. ‘Chey sometimes decide wrong- ly in the beginning, but after thorough discussion and they have learnen all of the bearings of a question, they are al- most certain to determine wisely at last. It may take a year or years to enlighten but in the end truth prevails. The plea upou which the bill is founded is not correct—that education always makes men wiser, better, purer,—that Without education no man can be a good citizen or vote wisely. This is not true as all men of observation know. There ito the few heavy pursed people. ee ee Messrs.

The negro woman, Mary Morgan, who was supposed to be guilty of infanticide, was arraigned last week, and went to jail for six months for concealing the birth of achild. The Coroner found the hidden babe on last Sunday, in a hollow log near Grants’ creek. An inquest and post mor- tem examination were held resulting in the verdict that the child wgs smothered or otherwise killed by the mother. The woman will be indicted for murder. Bill Thrash, the crazy negro and incen- diary, was before the court, but the doc tors and others testified to his insanity, which released him from trial for his crimes against the community. He was ordered to the Negro Insane Asylum. Harrison Jones, the accomplice, implicat- ed by Crazy Bill's testimony, was also re- leased. The house burning case as it was called, occupicd much of the time of the court. It was Tobias Lyerly prosecuting John Lewis Holtshouser for burning his barn, house, ete. The testimony was wholly circumstantial and there were gaps in the “chain”? which it was impossible to fill with facts or even reasonable conjecture. The jury composed of good, intelligent men, had their minds made up as to Holtshouser’s innocence at the conclu- Notwithstanding, Messrs sion of the evidence. some big speeches were made. Overman, Clement, Klutiz, Price and Watson were the speakers. Some of the Lingle boys were nicknamed in fanciful appellations which will not be forgotten soon.

That ig to say, they bave seldom if ever any appetite, are nervous, weak, fidgetty and {troubled by numberless small pains and aches. Inthe presence of vigorous, ¢Xx- uberant vitality they seem mere pigunies. Such persons are usually fond of treqently dosing themselves, swallowing in_ the course of the year enouzh drugs to stock any apothecary’s shop of everage dimen sions. This, of course, defeats instead .of furthering the end in view, viz., the re- covery of health and vigor. Were they to seek it from an unfailing source of vitality, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, how different would be their case. Then vigor would return to their deliberated frames, the glow of health to their wan checks, their trem- bling uncertain ait would grow fiim and elastic, appetite, that grandest of all causes, would give a relish for the daily food, were it ever so coarse, and refreshing sleep would crown the task of the day. > > + ae LIST OF LETTERS.

Bowers from his fotla mine, three miles from town. This specimen, which is display- ed inashow case on the counters of Messrs Porter & Smith, is a remarkably fine one, I have seen specimens much larger in surface area, but this one isa well defined crystal, having four of the aces of the hexagon perfect, though not exactly equal. The other two faces are partially developed. The crystal isabout 14 inches in diameter, and weighs one hundred and four pounds. It is unusually free from flaw or cross crack, has remark- ably regular cleavage, is firm and free from stain, and very clear. The plates as cleaved off will, most of them. trim 8x10 without crack or stain. This is, perhaps, the most perfeet Mica crystal of its size, yet found in the State.” Woodleaf Items.

It makes agreat difference in your comfort and prosperity whether you spend 95 per cent, or 100 per cent. of it, but it is a positive insult to the dollar to spend 105 per cent. of it. You will be sorry enough for it when the dollars get a fair grip upon you. A dollar resents a mortgage upon itself. It will never serve you cheerfully if you dis- pose of it before you get it. i eed Raspberry Suckers. Both red and black raspberries are inclined to grow too many canes, and will bear better if part are removed. The side shoots of red raspberries may be used for new plantations, but with the black caps new plants are better derived from roots which form the tips inserted in the grass ground the pre- vious season. am ee The pea crop will grow better in the shade than any other grain, and many farmers are learning that it is just what is needed to.sow in their apple orchard. Let pigs harvest the crop, and with this and fallen apples a large amount of the very best pork may be fattened before cold weather. rn eee Minister's wife (looking over the pa- per): “You are referred to in_ this morning's paper, my dear, as a ‘distin- ruished clergyman.’”’ Minister: “H'm. f ttrenen that my sermon yesterday would attract attention. Is it published in full, or only a synopsis given?” Wife: “Neither. You are spoken of zs a ‘distinguished clergyman’ in connec- tion with that patent medicine testi- monial you sent Dr. Quack.” It was a Chicago lawyer who, in his capacity of justice of the peace, was called upon to marry a couple in haste. Absent-mindedly he began with the groom: “You do solemnly swear that ties devolving upon you as husband of this woman, during your term of of- tice, and’ until your successor shall be chosen and qualified in your stead.’ Then he remembered himself and began again, after the manner appropriate to the occasion. The Alps are pierced by three re- markably long tunnels, entering [taly from France, Switzerland, and the Aus- trian Tyrol. They are the Mont Cenis, 72 miles long; the St. Gothard,Y} miles Jong; and the Arlberg tunnel, only 64 miles long. The projected Simplon tunnel, by which the railroad from Geneva to Martigni will be carried through the mountains to Dumo d'Ossola, will be 124 miles long; and the estimated cost $20,000,000. A Maine lady being advised to take an ocean voyage for her health, hired staterooms for herself and m-ud on one of the steamers which ply between Portland and Boston, took along all the necessary conveniences and many lux- uries, and made 40 trips without quit- ting the vessel. She was much bene- fitted by the voyage. The Washinton Star says that it is fortunate for society that the 8-hour movement has not extended to all fields of labor. If the physicians, for exam- ple, should limit their activities by a set rule, it would be hard on the people who fall sick at unseasonable houes As for the journalists, if they were to cease their practice of working all the time when they were not asleep, no one of the various eight hour combinations would find out what the others were doing. The word salary comes from the Latin salarium, literally salt money, from sal, salt, which was part of the pay of Roman soldiers. This will robably explain why certain young lies regard young men who receive meagre salaries as being entirely “too fresh.” The WATCHMAN is devoted to the best interests of the people of North Carolina; to the development of the State’s indus- trial resources; to her farms, her forests, her minerals and her water-powers.

It is said that the spray of the great Yellowstone falls in the National Park built up at its foot a mountain of ice, scarcely yet affected by the spring warmth, and almost as high as the fall itself, which in midwinter was mag- nificent in form and color. If President CLEVELAND only had time to put in one solid week's reading in the various daily and weekly Demo- cratic journals in the United States, he would, perhaps, be surprised to ascertain how few of them are fond of his civil service nations or patient with the ad- ministration’s delay in giving the offi- ces to the Democrats.

On the train that bore Mr. Davis and his party from Montgomery to Atlanta, a let- ter was hamled to Mr. Davis, which he read long und earnestly. Handing it to Mayor Hil- | yer. he said: “This is from Paul Hayne. It is a grand and heroic poem.” Mayor Hilyer then read as follows: The sounds of the tumult have ceased to ring. And the battle’s sun has set, And here in peace of the new-born spring, We would fain forgive and forget. And the scars of a wrong unshriven, Forget the torture that thrilled to tears The angel's calm in heaven.. Forgive and forget? Yes; be it so, From the hills to the broad sea waves; But mournful and low are the wiuds that blow, Dy the slopes of a thousand graves. We may scourge from the spirit all thought of ill In the midnight of grief held fast; And yet, U brothers be loyal still ‘Yo ihe sacred and stainless past!

News Observer. _ The river and harbor bill which was in the old days regarded by the demo- cratic leaders as unconstitutional legis- lation, even when the appropriations were limited to works of general impor- tance to commerce, is now made to em- brace every little creek in the coun- try, and the House has just passed by a log-rolling scheme a tremendous bill appropriating about fifteen miilions of dollars for these purposes. It is supposed that in the Senate the amount of the bill will be increased to twenty mil- lions. We hope in any event that President Cleveland will veto it. As bad as that legislation 1s, it pales into nuserable insignificance before the abominable scheme to increase the pen- sions. The last time the pensions were tucreased, Senators and Represenatives deciared that the additioual cost would not amount to $46,000,000. The ad- ditional cost will as a matter of fact approximate $46,000,000. Now asim- ilac statement is made that the addi- tional cost of again opening the flood- gites will be a paltry $36,000,000, whereas the actual cost will doubtless be nearer $360,000.00. Southern representatives heretofore have eitier voted for these peusions or have reuuned quet and allowed the northern representatives to deal with tne subject at their ple:sure. No great- (Fr iistake could haye been made. The purpose ius been to gain the northern suldier vote. For our part we do not want votes that we have to buy. If northern svidiers put up their poiiticai induence to the hizhest Indder, we do uvt Want to be ove of the bidders. But we velieve this saggestion Is a foul slan- der on the northern’ soldiers. They we not offering themselves for a peice. Again southern representatives may have abdicated ther functions in the allged interest of national harmony. We cannot concur in that view either. Our representatives should vote according to right and justice. Bat what we wish to say is that, not- withstanding that the apparent purpose of the Northern leaders 1s to flatter the the soldier element, the real in- tent is far more “reaching.” [t is im pursuance of the dictates of a high statesmanusiup. It ts to rivet upon us more strongly still THE NORTHERN SYS TEM; it is to mike the e omquered Suuth ey stub idore uibate to bile Nortu. Li is tu fasten apon the non-nmanufactur- ing South a yet heavier mortgage te Northern people. Every dollar raised by the tariff im- poses upon the non-manufacturing south at least two dollars of mortgage tax to the manufacturing North. The soldiers have already received as pen- sions $750, 00,00. Of this the South has pia its share, about $250,000,000 directly to the government, and in ad- dition has paid $500,000,000 to the Northern in.nufacturers. Lu the next decade, without any ad- ditional legislation, the same figures will be repeated. The Northern states- manship which aims to keep the South in a state of perpetual mort3uge to the Northern manufacturers and Northern soldiers is too patent to admit of any question. Souhern statesmanship ou the other hand requires that our re- presentatives shall resist to tne utmost every attempt to place upon the necks of our people any greater burden. >> North Carolina. A.K. McClure, Ed. Philadelphia Times. North Carolina is now single from the other reconstructed States in hav- ing attained, solely .by the efforts of ner own people, a higher deszree of general prosperity than was ever before atbalned an her lustory. She hus a more prosperofis and thrifty people to- day than at any period of the past, and there is more capital employed and le.s debt, State and individu U than at any time in the last bait century. lexas has surpassed the old North State be- eause of her large influx of immigra- tion and wealth; but North Carolina has fewer foreigners and a more com- pletely homogenous population than other State of the Union. Since the rescue of the State from the tempest of Woda gary Tae swept over it after thi cur, taxes steadily dimuaished, and tee sehoow have tnereased until they prof fer education to every child in the commonwealth, regardless of — coto.. Her legitimate debt is steadily reduced: jer treasury has a large surplus; ber inane institutions, conducted with ‘qad care and outlay for both races re monuments of credit; her puble improvements have kept pace with the growing wants of her people; her au- thority reflects the pride of the State in its stainless integrity, and thnft and content are the common blessings of her people. For this exceptional record there are many able and true men to whom North Carolina is indebted; but it is no injustice to any to say that to no one is she so much indebted as to Thomas J. Jarvis, the late Governor. His term of six years, ended only by the mandate of the constitution, has brought the State to the largest measure of pros- perity ever known in all her past, and there is not a son of North Carolina who dogs not share in the g>neral pride of more than rehabilated com- monwealth. When it is considered that North Carolina has every import- public than that her voice should be roughened or forced, ant mineral within her borders, from gold to iron; that she haa every variety of soit for every variety of crops, from wheat to cotton; that she has every va- riety of climate, from the sunny south- ern coast to the chills of the highest peak of the Appalachian range; that she has water-power enough in a single river to spin and weave the whole cot- ton of the South, and tuat her lands are nearly as cheap and her climate better than the West—when these facts are weighed in the scale of intelligence, the momentous meaning of a New South, with sectional tranquility as- sured, may it be understood in the North as it is now understood in the Carolinas. —_—— ———-- e And Thus is Valor Won. (From St. Paul’s Pioneer. Press.) A billowy sea of grass, msing and falling like the waves of the sea, sway- ed by the wind. A great yellow ball of fire above, and beneath nothing but the prairie. Hast, west, north and south, naught but this great level plain. From the east blows a soft wind, car- rying with it the echoes of horses’ hoofs. Thr e troopers ride into sight —bronzed, vearded fellows, in dusty uniforms, on which the golden buttons shine out like stars. They chat merri- ly as their horses plod along, talking on this and that, with littie care for aight around them. The corporal, forgetful of his rank, twits his private comrade on the girl weft far away at home. ‘The latter Hushes under the bronze of his face, but makes no reply. ‘The second pri- vate hums a bar ot “Bonnie Doon,” at which the other two luugh, and the corporal retorts with the line, “We're Phree Jolly Good Feliows.” The men’s voices sound tinely on the sumer air, and the jaded steeds quicken their slow pace under such cheering influences. A rabbit goes scurrying across their path, prairie hens rise in angry wrath, vreat shining whipsnakes cross and re- ross their truil—but they have no eyes for such as these. ‘The sunshine, the veauty of the scene, the shy caress of the wind, have intoxicated them, and, except a song or two, or a word ot nome, they say nothing. Suddenly the horses start forward with a nervous plunge, then fall back on their haunches in terror, To the right and the left of tue troopers encir- pag all around them, rise a score ot ideous, pated savaze faces. They cise from the sereen of the lone dirk srass like demons exorcised from the grave. Not a word is said on either side for an instant, then the lone drawn. chilling wirhoop rings out from ewenty throats. At tne sound the cor. poral, man to the last, grasps his sabre, with a yell, charges the devils ahead of him. His comrades are by lis side. cracks of pistols, death gurgles and low groans comumungle, and then all is sul, ‘bree riderless horses g:llop away to the west. ‘Ihe saddle of one is drench- ed with blood. Hidden by the whis- pering treacherous grasses, three forms clad in blue lie with faces turned up to the sky. The corporal’s face is distort- ed with wrath; the private whose blush came so quickly hes as if asleep, an ar- row in his breast. He who sang “Bonny Doon” was slashed througn and through, an ugly corpse. The wind murmured as sweetly — to them as it had half an hour before; the sun was just as bright, the air as fresh; but they were beyond it all. Twenty red devils, with hand~ drenched in blood, crept swiftly away like snakes, leaving no trace behind but their work. Three coll, stiff faces saw night come on, welcomed the stars and greeted the sun at rising—night after might, day after day, year after yeir—-until there was naught but a handful of bones, a rusty sabre handle, the visor of a sol- dier's cap, to mark the spot. Such is a soldiers death, and thus is valor won. ~<a WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Reyular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 10, 1386. Some of the President's latest work has been that of carefully examining private pension bills. He was suppo:- ed to have work enough to do already without assuming any new burdeus; but it seems he feels the necessity of taking ahand himself in the retrench- ment cunpaign which Mr. Hewitt and some other influential Democr..ts have begun in the House of Representatives. Mr, Cleveland’s predecessors have gen- erally rezirded ite too short to spend in examining this class of legis- lation with special care. They have contented themselves with assurance that Congress bul opportu: ities for ne vestigating tue Claims im the most thorough manner, and that if the bills as had got through both Houses there must have been some werit in them. A few days since a rumor about the Capital, to the effect that any further raids upon the Treasury would be com+ batted by the President's veto, created considerable sensation. President Cleve- land is the first President, it is said, who has undertaken to scrutinize private bills. But he became alarmed the reck- less way Congress was rushing the pen- sion business. A fortmght ago the Senate alone, in one day, prssed over 450 such bills, after merely reading their titles, This hurried and careless way of taking mo:e, out of the National Treasury struck the President as emi- 'nently improper, and he began sending ‘to the Pension Office for the records in “Cat, “slash,” here and there, the sharp | order to satisfy his mind concerning each of the cases which have thus far come before him. It is, perhaps, no more than the President’s duty, but it is a‘Inty which has rarely been per- formed; and the question 1s, where Mr Cleveland is going to find the time for the pursuit of his excellent policy. No speech probably has been made during the present session of Congress which has created so much of a sensa- tion as the one delivered by Mr. Hew- itt, on Thursday, when he protested against any further raids upon the Treasury under the name of bounties or other benefits of that kind to sol- diers of the late war. Most of these prepositions are ill-considered, and al- though for seventy-five years to come the South will be helping to pay pen- sions to the soldiers and to the lee of the North, a Southern member can- not raise a question as to the propriety of any of these grabs, without render- ing himself liable to charges of disloy- alty, flippantly and cheaply brought. The reference made by the gentle- man from New York to the peculiar , osition of Southern members, who are thus embarrassed when they would like to oppose these ruinous schemes according to their convictions, was espe- cially relevant and timely. He declared that the limit of endurance on the part of the tax payer had been reached and that the discontent on account of ex- cessive taxation was breaking out in riots, dynamite, and death. ‘Those who wanted to dive their hands down into the Treasury,” said he, “take ad- vantage of the delicate position in which the Southern men are placed, being subject to the charge of disloy- alty if they resist the steal.” But no one could make this charge against him he would make the fight. <> If you want to keep up with the times take the WatclMAN—you can’t be left. FARMERS IRON MOWE Revarded as the most perfect one ever con- structed, It has many points of excellence to commend it to the American Farmer. Some of which are as follows: Havin enlar ed wheels it has guite an easy draft, The weight has been reduced several nundred pounds, A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries the weight of the cutter bar and prevents any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead wheel forms a pertect: protection to the pitman and can be set higher or lower, as may be required in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut ig very desirable. Another important teature in this Mower is that the cuttiny apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impossible, This is a weak point in most mowers, and very often overlooked in purchasing, though the defect reveals itself by use. It is provided with the same kind of wooden pitman as described particularly in the remarks about the regular IRON MOWER. It is a Machine that will -tand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most diff-ult places in a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give speed to the Knife. THik DAISY, A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially for those who own small farms. Itisaecenter eut, one- wheeled reaper, cutting five feet wide, having the main wheel on a fine with the small grain wheel, the advantages of which can be seen by the case with which it can be backed or turned, By the use of one lever, both ends of the platform can be raised or lowered to any desired height of cut, while another lever tilts the cutting edge to the anyte required ‘to pick up leaning or fallen grain. These changes can be made by the driver in fis i geat. with the machine in motion. There is no cox vearing in the main wheel to gather dirt and straw, 18 the mo- tions of gearing, raking, a d tripping de- viecs are all well timed and positive, en- abling the operator to size the undies to suit the grain, its whole operation will be found simple. positive and reliable.

Crafwerdville, Ga., Democrat. B. B. B. is without doubt one of the most valuable and popular meaicincs known to the medical science, and bas relieved more suffering humanity than any other medicine since it came into use. It has never failed in a single instance to produce the most favorable results where it has been properly used. Physicians everywhere recommend it as dajpy all it isclaimedtado. The fo!- lowing certificates are from two ‘promil-ent physiciaus, who have done a large and suc- cessful practice for many years, and upon Sr judgment the public can safely rely: CRAWFORDVILLE, Ga., July 15, 1885. Editor Democrat :-For the past ten years I have been suffering with rheumatism in the muscles of my right shoulder and neck. During this time I have tried various rem- edies, both patent medicine and those pre- scribed by physicians, Last summer I commenced using B. B. B.. and could see un improvement by the time I had taken one bottle. I have been taking it at inter- vals since last summer, and can say it is the best medicine for rheumatism I have ever tried. I tuke pleasure in recommed- ing it to the public. J. W. RHODES, A. M., M. D. CRAWFORDVILLE, Ga., July 15, 1885. Editor Democrat :—About November of last yearT had what I supposed to be a cauliflower excrescence on right side of neck. I used local applications, which effected no perceptible good. I commenced the use of B. B. B. and took it regularly twelve bottles, and in due time the sore bealed over, and now consider it well. I cheefully recommed it as a fine tonic and allterative medicine. 8S. J. FARMER, M. D. —_—-— “Meal Bag on a Bean Pole.” ELBERTON, Ga, June 1, 1885. My brother has a son that was afflicted with theumansm in one of his legs until the knee was 80 badly contracted that he could not touch the ground with his heel, and had scrofula, He took only two bot tles of B. B. B., and scrofula and rheume tism are both gone. Mrs M A. Elrod came to my house the past summer almost covered with carbune les aud Vols, I vot two bottles of B. B. B.. and before she had got tnrougn with the second bottle she was entirely well. She was also troubled with swolen feet and ankles, and have been fortwenty year. All gone—no more trouble with swolen feet now. I was troubled with bleeding piles since 3858. I used one bottle, avd have felt nothing of the kind since taking the medi cine.

Those people who are clamoring for the eight-hour rule of work, vainly suppose that such jnnovation on the present system will inure wholly to their benefit; that they will be the gainers and their employers the ae by the change. Is it likely to result in that way ? It will not change hu- man pature, and therefore will mot re- strain the ambition and struggle of | men to rise. Those who choose tu work only eight hours, should that be- come the rule, will be allowed to do so; but that will wot hinder others from working longer, nor from receiving larger pay tor their labor. It will wot deprive a skilled workinan from com- maniding wages equal to bis merits, nor keep him on the same social plain with the ordinary mechanic who works only eight hours. It will not abolish the laws of right and wrong nor the dis- tinction which the common sense of the world bas established in respect to industry and sloth. The eight hour people are deceiving themselves, as a few years of experience will prove, un- less, indeed they can reverse great nat- ural laws which govern this subject. ee ee ’*Murder Hole.” The Richmond Dispatch gives a de- scription of a very remarkable natural curivsity near Red Sulphur Springs in Roanoke county, Va. It consists of a perpendicular hole in the ground 130 feet deep. Width and length 40x60 feet. It has three perpendicular sides of solid rock—the fourth also mainly rock—descending at an angle of about Ad degrees. On this latter side, descent js made to the bottom by means of ropes. The bottom is covered with moss and ferns of the loveliest charac- ter, that brought to the top. perature at the bottom is 44 degrees— too cold for snakes—none ever having been there. It is in fact the great gaping mouth of a deeper cave, which has not yet been explored more than 200 feet. It is called “Murder Hole” by the people around it because, years ago, cattle used to fall into it and wither almost as soon as The summer tem- seen were lost. Jt is now enclosed to pre- yent such accidents. ———————— Dehorning Cattle. The Chicago Humane Society prose- cuted a Mr. Haatf, of Llinois, a noted wlucle raiver, far cawing off the horns of his cattle. What was the effect of it? [t set stock raisers to thinking on the subject, and they are now adopting Haaff's dehoraing theory and practice. He says it makes the animals less dan- gerous to each other and their attend- ants; that considerable less food is re- qured to keep them; that the cattle keep warmer in winter by huddling closer together; and lastly, that abor- tions are less frequent. He says also, that the operation performed with a keen saw and quickly, is less painful and far less dangerous than castrating @ mature animal, a process that public opimion has sanctioned for centuries. The operation-may be performed on calves only two weeks old, when the horn is loose on the heal and may be! removed with a section of skin. A ecar will be left, but o0 horn will come if the rudimentary hory is taken out. Mr. John Brooks, of Princeton, a prominent breeder of fine cattle, has deuded to give dehorning a thorough trial, So the Chicago Humane Society's prosecution of Haaff was an advertise- ment of his practice and made it popu- Jar insteyl of suppressing it. ———~.-____ Looking for Ghosts. It may be remarked as very late in the day for scientife men —grave sen- iors in learning —serioasly to set about investigating the subjects of ghosts and haunted houses. And yet it as a fact. In Boston, the American Society for Psychical Research has appointed a special committee on apparitions and hauated In Philadelphia a Similar investization is being made by the University of Pennsylvania. But this last is Mr. Seybert’s houses. revenve against the spiritnalists for defaming one of his*houses 2s being haunted. He provided for it in his will, and required that the investigation so had, shall be published, know any-| thing about ghosts and haunted houses are solicited to report information to these Boston and Philadelphia Doctors.

Her chief industry, at present, is lime burning, of which jarge quantities are turned out. ——_—_— Moving West. Mr. P. M. Wilson, Secretary of the, Boerd of Agriculture, and Mr. John T. | Patrick, State Immigration Agent, were in Salisbury a few hours on last Monday. ‘They were on their way to | Asheville where they are naking ar- ‘rangements for introducing intelligent nen of some means, from points both ‘north and south. It is to be done on the same general plan which bas pro- iven successful at the new town of | Southern Pines. At this place there are now going up twenty-five new ‘dwelling houses, and uone of them ‘having less than eight rooms. This | looks like success. Commissioner Pat- rick says that the work will be easier in the west. He can draw frome both sections, as the climate, water, etc., of the mountainous region will be sufh- cient inducement. His plans only in- clude persons of some means and only such persons as will invest. This in- sures an active, intelligent and desira- ble class of immigrants. Mr. Wilson says that the indications for the speedy development of the western part of the State are most flattering. The Department has many querries regarding that section from the best people all over the Union. Ile is expecting two lots of moneyed men to visit the section this month. -~—>- Great Destruction of Birds. A shower of dead birds of many va- rieties fell on the streets of Chicago, recently. They were migratory birds and were killed by flying during the night into an immense electric tower There were thousands killed. light. ——~——a After the great Rochester tornado, « farmer twelve miles from town found an uninjured marble top table in his field. Another found a very large sheep that came from no one knew where and had been deposited in his yard unhurt. It is easy to conceive of such things being lifted by the suck and whirl of a tornado and of their being carried off for miles; but not so easy to ’see how they get down to the earth again without being broken to pieces. en >> The National Builder presents a statement showing the difference in the cost of three kinds of building ma- terial for a wall of ten feet square, or 100 superticial feet, including all cost of putting it up, to wit: Common brick, - - «27,00 Rubble Stone, - - - 27,00 Frame, - - . - 12,93 There will be variations in this esti- mate dependent on local ciscumstances; but relatively, and as a general thing, the estimate ts offered as proportionately correct.

Almost every issue contains more or less on the Bills before Congress, and always from the patentees standpoint. {t is the duty of members of Congress to take care of the interests of their constituents—the greatest good to the greatest number—and failing in this sould be held to account. * Rev. J.N. H. Summerell, is doing double duty as pastor of the Tarboro and Rocky Mount Presbyterian church- es.

It seems to be worse, if anything, than either the liquor or the opium babit. Rev. Walter W. Moore, D. D., was married in Salem, on last Tuesday evening to Miss Lula Fries. Both the bride and groom are well known in North Carolina. Dr. Moore was a school mute, and geuial friend of the writer, who wishes him all happmess in his new relation.

Tha Now Y ork Star is onc of the soundest’ Democratic papers in thr Woe 7 : the United States, and it treats ques- tions concerning the South with a commendable spirit of fairness not often seen in the press of the North. [t is well known that members of both branches of our national Congress have been obliged to sit in silence and allow measures to pass over them be- cause they were from the South, and an expression of opinion from that section contrary to the Northern senti- inent was a thing not to be dreamed of. But achange is taking place in the sentiment of the North as the fol- lowing from the Star will show: We are vlad to see that Senator Vest of Missouri had the courage to Oppo-e one of the numerous pension jobs now pressed upon Conzress by vote seckin= dcmaxopucs, Senator Blair of New Haupshire, author of the most sweeping and reckless of these devices for depleting the treasury, gucs- tioned the right of ex-Contederates to Oppose such measures.

His love was re- turned, but the difference in’ position pre vented him trom marrying the girl. He leit Westphalia and came to this country ond in Bridgeton, N. J., where he married an estimable young lady. but he was un fortunate in busines and at last the couple were compelled to apply for aid at the County Altmshouse. Fifteen years azo his former love diced, still true to him. Her last wish was that her fortune, amounting to $200,000, should be given him, although she had heard nothing of him for nearly thirty yeare. A search was immediately begun, and two weeks ago he wrs found at Bridveton, He started immediately tor Germany to receive the money.” oa ee A book has been written under the ti- tle, “Four Centuries of Silence.” It is needless to say that is not a history of the profession of barbering,—Graphic.

Henry George, the writer on political economy from the labor standpoint, says to the workingmen : “Why do you merely ask for eight hours for labor—why not six, five, four, even one hour’s work per day would be enough! Think of the agency of produc- tion! Think of the worth of man’s intel- ligence! Think of that intelligence which sends ugaessage across the ocean! Is it not capable of reducing the labor so that one hour is sufficient for a day’s work.” What a glorious time we will all have doing only one hour's work a day! The The United States Fish Commission had better be more active in increasing the supply of ish, for when that good time comes we will all want to goa fishing.— Baitimore Manufacturers’ Record. ———_r-—— The Granite Falls Cotton Manufactur- ing Co., of North Carolina, have declared a 10 per cent. dividend, and applied 5 per cent. to the purchase of new machin- ery, thcir net earnings for the year being 15 per cent.; not a bad showing, consid- ering the general condition of the cotton trade during the first part of 1885.—Baltt- - postmaster of Chicago under the republi- | Was asuit to recover money that Gen. ‘one of them bit her hand.

In view of the frequent occurrence of disastrous cyclones and tornadoes in sec- tions of our country heretofore consider- ed exempt from such storms, it is deemed a fitting opportunity tocall your attention to the fact that Mr. J. Allen Brown is prepared to issue policies against losses irom such disasters, at rates easily in reach of every property owner. During one year 9 tornadoes occurred in Vir- vinia, 12 in North Carolina; 22 in South Carolina and 388 in Georgia. Insurance is ali that can save loss from such causes. Don’t wait until the next storm scatters your property to the winds, but procure a policy with J. Allen Brown against tor- nadoes, cyclones and mud storms. Rates very Tow, being only one-halt per cent. ior one year, one per cent. fur three years, and one and one-half per cent. for ive years, and, if desired, notes for 4 of premium on terin risks will be accepted.

A one pound can of cach powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume in each can calculated, the result being as indicated. This practical test for worth by Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of tne Royal Baking Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan- tare of better werk. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powder will convince any fa'r minded person of these facts.

No cause could be assigned for their departure and no trace fuund of their movements; and after constituting « nine days’ wonder, the matter was forgotten amid the stir- ring events of the war. Some time ago, ina little town in Western Texas, | accidentally ran up with Jim Dutton. ‘There was no mis- taking the man. Time had dealt gent- ly with him, and he looked prosperous und happy. I slapped him on the back with a hearty— “Hello, Jim Dutton!” Jim turned, and fell all to pieces, so to speak.

Philadelphia has had many riots, and | just now, in anticipation of more, pre- arabions are being made which would rather amusing if it were not for the profound fear of mob violence they ‘seem to indicate. Mayor Smith hae ‘announced that he is going to get a ‘Gatling gun, capable of discharing 2.000 rounds a minute, for the police, and he also wants to urm 250 of his officers with rifles to form a little street army. Then all of the police- men are to be provided with the most improved style of pistols, and these various weapons of warfare, in addi tion to the clubs and murderous blaek- jacks which the otticers always carry, are expected to spread dismay through the ranks of the most valiant mob that ever marched down from Kinsington and Richmond or was recruited in the vile alleys and recesses of the slums. The patrol wagon system, which has been of such advantage in Chicago in mobilizing the police force, 1s in opera- tion over the central portion of Phila- delphia, and the blue wagons with their spirited horses and jaunty officers, would doubtless be as serviceable here as in the western city. The United States government has also taken a hand in preparing for emergencies. As the mint with its many millions of dollars in coin and bullion, would be a veritable bonanza for a mob with thievish intents, two ugly-look- ing Gatling guns have been procured from Washington and now guard the porticoed structure at Chesnut and Juniper streets. It is said they are to be placed on the roof, from which they could sweep all approaches to this great Moral Trainings of Pupils. There is a steady growing demand for the moral as well as mental train- ing of children in the schools. The about six or seven hours daily for five days in each week, and surely no better opportunity can be nted for direct- ing the minds and hearts in the proper channels. Do not stop when the child has recited what was assigned him as a lesson from the book, but teach him to think right, act right, talk right and have the right conceptions of life, of his relations to fellow pupils, his par- ents, and to humanity in general. -Teach him a proper respect for Chris- tianity, the Bible and the laws of the land, particularly the distinctions be- tween “mine” and “thine,” the priceless worth of truth, politeness, and in this connection the other graces—gentle- ness, forbearance, patience and integri- ty. The teacher ought also to lay the foundation for a temperate life as re- gards the use of alcohet and all other hurtful stimularits. It is presumed, of course, that the teacher will train the children in all these things by example as well as by precept. 2 Or Full Style.

At tirst | laughed at the idea; and then | rummaged through some old histories, and 1 found that in every civilizeu country where there was a rebellion, it a government oficer sided with the rebels he was guilty of high treason. Now, it struck me that secession was in fact a rebellion, and if we were whipped, as I feared we would be, [ would be in # bad box. I told my wite abou it, and she reminded me that I had a copy of Blackstone, and advised me to read up on the puuishment of treason. “You see, 1 was so badly scared that I was afraid to consult anybody, su that night I got Blackstone down, and my wite and [ looked through it. | give you my word that what we read made our hair stand on end. Why, sir, we learned from that infernal book that [was liable to be convicted of treason, drawn to the place of execu- tion on a hurdle, hanged and quarter- ed, besides forfeiting my property and having my blood corrupted. My wife burst into tears and threw her arms around my neck, while I blubbered a little, myself. “To think,” said my wife, “that my Jimmie must be quartered like beet, and be hanged, and all sorts of horrid things.” ““Its durned bad,’ [ said‘ ‘and then I see that my blood is to be corrupted.’ ‘How can that hurt you, asked my wife, ‘after you are dead ?’ ‘ ‘Dunno,’ I said, ‘but I don't like “Well the long and short of it was that we decided to skip.

You bet I looked up that treason business, and found out what a monumental fool I had made of myself.” T leaned back in my chair and laughed heartily. “Oh, you may laugh,” said Dutton, ‘but my folly and ignorance were the making of me.” “You would have done well if you had remained in Georgia,” I replied. “No, I wouldn't; I'd have stuck to Blue Rock, and perhaps been postinas- ter there yet on a salary of $75 a year. Now I havea ranch worth $150,000. and am. beginning to enjoy life. Come home with me and see; I live only 20 miles from here.” I had to decline the invitation, as J was to leave next day. “You can tell the boys, if you like,” said Jim at parting: “some of those Blue Rock fhe are as green now as I used to be, and [ don't eare what they may think of it. And, Colonel. tell them the old woman and I are get- ting along just splendid, and that my two sons and daughters are the tinest lads and lassies in Texas.” As I rode off I turned when I came to the first hill top, and half a mile be- low in the village street I could see the ex-postmaster of Blue Rock waving his sombrero. ————— pei Warts.

I do not dread hog or chicken cholera at all, for as soon as either begins to show signs of disease | mux some car- vohe acid in the feed, and they soon are all right again. It is the best pre- ventive medicine I have ever seen tried, and farmers would do well to keep some in the house, and whenever they sus- pect that their stock has been exposed to some contagion, feed them some for several days, about two or three times a day. 1 tried it for the pinkeye on horse, ind those that had been getting the acid after exposure to the disease had it so shght that it did not hurt them at all, while the first one that took it without being treated befere got down very low with it. It is also recommended for rinderpest, or cattle plague, rot in sheep or glanders in nores. J have not had ovcusion to try it for those diseases, but have no doubt that if anything will cure or prevent them, carbolic acid will. But L have found it an unfailing remedy for gapes inchickens. If they are so bad that they will not eat any more. dissolve the acid in water until the water becomes clear, and pour a little in their throats. and it wiil cure almost immediately.

The Lenoir Topic tells of shad being caught from the Catawba 1n Burke and Caldwell counties this year for the first time in 50 years, and that river they are offered at reasonable prices in It ithen tells this story about cathing fish: There is a kind of fish called “Globe suckers,” much valued as a pan fish, that is eaught out of John’s river at ;Collettsville in an ingenious manner, The fish seems to be anxious to go up ithe river into the Globe sections and makes frantic efforts to climb the wat- erfall over the mill dam at Collettsville, leaping up in the water to within a half dozen or a dozen feet of the top of the dam and falling back into the river below. Baskets are fastened to the top of the dam and are so arranged as to hang close to and outside of the waterfall at an altitude below that reached by the tish in their vain efforts tu scale the dam. When they reach their highest point in the water and fall back they are caught in the hang- hing baskets and secured. A great jmany have been caught this season. } Four hundred were found in’ the bas- kets Thursday morning and the neigh- bors around Collettsville are just feast- ing on fish. Various parts of those counties. The Asheville Citizen in speaking of of the artificial production of shad says: To those who have been poohpooh- ing the operations of the Fish Commis- slon as an expensive and useless insti- tution, it may not be omiss to say that, at least so far as the shad fisheries are concerned, the work of the commission has proved a great success. An unpre- cedented abundance of shad this season is noticed in all the rivers which have been heretofore supphed with young tish by the commission. An evidence that the abundance of shad is due arti- Hcial propagation is that the same in- crease is noticed in waters on the Paci- fic coast, in which shad were unknown until the young fish were placed in these rivers by the commission. The most in- veterate scoffer can scarcely deny that if shad can be made plenty by artificial propagation in streams where they were unknown, that the numbers can be materially increased by the same m-ihod in waters to which they are native. ><> aa Moral Character. There is nothing which adds so much to the beauty and power of man asa good moral life. It dignifies him in every station, exalts him in every con- dition, and glorities him at every period Such a character 1s more to be desired that everything else on earth. It makes a man free and independent. No servile tool-croaking sycophant, no honor-seeker ever bore The pure joys of truth and righteousnes never spring in such a person. If young men_ but knew how much a_ good character ; treacherous glorious it would make their prospects even in this life, never should we find them yielding to the groveling and base-born purposes of human nature.— Baltimorean. i ree Blowing Rock Boom.

There will be no lack of accommodations at Blowing Rock Idleness a Curse. From Statesville Uandmark. Zoroaster, of Persia, wrote the Zen- davesta in which he taught that there are two angels of equal might and in perpetual conflict. One the “angel of light,” the other the “angel of dark- ness.’ When the angel of light pre- vailed the world had peace, harmony, good-will and general prosperity. When the angel of darkness prevailed the world had war, pestilence, famine and general adversity. Those two angels very fitly stand for modern optimism and pessimism. Optimism teaches that the world is getting better. Pessimism teaches that the world is growing worse. The weight of evidence seems to be first on one side and then on the other. I belong to the optimistic par- ty and yet I feel doubtful sometimes, espetially when my dyspepsia is at home attending to business. But while we are divided on some questions we are all convinced of this one thing: that there is a great deal of physical and moral evil in the world—tenfold more than there ought to be under our moral restraints and Christian civiliza- tion. Sin, like the hydra-headed mon- ster in the marsh of Lesna, enters ev- ery community in the multiform evils of the times. The more prominent evils are charged with the authorship of every foul deed. Nearly every man has an opinion as to what is the real thoroughly suppress the evil. greatly opinions differ! Good men do not see alike. Each one has his hobby. Ihave mine. I believe that the great- est evil, or rather the sin that origi- nates mine-tenths of all the modern evils, 1s idleness. Drunkenness, pro- fanity and lawlessness are only symp- toms of the disease in the body politic. The disease is idleness. The treatment of symptoms has a salutary effect, but the effective remedies must be applied to the disease proper. Before the fall, when humanity was a stranger to depravity and dwelt in the Mden home and held daily converse with : dress and keep the garden. The earth brought forth abundant supplies for man and beast without cultivation. Controlling the vines and trees in their luxariant growth furnished sutticient toil for sintess humanity. But after the fall, which rendered humanity very the safeguard for man. So God said, “Cursed is the ground for thy sake.” The earth was cursed for nfan’s good. By the curse upon it) was made harmonize with ES humanity as it had done with sinless man. ‘The mten- tion of the curse was to increase labor and make it necessary to cultivate the earth to secure its fruits. God thus in- vented labor, and manual labor at that, for a sasezuard to fallen humanity. The great evil of all evils now 1s that society opposes this Divine arrange- ment. Society, in its morbid condition, makes it disreputable for a man or wo- man to work for a living. Moral char- and grading society. Hands soiled and fanned in the light of the corntield, are more offensive to fashionable society than sin. An honest, industrious young man, who selects farming as his occu- pation, knows that he must do it ata heavy social expense. The results are many evils—fraud, robbery, murder, burglary, drunkenness, fighting, tale- bearing, counterfeiting and dishonest methods of money-making. I know whereof I write when | say that there are many young men who would hke to get out of the towns and villages and go tothe quiet farm and go to work if they could continue to hold their plac- es in society. Some of them brook tie sneers of giddy girls and sappy young men and go to work and do well. Oth- ers suffer on and come to nothing, while others leave their native homes and go West or anywhere, where tiiey ean lay off their coats and gloves and go to work and still be respected. I am aprohibitionist and am in sym- pathy with all laudable enterprises having as their object the improvement of the country. But we need persever- ing, organized effort now to revolution- ize our modern society. We need to turn the whole current of thought and emotion, and instead of the sickly sen- timental gush in social songs and love- sick novels let us have a liturature of yrose and poetry that will eulogize the Hone farmer and the maid-of-all-work and the queen of the wash-tub. God instituted and honors labor, and why cannot we do the same? When society makes idleness a social crime and labor honorable, and ostracizes the loufer and makes a hero of the honest hard labor- er, then very many of the evils that we now deplore will be comparatively unknown. God bless that institution and its achievements whose badge is the blue ribbon. But no law or measure whose object is the su; p ‘e:sion of crime will be a complete success while the originating cause is fostered and cher- ished. I hope that some great moral re- former will soon be raised up from somewhere who will succeed in persua- ding all the moral forces of this land to turn their batteries against idleness until it will be a social disgrace to live without honest work either of brain or muscle. Let us get back to the Pauline doctrine that they that “wall not work shall not eat.” J.C. Rows. Lenoir, N. C., May 7, 1886. _ So this summer. -- Lewoer Topre.

(From our Regular Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, May 17, 1886. Congressmen express themselves differ - ently us to the results of the fall elections. Many of the old members have announced their intention to retire, and many of the new ones talk indifferently about coming back. A few of them say they would not make an effort to return. They claiin that the pesition of a Representative is not profitable, and that for mere experience, a single term is sufficient. A Western mem- ber, who will not be returned by his con- stituents, said he fully appreciated the honor of being in Congress, but his business at home had suffered 30 much by this honor, that with all the fascination of the beauti- ful city of Washington, he did not enjoy living in his trunk, On the other hand there are many mem-— bers of the Forty-Nint#who desire above everything else to be members of the Fifti- eth Congress. These are now on the) anxious bench, nervously hoping to secure | the re-indorsement of their constituents. Several members bave been made happy in this way during the past few days. All week long the House Judiciary Com- mittee has been listening to arguments for and acainst additional legislation in Utah, The longest of these pleas was that of the! distinguished lawyer, Mr. Jeff. Chandler. | He had special indignation to bestow on | those people who go to Utah, but do not. live there, yet stir up strife and inflame the country to gain notority. Said he: ' “Are we to be driven by a storm of preju- | dice?) Prejudice has darkened the history | of this country from the beginning. ef) | Miss Cate Field, who sat by and heard | all that was said upon the subject, has made some caustic remarks inreply. ‘“Ac- ; cording to this reasoning,” said she, *be- cause I do not have my own throat cut, I must raise no cry when my neighbor's throat is cut.” She says if this country is a nation, what concerns one portion, con- | cerns all, and it is about time tor the peo- | ple to realize that when the Rocky Moun- tains take poison, the Atlantic sea-board must ca!l in the doctors, She also thinks that people living outside of Utah, who ask for legisiation to do away with treason and polygamy in that Territory, may be more unselfish’in their opposition to the Mormon church than the a torneys paid to defend it. A Congressman who was discussing the labor troubles said; ‘IT make it a business | to vote for every labor bill or resolution that comes up. It makes no difference to me what its merits are. 1 cannot afford | to do anything else.” He added that large | numbers of his constituents are members | of labor organizations, and if he took any other course he would have to spend all of his time in explanation that would vot be suuisfuctory. He thinks the most exasper- ating thing in our politics is the tendency | to misrepresent motives and actions and that the ouly sell-protection is) to be in Opposition to popular sentiment as little as possible. He acknowledged that it) was tol a celf-respecting Contession, “but,” con- tinued he, “you can only protect yourself , from demagogucs by being #8 modified | demagogue yoursell, Nothing resurrects like a pension bill. If Congress were to pass a bill to pay an additional pension to the survivors of the | Revolutionary war there very little | doubt but that more “survivors” would turn up in a couple of months than there were men in the Continental army. It the bill should be enlarged so as to include those left over fram the French and Indian war, it is not entirely unfair to suppose | that a goodly number of these veterans of the last century would come out of the past loaded down with papers and peti | | \ 1 | is It would perhaps be going tuo far to say | that one third of the immense draft which | is being annually made upon the public trevsury for this purpose is paid out to | cluims tradulently based, but that a great deal of money goes in this way is beyoud question. Senator Vest, of Missouri, bas been ex- pressing himsclf to the Senate in regard to pensions. He thinks the anxiety of both political parties and the cupidity of pension claim agents are responsibie for so much pension legislation. He dovs not believe it 1s demanded by the volunteer soldier of the country, The astute and purchased intel- lect of claimyayents, cormorants and cuarb- stone lawyers in Washington was constant- ly contriving new devices for increasing pensions by which to fill their own pocketts He avimadverted with severity on ye. “nebulosity” of the estimates made by different persons ag to the amount that the vereral Pension bil would take from = the Treasury. He asserted that the amount was beyond the ken of mortal man, a Immigration Dots A number of gentlemen from Penn- sylvania are interesting themselves in North Carolina mining lands.

Some years ago, in Georgia, that band of Christians known as Ascensionists were having a grand revival. One day when the meeting was in full force a storm came up, and a young gentleman who was out hunting with his servant took refuge in the church door. Being curious to see the service, the two huni- ters crept up into the gallery, and there hid in a,gplace where they could ob- serve without being observed. “Come, Lord, come; our robes are ready. Come, Lord, come,” cried the preacher, while all present gave a loud “Amen.” “Marsa Gabe,” whispered Cuffy, lift- ing his hunting horn to his mouth, “let me gib dem jist one toot.” “Put that horn down, or I'll break your head,” replied the master, in a whisper. The horn dropped by Cuffy’s side, and again the minister cried: “Come, Lord, come; we are all ready for Thy coming. Come, Lord, come.” “Do, Marsa Gabe—do jist lemme gib ‘em jist one toot,” pleaded Cuffy, wet- ting his lips and raisin the horn. “If you don't drop that horn, Cuffy, I'll whip you within an inch of your life,” whispered the exasperated mias- ter. “Blow, Gabriel, blow; we are ready for his coming. Blow, Gabriel, blow.” pleaded the minister. Cuffy could no longer resist the temp- tation, and sent a wild peal ringing from end to end of the church; but long before its last echo died away his “I's ready fur de licking, Marsa Gabe,” said Cuffy, showing every tooth in his head, “for I ‘clar to gracious it’s worf two lickings to see de way com- mon farm cattle kin git ober de groun’ wid skeared “Seensionits behind dem.” —Editors’ Drawer in Harper's Maga- zine. FARMERS COME AND SEE McCORMICK’S 1886 Improved No. IRON MOWER Regarded as the most perfect one ever con- structed. It has many points of excellence Having enlarged wheels it has guite an easy draft. The weight has been reduced A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries the weight of the cutter bar and prevents any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead wheel forms a perfect protection to the pitman and can be set higher or lower, as may be required in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut is very desirable. Another important feature in this Mower is that the cutting apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impossible. This isa weak point in most mowers, and very often overlooked in purchasing, though the defect reveals itsel. by use. It is provided with the same kind of wooden pitman as described particularly in the remarks about the regular IRON MOWER. It is a Machine that will -tand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most difficult places in a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give speed to the knife. M i er - vr F MMi ug ts '2 TIHIE DAISY, A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially far those who own small farms. It isa center cut, one-wheeled reaper, cutting five feet wide, having the main wheel on a line with the small grain wheel, the advantages of which can be seen by the ease with which it can be backed or turned, By the use of one lever, both ends of the platform ean be raised or lowered to any desired height of cut, while another lever tilts the cutting edge to the angle required to pick up leaning or fallen grain. These changes can be made by the driver in his seat, with the machine in motion, There is no cog gearing in the main wheel to gather dirt and straw, as the mo- tions of gearing, raking, aud tripping de- vices are all well timed and positive, en- abling the operator to size the bundles to suit the grain, its whole operation will be found simple, positive and reliable.

This class of troublesome complaint em- braces a large list, some of which afflict nearly every family in the land. Herete- fore the treatment of nearly all these dis- eases has been very unsatisfactory and unsuccessful, and the people have béén very much deceived by pretended remedies, | A majority are caused by an impure, viti- ated condition of the blood, and as most of the blood remedies of the day reqnire 50 to 100 bottles before you discover that they will not effect a cure, we offer B.B.B., which makes positive cures by the use of only a few bottles. The most common of. the skin diseases which are cured by the use of B. B. B., the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows, cma, Old Ulcers, Impetigo, Abscesses, ° Erysipelas, -_ Dry Tetter, Ringworm, . Carbuncles, Scaldhead, Itching Humors, Pruritus, Blotches, Old Sores, Herpes, Pimples, Boils, Itch, Splotches. Beautiful Complexion. is sought by the use of cosmetics and all sorts of external applicants, some of them being poisonons, All females love to look pretty (which gentlemen do net object to) and a smooth, soft, clear complexion adds greatly to fe- male charms. The use of B. B. B. will purify your blood, will remove blotches, splotches and bumps that appear upon the tace and neck, and will tinge the pale check with the roseate hues of nature. One or two bettles will convince any one of its value. No family should fail to kecp B. B. B. in the house, as there is no family medicine its equal. Rheumatism. One author says: “Rheumatism is due to the presenee in the blood of a vegetable organism of definite character.” Another says: “It is due to the presence of @ poisonn in the blood which of the natnre of a miasm.” __ The disease having its origin in the blood, it is reasonable to suppose that it must be cured by remedies directed to the bloed. A successful remedy must produce cer- tain changes in the composition of the blood, and when this has been accom plish- ed, all pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why extcr- nal applications fall to produce permanent relief. _ But we now have the remedy which acts like magic in giving relief to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart. It also cures syphilitic and mercurial pains and rheumatism in an incredibly short time. The fact cannot be denied that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has proven itself to be the most speedy and wonderful remedy for all forms of rheumatism ever before known, Those who were prostrated in bed and could not get about. have been cured. Men with twocrntches, and hobbling along with stiffened and painful joints, withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite, are cured by the use of B. B.B. Cast aside all other remedics, use B.B.B. and you will soon have no use for crutches. Many who read this will refuse to be cured by the use of B. B. B., but we advise a!l such to drop us a postal card for our Book of Wonder, free, which is filled with startling proof of cures made here at home. It also contains full information about blood and skin diseases, which everybody should read. Address Blood Balm Company, Atlanta, Ga., und you may be made happy. Kerosene Oil! ENNISS’ Drug Store.

Some such legislation is necessary, and, in fact, should be demanded by the people. Ameriea is too free to foreigners. The idea of an American going to’England, France or Germany, and in a residence of a few years qualify himself to hold any official position, no matter how talented, able and capable he may be, is not to be dreamed of. He can never rise by political prefern.ent. But let any of these nationalities eome to America, and by a simple residence of a few years they are qualified to enjoy the liberty and offices of our State or national institutions. It should not be so. The State of Rhode Island has a property qualification on the franchise, in addition to her naturalization law, and while it is laughed at as un repub- licean and undemocratic and contrary to the genius of the fundamental princi- ples of the republic, yet that State has been less disturbed by riots, strikes and even boycotts than any other of the northern States. We do not recall a single strike which has occurred in that State this year. May not a pro- perty qualified franchise for all for- eigners prove a blessing to our land! Will it not allow American’s to govern America ? or sought in a wider view of the subject, aad we think it has been truly sketched above. It has been suggested by an able writer on the subjeet that the best pos- sible course for farmers under the cir- cumstances, is to ruise less and make it better. Many farmers are very slovenly in the management of their tobacco from the beginning to the end of their crops. Every detail of the business requires nice management to insure The Blair Bill in North Carolina. Discussion has brought out much latent opinion as regards this bill. The people are just beginning to see the dangers lurking in its pretended generosity to the South. Senator Vance has been quoted recently as favoring the bill, and the Charlotte Home-Demo- crat has this to say: If Goy. Vance made certain declara- tions recently, that some of his imprudent fair remuneration, and it is therefore idle for men to expect good prices for an inferior or badly handled crop.

He is report- ed as saying (among other assertions) that ‘he is satisfied the desire for the passage of the Blair Bill is almost unani- mous among the people,” and that “he is at a loss to account for the opposition to the Bill among some of the Editorial fra- ternity of North Carolina.” We know, personally, at least, one or two hundred good and true men in this county, who are opposed to the iniquitous and peace-destroying Bill—among them some of the best lawyers in the State— r|and no doubt there are many others; and farmers are obliged to have money to Unfortunate- we know, personally, that many of the best men in the State opposed to the bad scheme. ly, many of them are hard pressed for money, and in a sort of desperation to relieve themsclves of debt, devote too much time and labor on these crops, That is just about the situation in Rowan.

There has been a great change of sen- timent in Rowan. The Home-Demo- crat continues: There are seven or cight good and true Democratic papers in this Congressional District that oppose the Blair Bill, and there are about thirty good and true Democratic papers in the State that also oppose the Bill. So, Gov. Vance will see that the squandering scheme lacks a good deal of having an “almost unanimous” Our good Northern cousins who have been inclined to sneer at the South with asuspicion of malevolence in their jeers because the tide of foreign immigration gave us a wide berth and noured itself out in more congenial latitudes, are now discussing measures for keeping foreign laborers away from their doors, and for the most part think that America has re- ccived about as many importations of mankind as she cancarry. This agrees very we!t with protection doctrines which are based on the notion that we can erect a wall around this continent and warn other pecple away, and it reminds us of a saying that was somewhat ular the South 30 years age: “All eo wants to be let alouc,”’ and so neither now cana Chinese wall be built to keep the Tartars out. If we foroid people to come here, we will be forbidden to go abroad, and it we stop buying goods from other natjgns they wil biy nothing from uns. Some- thing, however, may be done to check the too free tlowing of jmmigrants into this country, but such a policy would be in contravention of al] our traditions. And yet a necessity ap- pears to exis: fur a new departure in this regard. Labor in Europe is very cheap. and here it isso much more remuneratiye that men are attracted hitherto to obtain‘ work. The depression in business abroad is still greater than it bas been here and the probabilities are that it will be longer continued lu Europe than in America We may look then for another period of restlessness abroad and the enlargement of the streams of immigrants. While the South, being out of the line, will not be affected by such a movement of popula- tion, vet we recognize its undesira ility and suppose that sooner or later some effectual means will be devised to protect American workingmen from this compe- tition with them for work and the Saas to earn a livelihood. But in ary event the South is in no trouble over the mat- ter. Weare quiet, contented and happy; roy prosperous and are not much interested in the result.

Whatever effects labor in one part of the Union must, in time, effect at all over our common country, The support, by those who are over-anxious to get their He has, probably, been deceived hands into the public treasury. If such measures as the Blair Bill are passed, appropriating many millions of dollars from the public Treasury, how can any one expect relief to the people from the infamous Internal Revenue laws and a high Tariff tax? We have never said a word about the constitutionality or unconstitu- tionality of the so-called Blair Educational Bill, but from the time it was first introdu- ced in Congress by that prince of fanatics, Blair of New Hampshire, (whois also in favor of conferring suffrage on the negro women of the South) we have opposed it as injurious to the best interests of the South. In reply to Gov. Vance’s expressions of surprise, we can say that the thirty Dem- ocratic papers in the State and several thousand Democrats who oppose the Blair Bill, are more justified in expressing sur- prise that as true a statesman as he is should support such a measure as the Blair Bill. When Senator Vance was here en Monday, he was asked about his position, He replied substantially that he had no chojce jn the matter; that he Was only carrying out home instructions in votigg for the bill. He also said he had yo doubt but that there was a change of sentiment on the sub. ject. There is also no doubt byt that if this new sentiment finds expression in the next elections, the representatives of this and other Southern States will have an opportunity to cast their votes in opposition to this faudulent and de- ceptive measure. The Home-Democrat again speaks our sentiments when it says: who want We have no cause of i \ AV particular com- plaint against uny man who merely favors the Blair Bill; for we are always willing to accord others the same privilege we a aes A ee measyre. ance fils the air in North Carolina. Itis not confined to the subject under con- sideration, but may be observed in many other matters. Our people need to learn a lesson on this subject. They should accord to others the right to think and act according to their own dictates, and | to present the truth as they see it, without being characterized as enemies of the best interests of the people. The passage of this Blair bill would be the very worst thing that could hap- pen to the white people of the South. re oo Railroads. A cotemporary remarks that “the the railroads have done us some good after all.” Yes, they have don® good to some and damage to others. They have given to the masses the cheaper products of the great manufactories in the northern and eastern States and dried up enterprises that once flourish- ed in every town and at almost every cross roads. Where are the_black- smiths, the shoe makers, the hatters, the tailors, the chair makers, cabinet makers, and others who once supplied the neighborhoods in their respective lines? The tendency of railroads is to centralize trade, and to open up distant markets for the products of factories conducted on a large scale. They fos- ter monopolies, and themselves become monopolies. Where are the hotels which once flourished along the public roads everywhere, and the magnificent four and six horse teams and heavy market wagons that once did the trans- portation of farm products and mer chundise ? Railroads change the busi- ness and social relations of a country amazingly, and it is really a question of idle speculation whether or not the changes wrought by them contribute to or diminish the happiness of the communities affected by them. It is yet a good question for debating socie- ties, notwithstanding every community wants them, and those which have them would not give them up. ~-_-- Don't Do It. Don't do what? Ah! overestimate yourself. There are im every commu- nity one or more persons who are apt to think that the regular course of things within a certain given range depends on them. He may bea clerk, a master workman in a shop, a doctor, a lawyer, or a public official, no matter what, but in his place, he estimates himself as the sum total of the concern; and feels that without him ruin to it is inevitable. It is a pleasing, though avery delusive thought. Many a fel- low has stranded his barque by sailing out of accustomed channels, just to show folks how quickly destraction would come when heleft. He anchor- ed off and waited to sce the desolation, perhaps; but strangely enough some one else glided into his place, and things moved on without him. The sober second thought which ultimate- ly comes does not always bring with it recoyery of lost advantages; nay, but becomes an epoch in the individual’s life, from which he dates subsequent events—the greatest of all, perhaps, be- ing his entrance upon a down grade. It is the error of youth to overestimate one’s self. Beware of it boys, for itis sure to humble you in the end, ee _ Bloody Fight in Virginia. Martinsville, Va., be¢ame the scene of bloody work one day last week. W. K. Terry took offense at an artiele pub- lished in one of the town papers, and attacked the author of it, Mr. P. D. Spencer, a member of the Town Joard, who said to him “don’t shoot;” but just at that moment a pistol was fired by some one present and a fight com- menced in which 40 shots were fired in rapid succession. Terry had two broth- ers present and taking part in the fight. W.K. Terry was shot from be- hind and it is thought was mortally wounded. Jacob his brother, was shot through the abdomen and fell dead. Ben another brother was shot through the neck and in the body. Spencer was shot in the hip, and four other persons badly hurt, one mortally, closed the list of casualities. Two of the lat- ter were hit by stray shots. . The per- sons engaged in this frightful tragedy were men of high social position. It has filled the town with gloom and sorrow. Storms. It is undeniable that storms are more frequent in the Western than in the Southern Atlantic States, and it is but reasonable to suppose that this fact must in time, have its influence in con- trolling the disposition of persons look- ing for a place to settle, The Richmond Whig adverts to this subject for the purpose of urging the claims of Vir- ginia, which is up doubt just.

An election has been ordered in Louisburg, N.C., on the question of prohibiting the sale of intoxicating li- quors. This, it seems, is under the local option law of the Code, which is very similar to that by which nearly all the counties in the State of Georgia have secured prohibition. Wheneyer a ma- jority of the people of any incorporated town, township or county in this State agree to prohibit the sale of intoxicat- ing drinks in their midst, there is noth- ing to prevent their doing it. It is wholly a question of right and will, subject to the same determinate rules that apply to all other subjects of pub- lic discretion and choice. SP losing on Sunday. A special effort is now being made in New York city to compel the closing of storeson Sunday. Business men and citizens generally have put them- selves under special obligation to not only observe the Sunday law them- selves, but to supply a fund for the prosecution of those who violate it. ee eee Heartlessness. One of the ways of making money in New York City, is toswindle foreign iminigrants who arrive at Castle Gar- den. The ways of doing it are various, adapted to the circumstances of each ease. It is generally an easy job, for many of these people are ignorant and unsuspecting. a Mince Pies sold to a lot of boys on the U.S. steamer the “St. Marys,” Mon- day, proved to be poisonous, and pro- duced quite a job for the surgeon of the ship to bring them through safely. There were 12U boys in all on board, and ull of them wanted pie; but only about 30 had the ready dimes to lay down for it, and these were the the sick ones after eating the tempting confection. The hungry ones were sorely bored at seeing others rejoicing in pie and themselves denied it; but in a short time the tables were turned against the tantalizing pie-eaters, and there was quite a scene on that ship. ee It is asserted that the number of damaging strokes of lightning has greatly increased within the last fifty years, and wise men have been consid- ering the causes which have produced the increase.

The Pall Mall Gazette of London, com- menting on the anarchist riot at Chicago and Milwaukee, says that Europe, hav- ing adopted a system of exporting paupers to the United States. is primarily answer- able for the troubles; and secondly, that America has shown fatal kindness in receiving these paupers, and is now reap- ing the results of her folly in_ trying to make American citizens out of the scum of Europe.—Exchange. Instead of devoting all attention to legislation against Chinese immigration, Congress had better stop the influx of scoundrels from Europe who come to this country to make mischief, and have no more appreciation fur true liberty than a dog has. They are the fellows who urged on the Knights of Labor to commit depre- dations and then runaway or hide them- selves to escape punishment. The fact is, it would be better to stop all immigration from Europe, unless we could get a better class of immigrants than have recently come.—Charlotte Dem. ~<a Moral Training. Ifthe State is to provide a system of education for her children, it would seem she ought to make some provision to teach sound moral distinctions, and there- by develop purity of character as well as sheer mental force in her wards. Sucha departure is entirely feasible. There isa code of morals above the rival dogmas of sects on which all stand in fraternal concurrence. Surely there is a practical unfolding and application of the princi- ples of lying, honesty and such like which pertain to righteous conduct in that in- tercourse of one with his fellow men as a member of society, Which may be, and should be, explained to and impressed upon the minds of the young, False con- ceptions of right and wrong about the practical transactions of every day life are rife. Men cheat and steal, and lie and defame, and from bad to worse descend in the scale of demoralization, because they have not becn taught in the begin- ning what truth is in its form and sub- stance. False notions of morality are clung to and practiced with a conscien- tiousness and zeal worthy of a purer cause. Tgnorance of what is right is the reason. But society suffers all the same. If we were to strike froin our list of school books some of our supertiuous arithmetic, geographies and gramunars, which are such a tax vpon the pockets of our peo- ple, as well as a hindrance to epee of our children in learning arithmetics, geography and grammar, and substitute therefor, among other needed studies, a text book on practical snorals, relating to the duties of every day life, it might ap- ear, in the lapse of years, that our pub- ic school system would be Jess open to the charge of evolving too many crimi- nals.—Monroe Enquirer. —___--—~-<po Evans Bros’, Price Current report of the Philadelphia market, quotes sounth- ern eggs at 11} @ 12 cts; Winter chick- ens, live, 17 to 19 cts per lb; dressed, 20 to 25; Spring do. live, 30 to 35; dressed, 40 to 45 per Ib.

The Executive Appropriation bill, as just reported te the House of Representatives, has not provided for 225 Government clerks, and consequently the force must be cut down to that extent. Republicans are panic stricken again, of course, and every Republican office holder feels that his time for dismissal has come. Besides these changes, others are con- templated, which involve a reduction of salaries among Government employees. In the Department of the Intcrior the changes go both ways. The force of the Patent Office is increased; that of the Pension Bureau decreased. Thirty nine more Ex- aminers and eight assistants are added in the former, while in the latter the clerical force will be reduced. Speaking of his request for increased force, the Commissioner of patents said that the work of examining applications tor patents is very much bebind, and inven- tors have been compelled to wait in some cases a good many ionths before the ap- plications could be reached, for the first examination. There are twenty five exam- ining divisions in the Patent Office, some ot which are nine monthsin arrears, and the result is that many inventors suffer in consequence of delay in getting their pat- ents, Commissioner Montgomery claims that with this additional force he can, in a short time, bring the work up practically to date, and then keep it up ‘Phe U.S, Patent Office is not only self supporting, but now turns into the Treasury, through feca, a yearly surplus of $150,000.

The biil gives pensions to all so‘diers of the Union Army, who enlisted for three months, upon their own exertions for support. While discussing Voorbecs thought it might be well to con- sider how much the exactment cf such legislation would take out of the Treasury.

He did not care bow much 2 measure cost the Government, he said, pro- vided he was convinced that it was a just one. And in that rasping ‘’arcastic style which he affects, he criticized the distin- guished Senater from Indiana for stopping to count the cost. The Republican Sena- tors plan may have been a pretty one in the abstract, but Scpnator Voorhees idea was more in sympaths with the spirit of the country that is becoming more prac i- cal and business-like every day. Much bas been said about the failure of the present Congress to accomplish any- thing, but there is little doubt that the House of Representatives will defeat this fantastic pension scheme. By thus check- ing the extravagunce of the Republican Sevate, the Democratic House will make a record for which all people, except the would-be pensioners, will be grateful. ~_>-— —_—_ Leprous subjects sometimes live 40 years after the disease makes its appear- ance—40 years of slow wasting to end in distortions and death. -_-- ONLY HALF ALIVE.

The “time price” in Concord is one dollar a bushel, which is a little above the aver- age at this time of the year.

A gentlemen from China Grove reports great damage done to crops on low lands in that vicinity by the recent rains and | floods; and in all quarters the continued rains have given the grass the start and farmers will have heavy work to head it. ee Senator Vance in Salisbury. Senator Vance spent an hour in our of- fice, on last Monday, telling jokes and examining the WatTcuMAN Cabinet of minerals. It was a jolly time in the office. The Senator is full of jokes and they bubble out very naturally. Among other things he told how he got acquaint- ed witha lot of Chapel Hill boys, when he first started to that institution in 1850. He described the overland journey from Buncombe, through the country to Mocks- ville, Lexington, aud into Rando!ph and finally bringing up at Hillsboro, where he took a new start. He was on top of the stage and had his fiddle box with him. He was mighty lonesome. The other boys all knew each other and were having a good time. They had been to Chapel Hill before and were as chummy and jolly as college boys ever get to be. After awhile the stage stopped at a road-side spring and the boys all vot out to take a drink. Vance could stand it no longer and reaching for his fiddle box, he gave them a lively tune. ’Twant long till they passed up the bottle, and by the time they reached the Hill they knew him better than they did each other.

Among the items of extraordinary out- lays as reported by the Clerk of the Board of Town Commissioners, published in last week’s WATCHMAN, was. this: “Balance of B. HW. Morrison's judgment, | $324.25.” It will be remembered that Mr. Morri- ‘son was injured by a fall occasioned by a ; bad place in the road near the Wesley | Zion College. It was in the corporate limits and he sued the town for damages, the town being responsible for the condi- tion of the road. It was a pretty serious warning to the ! : ! ,town to take good care of its ways; and) as the season for doing good work’ on the istreets is at hand, special attention to this incident in past expericnee may not ibe without profit. The city of Elmira, /N. Y., was recently caught in a very sim- ‘ilar case. The injured man offered to compromise for $500; but the city author- ities would not compromise. He sued, ‘and the Court gave him a judgment for $8,000. “A hint to the wise.” | The very rains of last week have prevented the | best kept streets and roads are not with- | be lout faults which might subject the public ; itreasury to depletion in this way. \ ee = For the Watchman.

Lowrance, of Enochville picked up a gold nugget weighing 6} pennyweights a few days since. Mr. Louis Zimmer, a minning man from Cherokee county was here last week. He isinterested in the gold mines of that county and speaks in flattering terms of them. The WartcHMAN CABINET has lately received some very pretty additions from Mexico. Among them are precious and fire opals from Esperanza, in the State of Queretaro; ornix opal, (anew variety,) chalcedony, and cinabar in quartz, from the State of Jalisco. Nathan Brown picked up, while plow- ing in one of his fields, a gold nugget which weighed 35 grains. It was in a gravelly place, and he thiuks it of suffi- cient importance to justify exploration, which he will do at once. He lives on the Gold Hill road, 6 miles from town. The Franklin Press reports the finding of some very fine mica at the Lyle mine, Macon county. It also reports that a:ter a heavy blast, a larse portion of the tun- nel was filled, from caving over head. Some of the workinen narrowly escaped being caught by the falling earth. A small accident occurred at the Chlo- rination works one day last week. Mr. Jacobs the Superintendent, was strength- ening the acid charge, when Sam, a faith- ful negro hand, was in the act of lifting the cap from the chamber, a blowout of acid occurred, which came near destroy- ing Sam’s eyes, but he fortunately escaped with only slight damage. Burke County. Few, even among men of science, know of the great diversity of minerals in Burke county. It is one of the richest and most varied fields on this continent, as the following list, condensed from Kerr will show; the minerals of thé coun- ty embrace: iron, gold, silver, lead, tetra- dymite, brookite, smoky quartz, chro- mite, anatase, beryl, tourmaline, black and ereen, pyrope, zircon, epidote, fibrolite, coluinbite,samarskite, xenotime, monazite montanite, fergusonite, rutherfordite, tale, tremolite, magnetite, limonite, menac- canite, hematite, tellerium, asbestos, cya- nite, corundum, graphite, rutile, actino- lite, palladium, wolfamite, platinuin, fluorite, albite, kaolinite, itacolumite, py- rophyllite, manganese garnet, titanite, valenite, cerargyrite, psilomelane, graph- ite, serpentine, tale, breunerite chrys- olite, muscovite, crystals in- closing — fluid, with basal plane, quartz crystals smoky, sage- quartz quartz erystals Inite, garnet, cleetrum, lithomarge, and | paragonite. What other district with an area of lonly 489 square miles can present such a list? It will be hard to find a field of so ereat interest in so small aspace any whee. Such a region should not go begging for want of thorough scientific investigation. Hiining Cutlook. The development of mining in North Carolina is slow. A few years ago there Was considerable excitement over min- fine, but the excitement has subsided, leaving a quiet, but progressive and ‘cheering outlook. Speculation has, in a large degree, been abandoned and legiti- mate, economical mining has been gain- ing headway. There isa feeling of con- fidence pervading the circle now which was not felt five years ago. | The Raleigh News-Observer says, in a | kind of laughing-in-my-sleeve way: Back in the 30's there was a rush to the North Carolina gold fields. Later leame the California “tlush times’? and llater still the world went wild over the idiscovery of the Australian “diggings.” | Only a few years ago there was great ex- citement over diamond discoveries near | the Cape of Good Hope, and now, last of ‘all, the wildest stories are tuld of “finds” in Honduras. The field here is as good as it was | lin the °380’s. It is as large and as valua- ‘ble. Millions have been taken out since the days of the ’30’s and thousands are being taken out now every week. There are wa number of mines in the State that jare paying handsomely to-day. True, there is no fuss going on over them—they ;are quietly reaping the golden harvest. | Our esteemed contemporary should keep up with the industry and lend its influ- fence to its encouragement. Probably jnot less than half a million dollars will expended within our borders this year /in the prosecution and development of mining, outside of amounts expendid in the purchase of new properties. ee Mining Stocks. Under this head, A. R. Chisholm & Co, Bankers and Brokers of New York, say: not been very active during the past month and the situation is without new features of interest or significance. The tendency of yalues has been towards a lower level and the whole list has expe- result of the quiet temper of speculation developedany special depressing features. Good mining stocks are not only held source of investment and the dividend list affords ample proof of the steady re- turns that shareholders continue to re- ceive.” ——_—_— Give Us an Arbor Day. _ Sixteen States now have “Arbor Days,” and it is estimated that 5,000,000 of trees are thus annually planted. Every State hould have an Arbor Day.—Exchange. North Carolina needs an Arbor Day.

And suppose every farmer would raise grass or clover, or both, what a glorious, picturesque and rich country this would be. If a woman may sit in a public as- sembly, a theatre, for instance, with her bonnet or hat on, why may nota man sit there with his hat on? In private assemblies both men and wo- men uncover the head. If there is reason for the practice in the latter case, why does it not hold good in the former? And yet women caused the expulsion of a man from a theatre in Now York lately, because he wore his hat during the performance. The Surveyor of Stokes county has been laying off towns at Walnut Cove and Stokesburg, and says that they are to be called “North and South Walnut Cove.” We respectfully suggest that the name is too long for convenience. Call it Shoberton, Friesville, Wilson- burg, or something of the kind in honor of some worthy citizen, living or dead. ——————-x_<-____——_ Heilig’s Mill’s Letter. Mr. Editor:—We were well blessed with rain last week. Considerable damage wag done to plowed and bottom lands, in some places the soil was washed away as decp agit was plowed. About 25 feet of Kitner’s mij] dam was washed away. About 10 feet of Allen Millers’ mill dam had a like experience. It is feared that the wheat will be damaged by rust, though the rain may have knocked it off. Our thieves are original and don’t be- lieve in half doing a thing. Recently some one stole from S. Caster a setting hen and her eggs, and sold them to H. W. Bost of this place. Prof. J. J. Bassinger is an experienced and reliable quarryinan.

The following good advice 1s given by Dr. Benjamin Ward Richardson: The rules for the prevention of senile disease are all personal. They should begin in youth. It should be a rule among grown-up persons never to sub- ject children to mental shocks and un- When, in the sur- ‘roundings of the child life, some grave ‘calamity has occurred, it is best to make the event as light as possible to ts the child, and certainly to avoid thnill- ndw presented to the public ing it with sights and details which ire he stir it to the utmost, and in the end ‘only leave upon the mind and heart incurable wounds and oppressions. Children should never be taken to funerals, nor to sights that cause a sense of fear and dread combined with reat grief, nor to sights which call forth pain and agony in man or in the lower animals. ; To avoid premature old age in ma- ture life, the following are important points to remember: Grief anticipates age. Dwelling on the inevitable past, forming vain hy- potheses as to what might have been if this or that had or had not been, ac- quiring a craze for recounting what has occurred—these acts do more harm to future health and effort than many ‘things connected with real calamity. um this achievement &|Qecupation and new pursuits are the it) uta siines that | best preventives for mental shock and bereavement. Hate anticipates age. Hate keer the heart always at full tension. It gives rise to oppression of the brain and senses. It confuses the whole man. It robs the stomach of nervous power, and, digestion being impaired, the fail- ure of life begins at once. Those, ‘therefore, who are born with this pas- <al-M eee on ane a good many, I fear, are— aH - { tru bist i may est and best pre- should give it up. . : Tavetional derangemtethe| Jealousy anticipates age.

Every- thing that interferes with chastity favors vital deterioration, while the grosser departures from chastity lead- ing to specific and hereditary disease are certain causes of organic degenera- tion and premature old age. Thus chastity is preventive of senile decay. Intemperance anticipates age. ‘The more the social causes of mental and physical organic diseases are investiga- ted, the more closely the origin of de- generative organic changes leading to premature deterioation and decay are questioned, the more closely does it come out that intemperance, often not suspected by the person himself who is implicated in it, so subtile is its influ- ence, is at the root of the evil. When old age has really commenced, its march toward final decay is best de- layed by attention to those rules of WARM SPRINGS. The Property Purchased by @ Wealthy Syndicate and Wast Improvements Made—New Buildings, Pools, Etc. Prof. Henry E. Colton, has just re- turned from Warm Springs, N. C., and left for Nashville. In a brief interview with him the reporter of the Times learned that the new hotel at Warm Springs will be ready for poets early in June, As stated by Prof. Colton the facts about this property are as fol- lows: In December last a syndicate, com- posed chiefly of stockholders of the Richmond & Danville Railroad Com- pany, and called the Southern Im- provement Company, purchased the springs property at $100,000 cash and early in January commenced the work of improvement. The buildings as now erected consist of a main building in Queen Anne style of architecture, 20) feet long by 40 feet wide. At the west end of this is another building, running north, 160 feet long by 32 feet wide. This connects with the old brick building which was the main building of the old hotel. This build- ing, brick below and wood above, is 220 feet long by 40 feet wide. In this will be the ball room, which will be 100 feet long by 40 feet wide, with a complete theatre stage at one end. In addition to these buildings, is a kitchen wing 80 feet long by 32 wide. In these buildings will be 180 sleeping rooms for guests, and two dining rooms, one 100x380, the other 80x40 feet. The main building is_ three stories high, with cellar, basement and mansard roof, and has an elevator for baggage and persons. ings will be lighted with gas, and water will be suppied from a reservoir over 100 feet above the hotel. The bath house is being entirely re- novated, and instead of the old three large pools, will have sixteen smaller ools, made of Georgia marble, each 6 f Q feet in size and each one private to itself. It is intended at some future day to construct a large swimming pool at the new spring, near the old bridge site, 100x060 feet In size. The grounds are being put in order and many of the disfigurements of the old-time place blotted out. — Gova roads are being constructed in every direction over the surrounding country and a first class bridge will be built across the French Broad river. The entire work is under the man- agement of Mr. T. C. Oakman, former- ly of Philadelphia, and later of Fay- etteville, N. C., where he erected the new cotton factory on Pockpox creek. Mr. Wm. Murdock, of Salis- bury, N. C., the well known railroad contractor and bridge builder, has charge of all the brick and stone work, especially the fixing of the baths, and L. B. Houghton, of Worchester, Mass., is the contractor for the con- struction of the hotel. When finished the hotel is to be placed in charge of Mr. B. P. Uhat- field, now keeping the most popular ho- tel at Aiken, 5. C. This enterprise is only a small part of what the Southern Improvement Company ure doing in the South, and it is to be heartily wished that their in- vestments will prove remunerative to them, as they will undoubtedly be of great benetit to the people of the South and tend to enhance the value of all property in the neighborhood of their operations.— Chattanooga Times.

In 1860 he went to Arkansas penniless, and went to work ona farm. He is now president ef the First National Bank of Pine Bluff, and has 12,000 acres of cotton in cultiva— tion. He owns three large stores and a railroad 26 miles in length, all of which runs through bis plantation. He is now building another railroad 42 milesin length through his plantations. Mr. Neil’s wealth is estimated at $3,000,000. Recently he advanced tu one person $96,000.

Stoneham, Mass., May 15.—Carrie Dodge, & preposesing girl of 14, left home on the 4th inst. and has not been seensince. She is a girl of light complexion, with light brown, silky hair, bright blue eyes and ofa rol- licking disposition. She was greatly in- terested in a band of dirty gypsies encamp- ed near the town, and was a frequent visitor there. Among the gypsies was a swarthy young man with fascinating black eyes, whom the others regarded as a leader. Carrie was greatly attracted by him, and was also an admirer of the queen of the band, a gray—-headed, round-shouldered old hag, who told fertunes from a greasy pack of cards. It is supposed that the young gypsy fell in love with Carrie, and that through the instigation of the old queen, Carrie was induced to leave home and cast her lot with them. SN ea Two Indian Skirmishes. Tucson, Aniz., May 17.—It is tele- graphed from Huachuca that while in pursuit of Geronimo on Saturday, Cap- tain Hatfield came upon the band, and fought with them for an hour. Two of Hattield’s command were killed and three wounded. It is not known how many Indians were killed. Gov. Torres has just received a dis- patch from the perfect of Guaymas, stating that Gen. Martinez routed the Yaquis from their stronghold in Sierra Batade on’ the 18th, killing 100 and capturing 200. The Mexicans lost 20 killed and 50 wounded. Cajeme escap- ed. This ends the Yaquis war. 2p ae Stop Immigration. An interesting phase of the industrial question now agitating the country is the growth of sentiment in favor of preventing fulther immigration. Several newspapers have advocatcd the adoption of this policy. The outbreak of the anarchists and the revelation made concerning the mnporta- tion of laboring men to Pennsylvania seem to have inspired a good many people, for— eign born as well as native, tbat perhaps the country is choked and needs a little time to absorb its present foreiyn popula— tion.

Interesting Chapter on Horses. | | | Mit Bringer, May 25th, ‘86. | Dear Sir:—As I promised you some- time since a sketch of the world-fa- | mous “Percheron-Norman Horse,” | | now offer you the following points re- | garding his history. The great favor | these horses have received every where land especially in the west is sufficient warrant for going into some detail. About the beginning of the 19th }century, the Frankish war-horse, com- posed of the blood of the European blacks, the Persian Lombardy grays and the Arabian and Afmean bays, reached a high state of excellence in northern France. The Norman people, with characteristic energy, having the best of stock to start with and the fin- est territory in the French doninions, in a few years were able to show the largest and finest horses in Europe. Having originated in Normandy, and Perche being a part of Normandy, this breed of horses is sometimes called the *Percheron-Norman.” In later years, when the Norman's conquered Eng- land and established their rule over her, the Norman horse was introduced in the British Isles, and was improved in some poimts, by the infusion of the blood of the beautiful Persian grays of Lombardy. For many years thereafter, tne Norman Kings puid great attention ‘to the improvement of this splendid animal, and took great pride in culti- | vating his style and qualities. At this i time he was bred entirely for war and ‘the chase, but about the year 1600 he began to be used for the cultivation of ithe soil. His weight, endurance, mus- cular power, strength of bone, lithe ac- ition and great intelligence were found to be the precise qualities for the har- ness. He became the progenitor of all the work-horses now known to the ‘civilized world; the Clyde of Scotland, ithe English draft horse, and others of lless vote, all came from this source. | He has been bred for toil for more than 250 years, and is, therefore, less fleet of foot than when he was used as a steed of war. He is still the most sprightly and of best action of his weight in the | known world. Mr. John E. Russell, Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agnicul- ture, said in one of their meetings a few weeks ago that “the Norman horse was one of the most important breeds of horses raised in the known world. They are very much like our Morgan horse was 40 years ago, except they are two or three sizes larger. They ‘look just us the Morgan horse would if | they were ideal size. They have their |quick action, that no other family of ‘horses have had; they are of early ma- I turity; can be put to work and without 'fear of injury, when they are from 18 | months to 2 years old.” Prof. James M. Hiatt, in his history of the Norman horse, speaks of him as the great horse which, by the Norman French cavalry, was ridden to glory on every Kuropein field cf medieval times; the great horse before whose charge, in the first crusade, the Moslem cavalry Were uriven like chaff before a hurn- cane; the great horse on whose back the warriors of Normandy conquered England, controled France and long held the whole of Europe in awe. But In Ouer Lo show ital tue Norma. hor e can travel with other breeds, w: wil turn a moment to trials made o: trot ng tracks in France. The aver- age ume of 31 horses at Montague, o1 a track 1 5-6 imiles in length, was sir minutes and forty seconds; at Ilides, on a 2 mile track, the average time of 40 horses was seven minutes and twen- ty seconds; at Courtlain; the average time of 65 horses for 24 miles was nine minutes and fifteen seconds and at Rouven “Decidei” trotted 2 3-5 miles, drawing 408 pounds, in ten minutes. As an illustration of the endurance of the Norman on the road there is au- thentic record that a gray mare 7 years old belonging to a party in France, was trotted 60 miles in less than 5 hours, over a hilly and rough road, and and she did this two days in- suc- cession without a whip. Many such examples of endurance could be given were it necessary. ‘To show how the endurance of the Norman is appreciated in England, the following trom = an eminent Mnglish writer, in the British Quartely Journal of Agriculture, 1s to the point: “Lhe horses of Normandy are a capital race for hard work and scanty fare. I have never seen such horses at the collar. ‘hey are endur- ing and energetic beyond description. With their necks cut to the bone they flinch not—they put forth all their et- forts at the voice of the driver, or at the dread sound of the whip. ‘They keep their condition when other horses would die of neglect and hurd treat- nent.” FARMER. ae ee Industrial Education. Experience has shown that manual work is not distateful to schoolboys, but that, on the contrary, they like it, and soon begin to take pride in their acquired skill of hand, and that such studies help rater than retard mental studies, particularly if they are pursued under the direction of intelligent teachers, able to make use of the rela- tions always existing between the book studies and the bench work. — Experi- ence has also shown a strong tendency on the part of teachers to attach undue importanee to theoretical studies at the expense of shop work, thus making the industrial schools engineering col- leges rather than shops for the train- ing of workmen. ‘Thus tendency needs to be counteracted. The advocates of these schools do not think, as some people suppose, that boys can be made skilled mechanics in them. Before a boy or young man heeomes a master workman in any trade he must have an amount of shop practice that no school can provide. But it can prepare the boys to become good mechanics, with comparatively little practice in the shops; 1t can in- spire them with respect and love for mechanical work, can instruct them in the foundation principle of the con- siractive arts—drawing—and cun train their eyes to see things and their hands to promptly and skillfully obey the: will. This kind of education is all perhaps that a school can accomplish, but it is sufficient to give the boy who receives it a good start in hife.—Phila- delphic Ledger. >< a The General Assembly. On Thursday last the General As- sembly of the Presbyterian Church in the South met at Augusta, Ga. This 1s the highest judiciary of that influential denomination. It meets annually and it represents a large and unusually in- telligent membership. It has thirteen Synods and sixty-nine Presbytertes. Its ministers are well educated. All have to take a regular theological course and to be scholars in Greek and Hebrew. Many of its ministers are eminent for learning, for ability, for mental power, for eloquence. A Church that numbers among its. clergy such ‘men as Drs. Reade, Hoge, B. M. Smith, Preston, Moore, Miller, Giraudeau, Palmer, Dabney, J. R. Wil- son, and fifty others of marked ability, who could be named, is compelled to be a great power for usefulness, for mould- ing public opinion, and for up-building the Kingdom of Christ on earth. Che General Assembly was organized in 1861, the war necessitating such a course. [t began with fifty-five minis- ters and now it has about one thousand ministers, two thousand one hundred and thirty-five thousand communicants. There are now living thirty-eight of those who were at the organizition. Rev. Dr. Wilson was of the number. During the past year it raised $27-, 500 for sustentation;.for evangelistic work, $19,043; for invalid fund $10-, 707; for colored evangelistic work $1,312. Sixteen colored ministers and seminary students were aided. During the year 44 chureh buildings and $ manses were erected. Foreign mis- sions receipts were $73,170.27. There are 54 missionaries, £5 native helpers, with 1,616 communicants. For publi- cation cause $6,861.07 was raised. Bonds redeemed $5,350. Donations $1,889.69. Probably Dr. Woodrow's case will he the most exciting event of the session. He is to be tried for supposed views upon evolution that mihtate against th» teaching of the Word of God.— Wilmington Star. Incident at a Golden Wedding. St. Paul’s Pioneer Press. A touching little incident occurred at the Van Cleve golden wedding recently. One of the gifts to the bride of fifty years was a very pretty but old-fash- toned lady’s gold watch, and it was ob-| served that upon none of the presents | did the General and his wife look with ! fonder eyes than upon this. The story | many antagonisins. Regent Fitch on Journalism. Irw#acaA, May 21.—Hon. Chas. E. Fitch, editor of the Rochester Democrat, has closed his course of lectures to the stu- dents of Cornell University. One of his subjects was ‘‘Journalism as a_profes- sion.” Mr. Fitch thought that Cornell ought to confer a degree in journalism. The profession demands singular conse- cration, special fitness, severe training and generous culture. Tried by the range of its acquirements it surpasses all other professions. Journalism, like Jor- dan, is 2 hard road to travel. Persistent plodding and hard work are required of every one connected with a newspaper, from the editor to the latest reporter. The journalist of necessity is a man of Vhat has been leaked out that this was the very watch | printed will come up in judgment against which nearly fifty years ago, Lieut. Van Cleve had presented to his bride. In the “tight times” which followed it was found necessary to dispose of the | watch for “ready money,” which was | then a scarce article. And so the| watch was sold. The purchaser had wlways sacredly preserved it, and was thle consequently, at the golden wed- ding, to make the most delightful gift of the day. >> ae The. M E.

Key re- ceived 126 votes, Fitzzcrald 36, Wilson 21, balance scattering. Bishop Keener declared Dr. Key clected. a ai aes Lee's Reputation. Mr. Chapin, of Richmond, Va., says: “Mr. Tom Alfriend toid me that shortly atter the war he bore a proposition to Gen. Lee from an insurance company of New York, offering him $20,000 a year if he would allow the use of his name as Southern manager. Gen, Lee declined, saying that he could not consent to take any money he did not earn, He added that if his reputation was what they wished to bur that it did not belon, to him, but to his peo- pie—to the soldiers who had carned it on) the battle fields of Virginia.” eee About the Bride's Clothes. The President is under suspicion at Buf- falo, New York. Some women in his town have held a meeting and passed resolutions in which they complain that Miss Folsom should buy her wedding outttt in Europe, and declare that if) the bride's outtit made it Paris instead of Buffalo they will defeat hisnomination in 188s. Phere now! Mr. Cleveland would do well to surrender at onee. It is astonishing how much ot stupidity and spirit of intermending there is in the wortd. is —_—_—_ ~~ - It Should be Done. Trinity College ought to be endowed generously. It is not creditable to the intelligence and liberality of the Methodists ot North Carolina that this institution has not been phiced upon a broad foundation.

The offering of the Russian girls to Rubinstein was a large and very hance some wreath, while that of the Ameri- ean girls was a beautiful basket of roses with ribbons of the national col- ors attached to the handle. But the gracious and kindly courtesy of the vreat Italian composer Verdi was not imitated by the German pianist. “Flowers,” quoth Rubinstein, “are all bosh.” And that was the only notice he vouchsuted to take of either wreath or basket. { He must be an old bear. ] or SO Items from State Immigration Dep't.

FARMERS COME AND SEE McCORMICH’S 1886 Improved No. 2 IRON MOWER Rezarded as the most perfect one ever con- structed, It has many points of excellence to commend it to the American Farmer. Some of which are as follows: Havins enlarzsed wheels it has guéte an easy draft, The weight has been reduced several hundred pounds. A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries the weight of the cutter bar and prevents any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead wheel forms a perfect protection to the pitman and can be set higher or lower, as may be required in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut is very desirable. Another important feature in this Mower is that the cutting apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impozsible. This isa weak point in most mowers, and very often overlooked in purchasing, though the detect reveals itself by use. It is provided with the same kind of wooden pitiman as described particularly in the remarks about the regular IRON MO\WER: It is a Machine that will -tand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most difficult) places in a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give specd to the knife. TI DAISY, A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially for those who own small farms. It isa center cut, one-wheeled reaper, cutting five feet wide, having the main wheel on a line with the small grain wheel, the advantages of which can be seen by the ease with which it can be backed or turned, By the use of one lever, both ends of the platform can be raised or lowered to any desired height of cat, while another lever tilts the cutting edge to the angle required to pick up leaning: or fallen grain, These changes can be made by the driver in his seat, with the machine in motion, There is no cog gearing in the main wheel to gather dirt and straw, as the mo- tions of gearing, raking, acd tripping de- viees arc all well timed and positive, en- abling the operator to size the bundies to suit the grain, its whole operation wiil be found simple, positive and reliable. But of his many Improvements McCOR- MICK’S STEEL HARVESTER AND BINDER is the acknowledged Type and Pattern for all Harvesting Machines and stands unexceled, unequaled and unri- yaled in its design, construction and yalue as a RELIABLE HARVESTING IM- PLEMENT.

ITS DISEASES AND CORE. This class of troublesome complaint em- braces a large list, some of which afflict nearly every family in the land. Hereto- fore the treatment of néarly all these dis- eases has been very unsatisfactory and unsuccessful, and the people bave been very much deceived by pretended remedies, A majority are caused by an impurg, viti- ated condition of the blood, an& ostof the blood remedies of the day reqnire 50 to 100 bottles Lefore you discover that they will not effect a cure, we offer B.B.B., which makcs positive cures by the use of only a few Lottles. The most common of the skin diseases which are cured by the use of B. B. B., the only quick Blood Purifier, are as follows. Eczema, Old Ulcers, Impetigo, Abscesses, Erysipelas, Dry Tetter, Ringworm, Carbuncles, Bealdhead, Itching Humors, Pruritus, Blotches, Old Soreg, Herpes, Pimples, Boils, Itch, Splotches. Beautiful Complexion. is sought by the use of cosmetics and all sorts of external applicants, some of them being poisonous, All females love to look pretty (which gentlemen do not object to) and a smooth, soft, clear complexion adds greatly to fe- male charms. The use of B. B. B. will purify your blood, will remove blotches, splotches and bumps that appear upon the face and neck, and will tinge the pale cheek with the roseate hues of nature. One or two bottles will convince any one of its value. No family should fail to keep B. B. B. in the house, as there is no family medicine its cqual, Rheumatism. One author says: “Rheumatism is due to the presence in the blood of a vegetable organism of definite character.” Another says: “It is due to the presence ofa poisonn in the blood which of the natnre of a miasm,” The disease having its origin in the blood, it is reasonable to suppose that it must be cured by remedies directed to the blood. A successtul remedy must produce cer- tain changes in the composition of the blood, and when this has been accomplish- ed, all pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why exter- n: 1] applications fall to produce permanent Te lef But we now have the remedy which acts like magic in giving relief to ull forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart. It also cures syphilitic and mercurial pains and rheumatism in an incredibly short time. The fact cannot be denied that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has proven itself to be the most speedy and wonderful remedy for all forms of rheumatism ever before known, Those who were prostrated in bed and could not get about. have been cured. Men with two crutches, and hobbling along with stiffened and painful joints, withered flesn, loss of sleep and appetite, are cured by the use of B. B.B. Cast aside all other remedies, use B.B.B. and you will soon have no use for erutches, Many who rend this will refuse to be cured by the use of BL BoB, but we advise all such to drop us a postal card for our Book of Wonder, free, which is filled with startling proof of cures made here at home. It ulso contains full information about blood and skin diseascs, which everybody should read, Address Blood Balm Company, Atlanta, Ga., and you may be made happy. Kerosene Oil! ENNISS’ Drug Store.

But let those who un- dertake to compete with the saw re- member that slovenly work is a warran- tee of failure. Every shingle should be a model in finish and quality of tim- ber, and thus made they would drive out the sawed work. There is yet large quantities of good shingle tim- and it ought not to be spoiled with the saw. ae ae aoe Driven Wells It is no uncommon thing in some parts of the country for farmers and others to make what is known as driven wells in aday or two. Tron piping from 2 to 3 inches in diameter, with a perforated foot piece, is driven down into the yround until water is struck, and then a pump attached to it and the well is completed. Wells of this kind are in use at Newbern, in this State, and in many parts of the country where water may be found at the depth of from 20 to 40 feet. The only attempt ever made to construct one here, proved a failure, and it is probable that the geological conditions are not favorable to such an enterpnise. In acountry where brick, stone and labor are abundant and cheap, and there is no need of haste, but rather to do permanent work, a dug well is the surest, and will give more satisfaction in the end. Mr. Abbett, formerly pro- prietor of the Boyden House, spent many days in making a driven well for the use of the Hotel. He struck a small fountain at the depth of about 35 feet, but finding it insufficient, drove down 60 feet further and struck a rock, which, with the means at com- mand, proved impassable, and there the work stopped. His experiment was not without value. however, to those who choose to learn from the exper- ience of others, and it is for their bene- fit the subject is menticned at this time. SS 28 OS - o - Progress of Industrial Electricity. Under this caption the Scientific American describes a new process for making the moulds or male forms on which it is desired to make copper ves- sels uf almost any shape desired. They are made cf refined wax, parafine or similar substance, and afterwards ren- dered conductive, by the electrotyper’s process, and then immersed in a copper solution, and connected electrically with advnamo. The dynamo is set in motion and the “growth” of the vessel begins, by the deposit of the copper in solution on the mould. The thickness and strength of the vessel depends on the power of the dynamo and_ the length of time the mould is kept in the solution. The dynomos in common use now are of feeble power, and it re- quires hours to make a deposit of say 1-16 inch thinkness. But the Brush people of Cleveland, are now building one which will have the capacity of depositing 315 pounds of copper per hour—38,150 pounds in ten hours. Thus, it will be seen that the usual process of manufacturing copper ves- sels out of sheet copper is in danger of | ing supersceded by the use of elec-| tricity, which produces them without a seam or rivet, and in less time than is required with the present machinery. There can be no doubt that the Brush dynamo, and the patented process of making moulds as above described, scores a marvelous change in copper manufac- turers. eee eee “Fire in the Rear.” Under this significant caption the New York Sfar notices at some length new developments of public opinion in Pennsylvania on the subject of a pro- tective tariff. We quote from it ag) follows: The protectionists have succeeded in | deluding the workingmen for a good | many years. Recently they have preten- ded that their tariff system is solely for the benefit of the wage earners, It is in- teresting to learn, therefore, that in the | very center of the protection conspiracy the workingmen are turning against the iupon them. The deception has been dis- 'coyered by the textile workers of Phila- Fhey are only medium in |delphia, and ina remarkably strong ad- | Was ill, and had gone to his son’s house | | dress to the ways and means committee stop to, will have to seek other occupa tions.” Thus the people of the country who pay the tariff on wool goods consumed by them obtain a glimpse of the tricks resorted to by northern Manufacturers to enrich themselves at the expense of consumers. The intention of a protec- tive tariff was to build up factories at home. The practice of the manufac-4 tuaers is to import unfinished fabrics at a low price as “damaged” goods and put the finishing touch on them here, and send them out as American fabrics. Weavers standing around waiting for work, or tailing at tow rates, denounce the practice aud the tariff under which it exists, as a faaud and oppression on them; and it is equally a fraud on the people who pay protection rates for goods which are manufactured in Eng- land. eee a Romanism. The Catholic Mirror of Baltimore, the highest newspaper representative of Romanism in this country, has sug- gested an alliance of Christian churches so as to resist more effectually the ag- gressive influences of unbelief. The idea doubtless came of the effort Pro- testant Christians are making in this direction, and is based on the proposed common ground, that “any religion is better than no religion.” It is believ- ed that the Mirror's liberal spirit would not be sustained by the Pope, nor by its church, for a moment. The anathe- mas of the Catholic church against Protestants have been more relentless than against infidelity or unbelief; and there is nothing in either its present attitude or its past history to afford Protestants any encouragement to ex- pect a change of policy except where the Pope's advantage is to be thereby promoted. ee A Christian College for China. The N. Y. Observer notes the im- portant fact that a number of Chris- tian gentlemen have been organized and incorporated as an association for the purpose of establishing in China a Christian College. The scheme has the hearty approval and aid of a large number of Christian people. The Board of Foreign Missions of the Pres- byterian church has adopted a minute endorsing the enterprise as an import- ant aid to the missionary work; and many distinguished people, including two who have been U.S. Ministers to at the Court of Pekin, warmly encour- age it. The trustees of the proposed College have named the sum of $300-, OOO as necessary for its endowment, and have appointed the Rev. A. P. Happer, D. D. to receive and _ solicit funds. His address will be, Mission House, 23 Center Street, New York, No. ere ae The Fraud of the Age. Its great fun to see the supporters of Blair’s Educational grab bill halt, quake and take to their heels when that old fraud steps up with his pension bills. He is a most deliberate grabber into the treasury. He acts as rf its millions were his personal property and that he was in duty bound to appro- priate it all to some purpose, good or bad. He is unfortunate in lighting on the bad, generally, and while his asso- ciates in Congress apparently overlook- ed the bad as long as_he was reasona- ble in his demands, yet his free and easy notions of depleting the national treasury have at last caused his com- peers to draw the line. He is a great old fraud eyery way you take him. ——_ —~<m- —- Panama Canal. M. Rousseau, the delegate appointed by the French Government to inspect the work on the Panama Canal, has made a report which is more unfavor- able than that of Hon, John Bigelow, who assisted at the inspection in behalf of the New York Chamber of Com- merce, as noticed in this paper two weeks ago. The work must drag for a longer time than any yet fixed for its completion, if indeed it is ever finished. ee ee Diphtheria is known to be contageous especially by contact.

Mr. Curtis’ connection with the trial of Snow for polygamy, has been the means of converting him to the Mormon faith, if he may be judged by his reported argument in the case. Don't know that Mr. Curtis wants a plurality of wives, but he de- fends the practice. The owners of Brighton beach race course have commenced suits against pool-sellers and gamblers who have set up business on the race grounds.

Men who are honest, will condemn wrong in friend or foe, in them- selves as well as others. Men whose con- sciences are as steady as the needle to the pole. Men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reels. Men who can tell the truth and look the world and the devil right in the eye. Men that neither brag nor run. en that neither flag nor flinch. Men who can have courage without shooting for it. Men in whom the courage of ever- lasting life runs still, deep and_ strong. Men who know their message and tell it. Men who know their own business. Men who will not lie. Men who are not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor. Men who are willing to eat what they have earned, and wear what they have paid for.”’ UNDIGESTED FOOD In the stomach develops an acid which stings the upper part of the throat and palate, causing “heartburn.” ~ It also evol- vesagas which produces “wind on the stomach,” and a feeling and appearance of distention in that organ after cating.

The General Assembly, at Augusta, pass- ed the following majority report: To several overtures on the subject of evolution of man sent up by the Presbyte- ries, the General Assembly returns answers as follows: The Church remains at this time sincerely convinced that the scriptures as truly and authoritatively expounded in our “confession of faith’ and catechism teach that Adam and Eve swere created body and soul by the immediate act of the Almighty Power, thereby preserving per- fect race unity. That Adam’s body was directly fashioned by Almighty God with- out any natural animal parentage of any kind, out of matter previously created of nothing, and that any doctrine at variance therewith isa dangerous error, inasmuch as by the method of interpreting the scriptures which it must demand and in will involve, it will lead to a denial of the doctrines fundamental to faith. _ Cee nays ae ONDY TEALE ALITY &.

But a change has taken place. On last, Saturday the procession headed by a band | playing a dirge, marched out to the ceme- tery, where a hymn was sung and a pray- , er offered, and returning to the court- | house closed the exercises. Rev. J. C. Price did the initiative, and J. C. Dancy, Editor of the Star of Zion, made the ad- dress, which is spoken of as a good speech, abounding in good advice to the darkeys. The streets were crowded as_ usual. | The town darkey put on ‘‘considerable lugs’ while the country negro seemed content with cheap cigars and rubbing the Mayor during the day, which speaks : > Hillarious Picnicers. The pupils of the Methodist church were given a picnic Tuesday morning last at Dunn’s Mountain, 3 miles south- east of town. It required about a dozen -arriages and wagons to convey the par- ty, and they together made up quite a gay procession, and attracted much at- tention as they passed through the prin- cipal streets of the town. There was one Studbaker wagon filled with boys from 12 years down—about sixteen of them—who did not seem to know or to care, wheth- er they were on their heads or on their feet, and they were piping as gleefully as so many black birds ina tree top. It was the anticipation of pleasure that thrilled them, for there was nothing in the wagon to the smallest degree enjoya- ble, and yet they could neither sit nor stand still one instant. There was a full attendance of Teach- ers, Superintendents and Seniors, to con- stitute the negative of the human mag- netic battery, so that there is reasonable hope that the proceedings and enjoy- the laws of safety and propricty. ~<- Changing the Gauge. Last Saturday morning, at 4 o'clock, a. m., six hundred men scattered along the line of the Western North Carolina rail- road, began to remove the rails and spike them down to fit the new guage. Capt. MeBee had carefully arranged the details, so that each section knew just what it was expected to do. Very naturally these sections were stimulated into a kind of rivalry, each trying to get through This spirit hastened the work, so McBee was noti- first. that at 10:50 a. m,. Capt. tied by telegram that the work on the whole line. of more than 200 miles had been completed. Immediately a freight car was started from Salisbury for the purpose of distributing freight cars, as} all the cars on the line had been hauled | in. This was a wonderful piece of work and reflects greatly to the credit of Capt. McBee. But that gentleman’s reputation is not confined to spasmodic efforts, like the quick work recorded; he is persistently quick, and has, without doubt, the best trained and quickest force under him that ean be found on any road. Take his bridge builders for instance; they ac- complish more than twice as much as a similar force on other roads. The break in the Yadkin river bridge affords an ex- ample. The work was moving along at such a snail’s pace that General Superin- tendent Thomas telegraphed Mr. McBee to come and bring his bridge force. Col. | Thomas had seen them at work in the mountains. The result was, that after their arrival on Sunday, trains were pas- sing over the bridge on Monday after- noon. Mission Band's Party.

Guy, in the Southern Planter. - silage is no humbug, but has come to peat has now been faithful tried for s veral years, und all practical farmers who have tried it joi me in the same verdict—that it is ood, and that we can’t afford to do without it. There are yet some doubtful ones who think that it is too expensive; that it will do for men of large means, but that small farmers cannot afford such \things. This is entirely a mistake; a ‘silo to hold ensilage can be built more icheaply than a barn to hold the same qnantity of sun-cured hay, and they can be built of stone, brick, concrete, timber or dirt. Where the clay is clear of stone, a pit dug in it and prop- ly drained and sheltered will keep it nicely, and for weight, there is plenty conveniently at hand. Cover your en- silage with boards, throw on a foot of earth, and you will have all the weight you want; it is better than stone, bar- rels of earth or gravel, as it more effect- ually excludes the air. Ensilage of corn should be planted in May, so as to be ripe by the latter part of August or early in September; then you have more leisure to cut, haul and put away than you do later. It isn when fully silked and tasseled, with the sugar in the stalk, but before that it is tasteless. It should be cut down and allowed to remain for four or five days before hauling to the pit, and it should always be cut up as it is put in, as it keeps much better and, packs more evenly than if put in whole. The stalks should be cut into pieces from 2 to 24 inches inches in length, and if allowed to dry for a few days before cutting up, they lose their watery sap and make better ensilage. I have tried cutting them up for the pit immediate- ly after cutting down the stalks in the field, but I found that with so much watery sap they invariably became very acid and did not make good en- silage. ‘There are other materials than corn —rye cut in the bloom, clover, pea- vines, almost any kind of green grass— which makes excellent ensilage. Soa A Straightened Genius and an Admiring Pawnbroker. Detroit Free Press. A man with a bundle under his arm called at a Michigan Avenue clothing store the other evening and hesitatmg- ly inquired if the proprietor ever bought second-hand clothing. “Vhell, I puys sooch garments vonce ina while. Vas you Sheneral in der last war?” “No, sir.” “Dot makes it badt. I could pay you two dollar for dot coat if you vasa Sheneral, and maybe zoniebaly gif me four.

The only thing I ever invented was an excuse.” “Vhell you see how it vhas? If you vhas some celebrated man your old clothes would go off like hot cakes. If you vhas nobody den nobody puys ‘em. How much you vhant for dot coat?” “Three dollars.” “Tree dollar! Say, you go right oudt my blace! I doan’ haf some time to fool away mit lunatics!” “Give me two.” “Two dollar!

But the heart, espe- cially of . the aged, is only the more ively broken by this stifling of its pain. Colnel Dyde, eighty years old, was summoned in Montreal to testify a- gainst his own son for forgery. “Do you know the prisoner,” asked the counsel for the defence. “Ido. ‘The prisoner is my only liv- ing son.” “Do you know Eckersdorff?” “Yes. - He was my son’s partner.” As Colnel Dyde spoke the last words his face grew suddenly white. He gave a great gasp, fell back against the wall behind the box, then sank in a heap on the floor. Those who looked on sup- posed he had fainted. A doctor who was in court made his way to the side of the colnel, and after making an ex- amination, he pronounced him dead. The news spread rapidly, causing the utmost consternation. Many cried. The prisoner clapped his fnide wild- ly to his head and burst into tears. The body was carried out of court. Judge Ramsey ordered the jury to retire, then left the bench, with his handkerchief to his eyes. Shortly afterwards he ad- journed the court. TE OO OE Little Mrs. Dodds. HOW SHE PROVED HERSELF A WOMAN OF GREAT NERVE. Detroit Free Press. Soon after the close of the civil war, and when the West was a great deal wilder than it is now, several of us took the stage one day from Austin to Eureka, Nevada. As a matter of fact, there were five men and one woman, a dumpy little body with rosy face and blue eyes, whose name was Mrs. Dodds. She lived in Eureka, and was returning home after a visit. The stage route had been clear of road agents fora long time, but as a matter of ceremony each man carried a revolver 10 a holster belted around him, and there may have been two or three bowie-knives in the crowd. We got away from Austin in good shape, and in an hour we were all pretty well ac- quainted. Nothing of particular in- terest happened during the day or through. the evening, but about 9 o'clock at night, while most of us were half usleep, the stage came to a sud- den halt, and a clear voice rang out: “If you move a foot I'll send a_bul- let through your head! Inside the stage there! No nonsense, now! Hand those pistols out butt foremost!” He threw the door open and covered everybody with the muzzle of his re- volver. Stage passengers have been called cowards for permitting them- selves to be “held up” by one man. The time between the stoppage of the stage and the opening of the door was so brief that none of us could have pulled a pistol. After that, to have oiade a motion would have been to in- vite a shot. Any one of us would have been a fool to resist. “Step down here!’ commanded the agent and one by one we “stepped.” As each man descended he maleic pis- tol and Jaid it on the ground, and then took his place in line. “Oh! a woman here!” said the agent as Mrs. Dodds started to come down. “You may remain in the coach. [| don't rob women.” She settled back, and he turned to us, a pistol in each had, and briskly re- marked: “Now, then, time is money. Kach of you gents shell out, and place the boodle on the ground. The man who attempts to swindle me will get a dose of lead.” We began to shell. I stood nearest . the coach, at the head of the line, and I placed watch and wailet on the ground. As I straightened up I saw little Mrs. Dodds moving about in the coach. In a few seconds the barrel of a revolver rested against the side of the open door. The agent had his left side to the coach, and was about twelve feet away. If the woman missed him she would cer- tainly hit one of the men in line. She must know this, and I doubted if she would take the chances. “Come, don’t be slow about called the agent. it!” “At this rate you 'won't get into Eureka fora week! I yp? want At that instant there wasa flash and «a report, and he leaped clear off his feet and fell to the ground in a heap. We grabbed our pistols and rushed upon him, but he was as dead as a nail. The bullet from her revolver had struck him full in the ear and he ney- er knew-what hit him. We turned to the coach, and there was little Mrs. Dodds crying just like a woman, while the smoking revolver lay onthe seat. We just lifted her down and hugged her as if we were her five brothers, for she had saved the crowd a matter of $18,000. We couldn't press a present upon her but when we got to Eureka we made yesterday was unavodabel. Her shoes ‘sore throte.

When they ewere seated the sound ceased. When they moved their feet, the music began again. I asked a friend if it was a music box carried in the pocket. She said the women were from Philadelphia, where it is now all the rage to carry umbrellas with gor- geous coverings and to wear three gar- ters two red ones and one yellow one, and the yellow one is worn on the left leg. To the yellow one is attached a little silver sleigh bell, for luck. a A Progressive Farmer. Advancement in farming must keep pace with the ferward movements of oth- er occupations. A farmer cannot afford to allow his business to stand stiil. His farm must improve—in well kept fence rows and fences, in clean, well cultivated, well-drained fields, and in good substan- tial buildings. His land must give each year increased crops. And, finally, his pecuniary receipts must show a net gain each year, or else the farm methods, aud even the farmer himself, are deteriora- ting, and a change mnst come sooner or later. A farmer’s life is made up in vigi- lant watching, constant care and study. If he slacks up on either, something will fail to receive proper attention. ro ie me The Farmer's Boy. New Haven Register.

How dreamlike are the memories of ithe Confederate war. As to count- |less and terrible scenes of the bloody four years, many a poor heart may well ery out, Oh that I could forget them! But that reign of agony, blighting and death—like all great chapters in human history—was crowded with illustra- tions of grand truths that cannot be too faithfully cherished or tvo earnestly inculcated. But it is not my purpose to paint a ‘picture of any of the thrilling events that made the desperate struggle so awful and so memorable. I turn rather to a simple story of what happened in days of comparative quiet, and seek an unexeiting but valuable lesson from a few days in the life of one of North Carolina’s bravest and noblest sons. In the autumn of 1861 I was for a short time connected as chaplain with the 6th regiment of N. Carolina troops. The regiment was then encamped a few miles from the Potomac, on a road ‘leading from Dumfries to Bacon Race. The heroic Col. Fisher having fallen at Manassas, W. D. Pender was appointed ‘to the command. His training at West /Point and in the army had developed (lis natural thoughtfulness and love of system and devotion to duty. A strict idisciplinarian, he taught obedience to orders by his own unswerving example | as well as by a faithful exercise of his authority. Soon after I reached the regiment I was quite sur | prised by the Colonel's seeking a direct jinterview with-me on the subject of personal religion. I found that he was [ceepy concerned about his spiritual condition, and that he was availing himself of the lull in the storm to ex- amine the all important question, and to secure, if possible, an assurance of his reconciliation with his God. He knew what war was and he evidently had serious convictions that he was approaching a tremendous conflict. He had fought the Indians in the far West. I remember his stating that in one engagement with them the troops fired sixty rounds before the fight end- ed. He knew that hard fighting meant wounds and death; and he knew that hard fighting was coming. He expect- ed to be true to duty; and was sure that that would lead him where death held high carnival. If need be, he was going to die for his country; and he WHITE Goons.

HW. ADAMS, wished to be ready to die. A more de- liberate and concerned spirityal effort | have never witnessed. I reeall him now as he came to the door of my tent with his Bible in his hand, or as he sat in his own tent and buried his thoughts in the words of eternal truths. He would seek with all his mind to tind the meaning of the scriptures; and, with solicitude that embarrassed me in my conscious need of knowledge and judgment, he would ask me to explain What he could not understand. He evinced no want of moral courage— never seemed in the slightest degree inclined to conceal his godly purpose and effort from his officers and men. Neither did he present the faintest semblance of ostentation. In this, as in all else, his whole soul was absorbed in what he felt to be his duty—and he looked neither to the right nor to the left. Through repentance and faith he walked along “the new and living way” to the Father’s pardoning love. Finally he became satisfied that he was ready to connect himself with the Church of God. He did not appear to have any decided preference tor any denomination, but expressed himself in favor of the Protestant HEpiscopal church because his wife belonged to it —speaking touchingly of their attend- ing the house of God together. On a pleasant Saturday he ordered both his tine horses to be saddled, and invited me to ride with him to Hampton’s le- gion tu see the Rev. A. Toomer Porter and get him to come next day to our camp and baptise him. That was an impressive fact—that rapid ride by the devoted colonel, to a command miles away, to formally request a minister to come and induct him into the house- hold of God. At the legion I remem- ber specially meeting the handsome and dashing Stephen D. Lee, afterwards lieutenant-general, and hearing him re- joice over some fine English guns that had just been received for his battery. Col. Pender was genial and friendly, but addressed himself earnestly to the main object of his visit, and not only engaged the minister but also invited Lee to act as one of the witnesses. The Sabbath dawned clear, beautiful and bracing. A rude pulpit was con- structed in the edge of the forest. At the hour for divine service the regiment gathered and arranged themselves at will on the carpet of autumn leaves among the trees—some sitting, some leaning against the oaks. The spirit given the hour by the Colonel's self- offering to God may have made all those hundreds so respectful and atten- tive. ‘Tne songs that perhaps, many had often heard and sung in the peace- ful churches at home rang out through the woods and floated away with the kindly breeze. | Next came the single voice of the chaplain in prayer, and then the sermon. The leading thought in the sermon was “The inconstancy of 99 wry) human fortune; or, “The law of change.” When the discourse was finished, the Rev. Mr. Porter took charge of the exercises and proceetled to administer the holy rite. Capt. Ste- phen D. Lee and Maj. Benjamin Al- ston were the witnesses. ‘I'he eye of brave Colonel kneeled with uncovered head in the presence of the men to whom he owed the example of all fidel- ity, and taught them the first aud great- est duty in times of war as in times of peace, From that hour the ultimate basis of his unfliching courage was the sacred consciousness that he was a child of God—an heir of everlasting life. It may be well to add that it would have been far better had an earlier riod in his life been ennobled by this sublimest act of his brave career. Man is never prepared for duty till he becomes a willing. trusting, loving servant of God.—A. W. M., in Uni- versity Magazine. [ As a sort of sequal to the above in- teresting sketch from the pen of Rev. Dr. Mangum we add that in the sum- mer of 1862 Gen. Pender, being then at home because of a wound received in the battles around Richmond, was con- firmed, we think at Hillsboro. After- wards it was Gen. Pender’s practice— even in forced marches—after arrang- ing his water-proof and blanket for the night, to quietly separate himself from the bevy at headquarters, and seeking some sequestercd spot, on his knees pass some time in fervent prayer. In this respect, as in many others, he re- sembled Stonewall Jackson, who while at no time neglecting his pious duties, spent so much time in prayer when he was contemplating a movement against the enemy, that the saying was com- mon, that his servant always knew when a battle was to be expected be- cause of the prolonged devotions of that remarkable man.—Faleigh News and Observer. Reform in The Schools. Charleston News and Courier. “Despair and worry over lessons too long or too many,” we have recently been told by an eminent. school physi- cian, “is shattering the nerves of un- told numbers of the children of this generation, and sapping the vitality of of those who will be the parents of the next generation.” According to another eminent authority, St. Vitus occupies a seat in nearly every school in the land, and may, indeed, very justly be regarded as the patron saint of our present system of primary edu- cation. Every now and ites we read of a child who has died from the effects of over-study—from despair over les- sons too long or too many, or both —and there are doubtless many such cases of which we never hear. One who has eyes to see can see hundreds of pale faces and stooping little forms about the doors of even our best schools, and though there are many intelligent and thoughtful teachers who are awake to the danger to be feared from this source, and who seek to guard against it by providing a liberal allowance of facts remain that many other teach- ers, doubtless a large majority, foret that they are engaged in teaching chil- dren, not men and women, and drive their little pupils daily to the verge of distraction by over-tasks in order to secure for thema high average and flattering certificate at the end of each week and of session. * * Many thoughtful persons, however—many parents particularly, whose voice is not heard in public—believe that the methods of teaching generally in vogne in the public schools, are defective in the particular indicated. The com- plaints is often heard among parents that their children are not taught in schools, but have to study at home to recite in schools. The hours of appli- cation to books and lessons are thus doubled or trebled to the detriment of the child, and often at the expense of the parent, who is compelled to do the actual work of the teacher, under mani- fest disadvantages, or to leave the child to struggle on without aid and guid- ance. The remedy for this state of affairs should not be hard to find. What is required is simply that the school, every school, shall be a place where children are taught, not “heard their lessons.” An hour of patient, pains- taking, intelligent explanation, of in- terchange of question and answer be- tween the teacher at the blackboard and his class on the form or at their desks, would doubtless be worth a week or month of routine recitations. It would be far better, again, for teachers to spend one day in downright teach- ing, and the next day in careful ex- amination as to results attained, than to spend two days in the usual way. — That Unruly Member. Among several little resolves which I have quietly formed, for my own adoption, is one which I should like to mention briefly, while asking if there are not many more who are endeavor- ing to pursue the same course, namely, to set guard over my speech, and strive to avoid, not only stopping to deal in gossip and scandal, but the all too com- mon error of exaggerations and inac- curacies of speech. One who sincerely desires to be a truly lady or gentleman, has great and constant need to keep strict guard over his or her speech, (see what St. James says concerning the “unruly member.”) In fact, there are but two points where one needs ‘to keep stricter vigilance than with re- gard to the tongue, and those two points are the heart and the mind. Could we but keep those perfectly pure and right, it seems to me that we rest and recreation for the pupils, the |} Immigration Items. Mr. B. H. Peffer and several friends, of Carlisle, Penn., were in Raleigh sev- eral days ago. We are informed that they contemplate purchasing farming lands near Littleton. William Jamison, Esq., of Bethel, Wheeler county, Pa., anticipates visit- ing North Carolina during the ap- proaching summer for the purpose of proses ane for a good location to make is future home, and says if he is pleased in finding a location he can in- sure a number of friends and acquain- paces of his locality to locate near iin. Wm. Gossage, Esq., of Mount Ver- non, Ohio, desires to correspond with with any North Carolinians who have first class farming lands for sale. He has heard a great deal of North Caro- lina and thinks that it is just the place to suit him. x A party of Northern le passed through Raleigh last Thursde evening en route for Southern Pines they are to spend some time and probably locate. A few days ago several Northern gentlemen passed through Raleigh looking for timber. They seem very well pleased with the future prospect of North Carolina. ~~ Learn Economy. Waste, folly and extravagance are fearfully increasing among us, and be- yond doubt thousands of families have as little concern about the fragments as about their enormous and luxurious feasts. We throw away enough to feed the poor. Our ancestors would have fret even as late as fifty years ago, on the fragments we throw away. But we have fallen upon the time when money threatens to become the stand- ard of everything except integrity and prudence. God help us! It is terrible to see the rateof living indulged in by vast numbers of our people and the contempt put onthe homely virtues once in such high honor. If the strug- gle for wealth is not making scores and hundreds inhuman, it is certainly mak- ing them non-human by the selfish habits and reckless tastes it is generat- ing. And it is awful to retall the fact that Dives was the man to plead so piteously with Father Abraham for a drop of water in the Hell of Inhuman- ity!—Lichmond Advocate. ee Obeying Orders. On the Russian frontier it once hap- pened that an officer was playing at eards with a friend, when a Jew was trying to smuggle himself into the Russian empire without proper vise or his pass port. The sentinel on guard arrested him and reported to the officer. ‘All right,’ said he. Hours after- wardthe sentinel again asked what he was to do with the Jew. The captain furious at being interrupted, ‘Why, d--the Jew! hang him! The cap- tain went on playing until the morn- ing, when suddenly remembering the prisoner, he called the soldier, “Bring in the Jew!" “The Jew?” said the amaz- ed soldier, “but I hanged him, as you or- dered.” “What?” said the captain, “you have committed murder!” He arrested him, and the judgment—death — went, up to the emperor. Inquiring, before signing so serious adocument, and learn- ing how matters stood, the emporer deci- ded that the soldier who, without reason- ing, had implicity obeyed so extraordin- ary an order of his superior was to be made a corporal; that the officer who, while on duty, for the sake of gambling had given the murderous order, was to be sent to Siberia, and that his pay was to go to the family of the poor Jew who had so iniquitously been murdered. Se Grape Bagging. One of the most valuable discoveries in grape calture is the improvement in quality of the fruit and its safety from bhght, mildew, birds and insects by in- closing the bunches in bags. It is also a safeguard against late frosts. The summer of 1884 demonstrated beyond all doubt the great value of bagging out door grapes. The early summer was marked by a succession of cold, almost frosty nights, when the young grapes were making their first swelling, and and grapes not covered with paper bags rotted badly, while those thus protec- ted dil not rot at all. Some are deter- red from bagging their grapes from the impression that it is a very expensive and troublesome job, whereas it 1s com- paratively cheap and easy. The im- portant point is to put the bags over the clusters as soon as they are set and before any injury has been done.— New York Times. Se yee The Day of Rest. It is hard to tell how much the Sab- bath has sweetened human life. Day after day thunders on. Each one is laden with care, and thought, and worry and business. _[t comes beating in upon us like a mighty wave. We may be able to stand up against one of them, two of them or three of them; but by the time the sixth wave has thundered in upon us, wounding the heart and racking the brain, we begin to stagger. But then the seventh comes with waves of healing. It is the day of rest. And thus in our lives there are six layers of care, and toil, and con- flict, and one layer of heaven. — Six tin.es the shuttle leaps across the loom of our lives, carrying a silver thread, and one time carrying a golden thread. And so the weaving goes on from year to year until the loom stops and God memory still beholds the scene as the should have but little need to guard ! the speech.-—Cousin Iena., cuts off the thread which has been go- SALISBURY, N. C., JUNE 10, 1886, WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent. } WASHINGTON May 30, 1886. It is difficult to write a Washington let- wedding at the White House. I will not refrain, but will be brief. The ceremony is to be simple, unostenatious, and, owing to the recent death inthe Folsom family, exclusive. This exclusiveness will be the only undemocratic feature abont it. The guests will be a few ladies, the Cabinet and their ladies, Col. and Mrs. Lamont. The President will have no Lest man; there will be no bridesmaids, and the marriage cere- monywill take place’ in the Blue Room and be performed by Rev. Byroa Sunder- land, the Pastor of the Presbyterian church in which the President hulds a pew. The Marine Band will discourse some music prepared for the occasion. There will bea profusion of floral decoration superintend- ed by Miss Cleveland who arriv Saturday evening; and after the ceremony, there will be a wedding supper in the historic dining room. It is reported that the President will immediately go on a short wedding trip, that he will stimulateously retire to the country seat which he has just pur- chased three miles from the White House, and that he will without delay remain at the White House and do nothing of the kind. If you have paid your subscription you can take your choice. Mrs. and Miss Folsom were guests at the White House last winter, and it is said if it had not been for the inevitable gossip associating their names, the President might not have been awakeyed to the fact that Miss Folsom was an extremely attrac- tive and beautiful woman. The President heard the gossip and then awoke to the fact that he loved his pretty ward. An engagement took place, but the President fearing that her acceptance might have been influenced by relation of guardian and ward which had previously existed between them, told her he wished her to go abroad, so that if during that time she found any one she thought she loved better, orthat she could not love the Preident well enough to become his wife, then the fact of the engagement should never be made public. Miss Folsom protested that the preba- tionary trip to Europe was not necessary, but the President insisted that she should take it. This explains why the matter has been kept so secret. Had not the truth leaked out, the public would have remaincd in ignorance until the formal aunouncement had been made from the White House. A large number of persons visited the White House yesterday and roamed through the lower rooms. The Blue Room, where the wedding is to be held, was of course the centre of attraction. The President had a number of callers, cach of whom congratulated him warmly upon his approaching happincss. The conversation between the callers and the President when it touched upon the wedding was confined exclusively to con- gratulations on the one hand and the for- mal return of thanks on the other. The President after concluding his rou- tine business, which, by the way, was earlier than usual, drove out with Col. La- mont to “Pretty Prospect,” his new country home, In social circles the wedding of the Vresident cxcites considerable interest, though not as much as if it was to be a brilliant one in a social sense. Already, however, @ series of entertainments have been planned in honor of the groom and fair bride by his official family—the members of the Cabinet. The definite details have not yet been determined on, but it is thought the initial hospitality will be of- fered by secretary and Mrs. Whitney, and more probably at their country house, which is close to the President’s suburban residence, Dinner parties are expected to follow from the rest of the Cabinet, but it is not supposed that the President will depart from his custom of accepting hospi- talities of this kind from none bnt the Cab- inet families, The marriage of the President in the White Ifouse surrounds with added brill- jancy the social career which the bride will inaugurate with her coming here. The presence of a wife in the Executive Man- sion breaks most acceptably the now long rule of bachclordom for the past five years, and puts ina brighter, gayer phase the hospitalitics already so generously offered by the President, and which will no doubt be greatly increased when there is a young and beautiful woman at the social helm. ter now and not say anything about the A St. Paul boy was recently sent from home to a boarding school. He was homesick, of course, and, after standing it as long as he could, wrote: “Dear father: Life is very short. Let us spend it together. Your affection- ate son.” . FARMERS COME AND SEE MoCORMICK’S 1886 Improved No. 2 IRON MOWER Regarded as the most perfect one ever con- structed. It has many points of excellence to commend it to the American Farmer. Some of which are as follows: Having enlarged wheels it bas quite an easy draft. The weight has been reduced several hundred pounds, A lead wheel 1n front of the shoe carrics the weight of the cutter bar and prevents any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead wheel forms a pérfect protection to the pitman and can be set higher or lower, as may be required in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut is very desirable. Another important feature in this Mower is that the cutting apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impossible. This is a weak point in most mowers, and very often overlooked in purchasing, though the defect reveals itself by use. It is provided with the same kind of wooden pitman as described particularly in the remarks about the regular IRON MOWER. It is a Machine that will stand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most, difficult places in a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give speed to the knife. THE DAISY, A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially for those who own small farms. It isa center cut, one-wheeled reaper, cutting five feet wide, having the main wheel on a line with the small yrain wheel, the advantages of which can be seen by the ease with which it can be backed or turned. By the use of one lever, both ends of the platform can be raised or lowered to any desired height of cut, while another lever tilts the cutting edge to the angle required to pick up leaning or fallen grain. These changes can be made by the driver in his seat, with the machine in motion. There is no cog gearing in the main wheel to gather dirt and straw, as the mo- tions of gearing, raking, and tripping de- vices are all well timed and positive, en- abling the operator to size the bundles to suit the grain, its whole operation will be found simple, positive and reliable. But of his many Improvements McCOR- MICK’S STEEL HARVESTER AND BINDER is the acknowledged Type and Pattern for all Harvesting Machines and stands unexceled, unequaled and unri- valed in its design, construction and value as a RELIABLE HARVESTING IM- PLEMENT.

The next State Fair will be held in Ral- eigh, commencing October 26 and continu- ing tor the week. The Premium List will be issued in a few days, having just becn completed by the Executive Committee, and will be thor- oughly distributed. The departments of Ficld Crops and Live Stock have been made specially attractive, more liberal premiums beiug offered than ever before. In addition to the many attractions which the Fair usually affords, the State Agricultural Department will make an exhibit similar to that made at the Expo- sition in 1884. This alone will be well worth a visit to Raleigh. The Race Track is being improved and some of the finest horses inthe country will be present. Arrangements have been made with the various lines of railroads in the State for low passenger rates and special trains, The new President of the Society, M. W. G. Upchurch, is giving his personal attcn- tion to the details, and will omit nothing to make the Fair of 1886 the most success- fw, indeed the best in every way, that has ever been held in the State.

A successful remedy must produce cer- tain changes in the composition of the blood, and when this has been accomplish- ed, all pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why exter- nal applications fall to produce permanent relicf, But we now have the remedy which acts like magic in giving relief to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart.

It is truly alarming to witness the rapid growth of mob law, and unless something is done to arrest it, the criminal laws of the State are likely to fall into utter contempt. A more prompt, vigorous, and certain punish- ment of crimivals should be provided by law. - It would better to extend the jurisdiction of magistrates to the trial and coudemnation of criminals than to have mob law beeome the rule of the land Existing laws have been made with reference to ancient maxims and] principles. They are slow in opera- tion, tedious and vexatious in process, uncertain in results, and extremely ex- pensive in practice. They are, in fact, uasuited to the present times in this country. As a people we have become severely practical ;—are moving as rapidly as steain and electricity can drive us. The conditions are aimazing- ly different from what they were a few years ago. A work commenced is finished in a day, whereas years were once required to accomplish it. The people have no time, nor patience, nor money to waste on the slow process of Jaw in plain cases; and above all, they will not submit to the mockery of jus- tice in the acquittal of the guilty. These facts ought to be duly considered by law makers, and statues enacted to meet the requirements of the age; oth- wise we see no hope of arresting the present tendency to anarchy. oe Murder, Arson and Lynching. Two horrible scenes were enacted in Davidson county, Friday night and Sunday morning last. Alfred Long, colored, visited the house of Mr. A. J. McBride, Friday night, for the pur- pose of robbery. He found the old gentleman sitting by the fire, and his wife working out dough. He fired two shots into Mr. Mcbride, who fell dead on the floor. The old lady madg an out cry and he killed her. He then went in search of money, having learned during the day that the old gentleman hand £200 in his house. Having secured the money, he next set fire tothe house and ranaway. The neighbors knew nothing of the dread- ful affair until next day. The house gnd its contents were burned to ashes, and near the fire place were found the charred and almost destroyed remains of the two old people. Suspicion fell! on Alfred Long and his brother-inlaw, Womack, both of whom were arrested Saturday forenoon. During the day, through the diligent efforts of the aroused community, evidence was pick- ed up against Long. His wife, on be- ing interrogated, made a confession which implicated him, and the people hecame convinced that Long was the guilty man. Their indignation rose, as fact was joined to fact, until, collec- ting in a considerable body, they went for the prisoner and led him out to execution. Long made a_ confession of his guilt. He was hung by the neck, Sunday morning at 3 o'clock, and the crowd slowly dispersed to their respec- tice homes. Womack, his brother-in- law, was released, as no evidence was found against him. Since the above was written we learn that a negro named Hairston, and Long's wife, have been arrested and jailed as accomplices. Prohibition Election. Elections under the local option law of the Code were held in quite a large number of towns and townships last Monday, and we subjoin a report of the result. It is gratifying to see that the people of several important towns are agreed to put an end to the liquor busi- ness jx their midst, Public sensiment when fairly expressed at the ballot box by an open election, becomes law, and the people are by habit and training safisfied with it, and yield jt the cheer- ful obedience required to give it effi- erency. Many other localities in the State will hold elections on this subject next year, and there is abundant reason to believe that within the next two or three years prohibition will prevail over at least twoethirds or three-fourths of the entire State. Such was the operation of the local option lay jn Georgia, and such it is likely to be here. ville by 114. Also, in Statesville, by 323. Elections were also held in Oxford, Kinston, Hendersen, Warrenton, Louis- burg, Apex, Beaufort township and Seaboard, in all ef which places Prohi- bition was carried. RECAPITULATION.

It is generally conceded that Rowan will present the name-of Mr. Mavuney to the next Judicial Convention for the office of Solicitor. Mr. Maunry pos- qualifications requisite for the proper discharge of the duties of this respon- sible office. He has for many years enjoyed a lucrative practice at this Bar, and has won an enviable distinction as a learned, painstaking and industrious lawyer. Besides he has had considerable experience as a prosecuting officer, hav-7 ing filled acceptably the office of Soli- citor of the Inferior Court.

The numerous presents made to Mr. Cleveland and his bride are likely to embarrass him to some extent. It is believed by some that he cannot legal- ly accept them.

It isan exceedingly liberal effort on the part of the proprietor to promote the welfare of the community, and should be drly appreciated and rewarded. After all it is not every day that a young lady can drive up to the White House . and lead out the President of United! States to the marriage altar. Miss Folsom enjoys the distinction of having been the first lady, who, in the history of ou® country has thus signal- ized the power of love. The very rarity of the incident is enough to make people talk of it, and it is there- fore the great theme of the day. There has been no marriage in this country which called forth sueh universal con- gratulations. ee The Fayetteville Observer relates the particulars of an attempt at highway robbery, on the Cape Fear bridge, Saturday night last. Two men con- cealed on the bridge sprung out on Mr. H. H. Bolton as he was passing on horse back. One of them seized the bridle reins of his horse, while the oth- er aimed a deadly blow at his head, The plunging of the horse saved the rider, The blow missed the aim and the horse tore loose and galloped away out of danger, The election on Monday in Char- lotte was warmly contested, both pare ties working zealously to bring their friends to the polls. The entire vote east, says the Obserrer, was 1607—325 Jess than the registered yote. For Pro- hibition, 589; against it, 1,018. Pro hibition defeated by a majority of 429.

Mr. McAden declined to fight a duel because it is against the laws of the State. “Why challenge me to fight a duel to nght your wrongs when you are not my inferior physi- cally,” asks Mr. McAden. Te which Pearson answers “the duel is more hon- orable than a street fight with deadly weapons.” We suppose the difficulty has ended, as Pearson says he’ will hereafter ignore his adversary. Feminine curiosity is without height, depth, width or length. Two thousand wonten visited the White House premi- ses the day after the President's mar- riage to see the room and its decora- tions, in which the ceremony was per- formed. But they only reached the} main entrance. Here they were arrest- ed by the door keepers, who informed them that the house was closed for the day. What a vexation ! The store room of the White House is said to be loaded with presents of all kinds, sent from all directions. The packages are unopened and will so re- main until the President and his bride return from the bridal excursion. Meanwhile they—the presents—are still-tumbling in. It is a remarkable fact that a few years ago the Constitution of the State of Michigan had a prohibition clause in it against saloons. The city authori- ties of Ann Harbor disregarded the law and licensed saloons at a high fig- ure. Other cities following, did the same. The Prohibition clause was re- pealed. And there are now 47 big sa- loons in Ann Harbor where before un- der the non-enforced prohibition clause there were about 80, many of them of the lowest kind. But the liqur busi- ness of the State is said to be enor- mous, and it is laid to the indiscreet ef- forts of the prohibitionists themselves, Michigan having given St. John the largest vote polled for him by any State. ape ee The New Orleans Times-Deimocrat reports a novel case of love and Jaw at Fort Worth, Texas. Moses Prince and George Engler were both courting Miss Dora Lacey. Prince got a heense to marry her, but hearing that her parents were restraining her, he sued outa writ of habeas corpus and had the girl brought before a judge. On the stand she said she was not restrained, and that she did not want to go with that man, pointing at Prince. Mean- while Engler had also obtained a license to marry her. But the Court dismissed the case, Miss Dora being of age, and she left in the care of her pa- rents. Prince then sued out an in- junction against her marriage by any parson, or State official, and at last ac- counts the deputy sheriff was at Mr. Lacey's gate ready to execute the pro- cess on any one approaching to perform the marriage ceremony. ee a The riot and bloodshed in the Hay- market square, Chicago, has been re- ported on by the Grand Jury having it under investigation for three weeks past, and they declare that it was a premeditated design to murder. They say that not exceeding one hundred— perhaps not more than 40 or 50—con- stitute the leadership of the anarchists, but that they have weak followers to sev- eral hundred in number; and have, to some extent, obtained influence and fa- vor with the members of several trades unions; and even succeeded in intimi- dating a wider circle of people. They believe the police of the city are equal to the task of ferreting out and bring- ing to justice the offenders; and they take the occasion to denounce the hith- erto unrebuked demonstrations of these disturbers by procession ands speeches and flaunting im the face of the public offensive banners—all in opposition to and in defiance of law and order. oman 0 +p Oleomargarine and Butterine have engaged much of the attention of Con- gress of late. The dairy men of the Northern States would proscribe the manufacture of these cheap substitutes for butter, and to oblige them the House has had under discussion a Dill to tax it out of existence. Some such bill may pass the House, but it is thought the Senate will disagree and defeat it. The manufacturers should be required to brand their products by such names as would clearly show the character of the article, and in that way make it impossible that any pur- chaser could be imposed on; and hav- ing done that it would seem there is nothing more for Congress to do on the subject. Jt is not a poison, and therefore does not call for Congrese siona} interference to prevent its manu- facture nor to embarrass the product by atax. Jt should not be passed as but- ter, for ft is not. But if any class of citizens are willing to accept it as a substitute for butter, they ought to be allowed to do so withoyt being taxed Judicial Convention. EIGHTH DISTRICT. The Exeeutive Committee of this District held a meeting at the office of Mr. Theo. F.

Glandstone’s Home Rule Bill for the relief of Ireland, of which there has been so much talk both in this country and abroad, was defeated in the British House of Commons June 7th, on its 2d reading by a vote of 341 to 311. The House, on the motion of Mr. Gladstone, then adjourned until Thurs- day, but not before a ringing speech had been made by Parnell, and “very high excitement. +e Hopes of the Taylorsville R.

Co., which has about scooped up all the railroads about here, has recently reconoitered the route from Statesville via Taylors- ville to Wilkesboro, with the view of ascertaining what there is in the coun- try traversed for a railroad to expect. The R. & D. Co. will finish the road to Taylorsville and beyond if the encour- agements to do so are sufficient. The road is already graded from Statesville to Taylorsyille, and the cross-ties are paid for and ready to be laid. “Pay all your Just Debts.” Such is the caption of a newspaper article. Well, yes, “pay your debts,” it is a general practice in these parts, with some conditions annexed. If a fellow owes you and knows you can’t make him pay, there is sometimes a hitch in the business, and he stops to consider whether or not he ought to pay; and when a debtor gets hard down on this question the devil is sure to give him a lift in the direction of his doubts, and then he don’t pay. —— ae Mr. Manning, Secretary of the Treas- ury, tendered his resignation to the President on the 4th; but the Presi- dent declined its acceptance, at least for the present, and asked the Secre- tary to take an extended leave of ab- sence until October Ist, and if his health has not then improved he may renew the tender.

The friends and acquaintances of J. M. Clement, Esq., of Mocksville, N. C., will be pained to hear of his death. He died at his home last Friday after a somewhat protracted decline. He was one of the most worthy and prominent men in Western North Carolina, and as such his death creates a void which can- not be easily filled. a Soldiers Attention! We have been requested by a soldier of the late war, to give notice that it is pro- posed to have a grand gathering of the soldiers of Rowan at Salisbury, about the 15th of July. All surviving soldiers are urged to attend. The object is to renew acquaintaintance and cultivate social re- lations. But one such mecting has been held here since the return from the tent- ed field, and the one now proposed, it is hoped, will prove highly interesting and profitable. Come to the front. Ascension Day. Last Thursday was ascension day, a fact which might have been overlooked in Salisbury, had not the appearance of an unusual nuinber of farmers been no- ticed on the streets. The good old dutch people of Rowan still cling to the obser- vance of certain days, and ascension day is one of them. Itis a holiday and no matter how much the crops need work, the day must be observed, There is one thing our people need and that is the ra- tional observance of more holidays. We have but few and they are but half ob- served. But remember only working people should observe a holiday. rr re Killed by Lightning. Mr. Ritchie of Stanly county, father of our townsman Jake Ritche, was struck by lightning on Thursday afternoon of last week. He and some of the family were in a field near the house hoeing corn, and when the cloud began to ap- pear threatening, he told the others to run to the house, and he would soon follow. As he did not come to the house after the storm passed, Mrs. Ritchie be- came uneasy, and sent in search of him. He was found dead, lying under a tree which had been struck by lightning. It is supposed that he took shelter under the tree from the rain, He was a good man, noted for his piety, and his loss in that community is universally mourned. Bridges. After every freshet, which are becom- ing very common, the County Commis- sioners are called upon to replace or re- pair bridges that haye been carried away or damaged by high waters. Would it not be economy to do such work in a manner that will make public bridges proof against being damaged by any amount of water? It can be done, and if it is found to be too expensive to build them all at once, build only one or two a year until all are completed. The railroad bridge across Grant’s Creek, two miles from town will withstand any pressure brought to bear upon it by water till Gabriel blows his trump, To make a long suggestion short—build the bridges across the larger streams, of rock, and the county will be saved bridge money for two hundred years. There are bridges on public highways in the old country that were put there four hundred years ago. Oe Rich.

For several years past in different -sec- tions of the country complaint has been heard of rascals selling a spurious metal in the shape of branch gold and nuggets, to merchants and others, getting advances on some and skipping and never being - heard of again or calling for the balance due. A case in Concord, one in Montgomery, one or two in Salisbury, and last, one in Morgan township, this county. At last, @ party is caught that will probably lead to more arrests, as the parties are spotted. Last summer, Daniel A. Crisco took some of this stuff to Mr. J. L.. Arey a mer- chant near Garfield, and .cpresented that he was working a mine on Mr. Solomon Morgan’s place, and that what he offered was some of the gold, and that he wanted to sell it for cash and merchandise. The sale was made at the rate of 80 cets per dwt. The next day the same party brought a handsome nugget that would, if gold, weigh 4 or 5 ounces. This also, was sold to Mr. Arey. Some $19.00 was paid and the balance due on the nugget was to be paid in the future. Mr. Arey thinking it was gold, sold it to Mr. L. E. Steere of Salisbury, and received a check in payment. In showing it around, Mr. Steere found out it was not gold, reported it to Mr. Arey and it was redeemed. Mr. Arey was then out some $24.00. Crisco never came for his balance and has eluded escape until last Tuesday, when a warrant for his arrest was issued and Crisco captured. He made his escape, and on Saturday night a posse comitatus was summoned by constable J. W. Basin- ger and he was captured on Sunday morning at his home near Pool. The case was taken before ’Squire J. J. New- man, who heard the testimony, and in default of a $500.00 bond, Crisco was on last Monday committed to jail for a bear- ing at the next term of Court. It is not known how the spurious metal is made or what it contains, but it is very decep- tive, and experts are often fooled by it, thinking it genuine branch gold and nug- ‘gets, while bright. It is thought that the fine gold is made by dropping in water while hot and then being plated or gal- vanized by a solution of gold afterwards, then mixed with clay, sand and quartz and paned down to deceive. The nuggets are made by pouring while hot, into a clay, quartz and sand mould. When cold, it is then galvanized. The quartz and clay adhering, makes the lump look as a genuine nugget. Crisco says he dug it out of the ground somewhere near Zion church in Mont- gomery. Some on Mr. Sol. Morgan’s and some on Mr. Moses Peeler’s, in this coun- ty, but it is all a hoax. Other parties are being watched, and it is thought will be arrested and brought to justice. We would advise those of our friends who have been gulled to make it known to the proper authorities and assist in bringing to justico the whole of the gang. ——— rt ie The County Commissioners. The County Commissioners met last Monday for their usual monthly work of hearing reports, passing on accounts, giv- ing orders, ete. There was nothing in their proceedings of special interest to the public, though all they did related to public affairs. When they had concluded their work, the Court House bell rang for the meeting of The Magistrates of the County. The meeting was organized by the election of Mr. J. A. Hedrick, Chair- man. Mr. T. J. Sumner submitted a motion relating to taxes forthe present year, which proposed the same rates as those for 1885. Several changes were proposed, discussed and passed on; but the meeting finally agreed to levy the same rates as last year, to-wit: Sixty-five cents on the $100 value of real and personal property, and $1.85 on the poll. The meeting then proceeded to tho election of five County Commissioners. Mr. Wellington Kistler, of Mt. Ulla township, offered a resolution which pro- posed a nominating committee of one man from each township, said committee, when formed, to be instructed to nomi- nate two suitable men living west of the N. C.R. R., two living east of that line, and one a resident of Salisbury. The motion was not sustained by a scc- ond, and while the meeting waited in apparent suspense, some member propos- ed ‘that we proceed to elect by ballot.” The Chairman thereupon ordered the members to prepare their ballots, and ap- pointed tellers. The election resulted as follows: T. J. SUMNER, L. W. COLEMAN, J. 5. McCunpins, Sr., C. F. BAKER, W. L. KLuttz. J. S. MeCubbins, Sr., received the high- est vote, and Mr, W. L. Klutz the light- est. But the people of the county will see that the old Board was re-elected. This should be, and doubtless is, highly gratifying to the men who had the care of County affairs for the last year. It amounts to saying—vwell done good and faithful servants, we continue you in our confidence,—and that is no small re- ward to conscientious and earnest la- borers, Mr. T. C. Linn was re-elected County Superintendent of Public Instruction, which was another instance of continucd public confidence, creditable alike to Magistrates and the appointee. —_———_—_r-o Just as we go to press, we learn of the death of William Cain, infant son of Hon, John 8S.

BRUNER, EDITOR. -There is but little being done in Guil- ford county, just now, in mining circles, The Lindsay and Deep River mines are idle, though both are good properties. There isa now property being opened near Pleasant Garden, with flattering prospects of becoming a successful mine. There is also a new property being devel- oped, which is some fifteen miles from Greensboro on the lifie of the N. C. divis- ion of the R. & D. railroad. The ore isa brown quartz ore, and is reported to be very good. The extent of the ore body has not yet been defined, though all indi- cations point to a lode of sufficient size to justify mining on an average scale, At the Point mine in Mecklenburg, a new shaft house is going up, and the ground is being cleared for a mill house, though itis not known that a contract has been let for building it. : At the Todd mine they are drifting on the cross vein, lately discovered, and it is reported to be two and ahalf feet wide—a very encouraging fact. There isno change worthy ofmention at the St. Catheriné. The mine is producing a uniform grade of ore which is shipped to the Yadkin Chlorination Works at Salisbury for treatment. The Rudisil mine is being rapidly un- watered, and in fact, the greater part of the mine is now open. Ore extractions have already been commenced from the lower levels. Vigorous work is being done on the “Bush Hill” end of the vein, the result of which has not yet been stated. All the concentrating machinery and tools have lately been shipped from the Designolle Works, near Charlotte, which indicates the final abandonment of that plant. and was expected to supplant other modes of treatment, but for some reason not given to the public, it has so fur fail- ed in its mission. It seems to be going the way of most all the “‘processes.”’ The Henderson mine is down about 70 feet, and they are encountering trouble- some ground. The Hendly mine, in Union county, but near the Mecklenburg line, is being actively prospected. A very considera- ble dump has been accumulated, and some of the ore has been milled. The results obtained were large enough to stimulate greater work. The ore is val- ued at $30, which is probably much too high; asthe oreis free milling. $10.00 would be good enough and would be nearer the mark. In South Carolina there are nostartling changes. At the Brown mine, a small prospecting mill has been built, while the ordinary placer work continues with usual activity. Atthe Haile there is no noteworthy change—the production con- tinues with marked uniformity. There is more than usual inquiry about mines, and several parties are looking up the matter, but it is very hard to know when they mean ‘‘business.”’ Prof. Hidden, who has just begun work at the Emerald and Hiddenite mine, in Alexander county, reports the finding of a handful of emeralds last Monday. The work gocs on! This is a paying property, The gems found were from a depth of 42 feet. ee — For the Watchman. Salisbury Interests. In this day of progress it is time the people of Salisbury were beginning to consider whether our town is to be allow- ed to remain as it is, or whether some- thing can’t be done to enable her to re- gain the position she once occupied as the leading town in Western North Caro- lina. While Salisbury has been compara- tively active in other respects, sbe has been almost at a stand still in the way of public improvements, while Asheville, Winston, Charlotte and Durham have been steadily gaining ground. There must be some cause for this and it behooves the citizens of Salisbury to seriously consider whether something can’t be done to improve the exisiting condition. It is not that we are lackin in natural advantages, for it is coneed that ours is one of the most beautifully located towns to be found anywhere. For healthfulness our record will com- pare favorably with that of any place of its size in the State. We have beautiful broad streets, fine shades, and the town lies well for natural drainage. We must therefore conclude that our lack of public spirit is not due to favorable surroundings. If we look at the opportunities for getting railroads, cotton factories and other manufacturing interests we have allowed to slip away from us by a want of enterprise on the part of our leading citizens, we will prob- ably find one of the causes of our not keeping abreast of the times, Each one of the towns named here voted to issuc bonds for large amounts to grade and pave the streets erect water warks, elec- tric lights, eve. Asheville voting as much as one hundred and forty thousand dol- lars and Durham nearly as much. What have we done in this way to make invest- ments safe from the ravages of fire and improve and beautify our town? ‘Three years ago a feeble effort was made to have bonds issucd to grade our strects, but because the citizens who were most interested, and whom we looked for advice and encouragement held aloof and frowned upon it, ‘For Bonds” received Erentyreislt votes, Now there is a dis- position on the part of the town authori- ties to supply the need for water works so far as they can by cisterns, This is good as far as it goes and would no doubt afford greatly increased protection from fire, but why not have a complete system of water works, by which the houses can be supplied with good pure water, as well as protection. The streets need some solid, permanent work and we need a system of sewerage. These improvements can all be had and our taxes kept within such bounds as will hurt no one, There is only one way by which this can be accomplished. Let the people create public sentiment in favor of it, and the Town Commission- ers will have the next Legislature to pass an act authorizing the people to vote on it. Let us see whether we are willing tomake the necessary effort. TAX PAYER. It was built several years ago, |< Another Gane p= BLackMER, N.

The other evening as a Detroit Fitz- noodles called on his girl he found her with tearsin her eyes and her face tied up. “It’s the awful, awful toothache! she sobbed as he asked for an explana- tion. “Try camphor.” “But the dentist says I must have two of ‘em out! Will you go with me?” “Of course.” “And will you—you also have a tooth pulled?” “Certainly.” “Two of em?” “Yes.” “Before I do?” _ “Yes darling.” Then she flung the handkerchief from her face, brushed the tears from her eyes, and gave him a_ long lin- gering procastinating kiss on the left jaw.

The idea of refusing water to pa- tients is, we are glad to say, nearly a thing of the past. ‘The following in- cident, related by a sailor, serves as an illustration of the water treatment. “Some years ago, when we lay in Ja- maica, several of us were sick with the fever, and among the rest the sec- ond mate. The doctor had been givin him brandy to keep him up, taal f thought it was a queer kind of “keep- ing up.” Why, you see, it stands to reason that if you heap fuel on a fire, it will burn th brandy to a fever is just the same kin of thing. “Well, the doctor gave him up, and I wassent to watch with him. No medi- cine was left, for it was no use—noth- ing would help him; and I had my directions what to do with the body when he was dead. Toward midnight he asked for some water. I got him the coolest I could find, and all he wanted; and if you'll believe me, in less than three oats he drank three gallons. rain. Then I thought sure he was when the doctor came, he asked what “Won't you go in and look at him?’ “Why, said he, ‘the man is not dead. He’s alive and doing well.

Food should never be taken by a rson much fatigued, or in a state of igh mental excitement, till rest. and quietude have restored a normal! condi- tion of the nervous system. Food should be taken slowly, and masticated thoroughly. Never eat in a hurry. Ice water or very hot drinks should be the. bay ed. The natural heat of the is ninety-eight degrees and that is the normal temperature of food, but we may tolerate forty degrees above or below it. Without Stimulants. I have a supreme belief in the good of life as it is given us on this earth. It is a God-like privilege to be able to think, to love, to. work, to console, to see, and enjoy the beauties and advan- tages of nature. [tis a crime of any man to lessen the perfect goodness of his life, which I think drunkenness does. This is why I hate it. Life is sweeter, fonder and freer to me as a total abstainer than a moderate drinker, so I say if you want to mpathize with your fellow-men, to eel the true force of your being, ab- stain from alcoholic stimulants.— Bish- op Spalding.

James Wood- row, D.

The Kentuckian was asked to take a seat beside the new California Sena- tor, and did so with alacrity. As they drove away Senator Vance said: “There go the two millionaires.” “When did Mr. Beck become a million- aire?” I asked. “Quite recently,” was the reply. “Indeed !” “Yes, a newspaper mentioned him as such. Beck was better pleased than about anything that’ has occurred since he first came here. He read his name over and again with delight. Then he went home and greeted his wife in his most cheerful tone, and showed her the place his name occupied in the list. “ ‘Jane,’ said he, ‘my dear Jane, this re- port is not to be contradicted under any circumstances,’ And it never has been.” >> aa Birds Killed by Harshness. The Boeton Journal says: “It is well known that birds are very sensitive to tones of the voice, and are terrified at any loud, angry words, A lady who wished to make a bobolink stop singing at last scolded it in 0 loud voice, and then took up a scarf and shook it in rebuke at the caged bird. In a moment the bird was still, a short time after made a fluttering about the cage. Its owner turned to the bird and was shocked to see it fall dead. Unkind words had killed it.” We know of two cases similar to this. In one case a canary bird and in the other a mocking bird, died with- in five minutes after being spoken to in a violent, angry tone.— Our Dumb Animals. <> When a Girl Wants to Go to a Convent. I fancy there is a time in every girl’s life when she wants to go to a convent. A girl always, once in her life, falls in love with a married man; falls into a pure, fer- vent, holy love that is delicously thopeless. She sobs and sighs and dreams and weeps, and then the cloister seems to be the onl place that can give her life its finish. This lasts a week or so, and then she goes to a ball, dances with a young man of unprinci- pled sentimentality, and after that they’re at the opera, the park, the cliff, in turn, all the time. Its awfully lucky if the girl meets the married man carly in life. ~~ Orange Float. Boil together one quart of water, the juice and pulp of two lemons and one cup- ful of sugar.

Terrell, Texas, June 9.—Orange Ter- rell has for some years been making love to Sophia Wickson. — She had another admirer, Miles Henderson, who was developing as a successful ri- val. ‘Terrell, armed with a revolver, went to the house of Austin Thomas, with whom Sophie Wickson was stop- ping, and found Henderson there. Terrell immediatly opened fire on them shooting Henderson in the centre of the breast, the ball glancing upward over his shoulder. Terrill’s pistol was then directed to the woman. After emptying his pistol, one of the shots taking effect in her leg, he fled. Re- loading his pistol he returned to the house, took of his shoes and laid on a bed in the front room, announcing that he had come back to die in that house. In the meantime Jim Keller, the city marshal, was notified that Ter- Frell was in the house, and surrounded it with a posse. Keller entered the house and came to the door of the jfront room. Seeing Terrell lying on ithe bed, he commanded him to throw | . ry 9 up his hands and surrender. Lerrell's Hhand went up, but in it was a pistol, | which he fired at Keller, missing him. The marshal then fired five or six times completely riddling Terrill with bullets. Coroner Frank impaneled a jury, who after hearing the evidence, found a verdict justifying the officer. + > ee The Times. How times change!

THE STORY OF AN ALABAMA PRIVATE. Ex-Rebel in Detroit Free Press. When Jonston, about the middle of July, 1864, turned over the corfimand of the Confederate army in and around Atlanta to Hood, things looked so blue that the humblest soldier could realize that nothing but some desperate stroke of luck would save us. ii of us looked upon the cause as hopeless- ly lost. Vhat- feeling was a natural cause of homesickness, and it was talked among the men that it was no crime to get out from under the impending blowin the best way possible. I had no home no friends to go to, but thou- sands of others hau, end there were scores of desertions, besides a great many unsuccessful attempts. One of Hood's first. moves was to ‘put # check on this business. He issued very stringent orders, and it soon came to be known that desertion would be punished in the severest manner. I do not remember that anyone was shot for this offense, but there was a dozen men awaiting courtimartial, and but for circumstances they would have been tried, convicted and perhaps led to a disgraceful death. One night, while I was sergeant of the relief guard around our camp, the sentinels captured a young private of an Alabama regiment who was plainly trying to desert. He was sent off un- der guard, and the next day was car- ried before our brigade commander. I took him before the General myself, and heard most of the conversation be- tween them. It seemed that ‘the boy came of a fighting family, and had not only* served a year anda half in the ranks, but had been twice wounded. It was clearly nothing but homesick- ness that had stirred him up to play the part of a deserter. The General knew his father, and he talked to him of the disgrace—of the grief the old man would rest upon him after the war—of the cowardice of leaving his compan- ions to bear the brunt—and_ by and by he had the boy erying. It was a clear case, and the prisoner could have been reported to headquarters, but the Gen- eral seemed adverse to this; he talked as kindly as a woman, and closed the matter by saying: “J want you to return to your regi- ment, and wipe out this stain. There will bea great battle soon, and you will have opportunity to prove my trust in you. Here is my hand; go back to duty, and when the hour comes do not fail me.” The boy uttered his thanks in a broken voice and went away. Only his own captain knew of what had happened, and he also knew of the General's kindness. It was not many days after that be- fore we moved out to fight the battle of Peachtree Creek. [had my eye on the boy as soon as we got under fire, and I saw by his looks and actions that he meant to wipe away that stain. Once he turned agd looked me in the eyes. I gave hima friendly nod, but neither of us spoke. He knew of what I was thinking, and I saw by the blaze of his eyes that nothing would dismay him. At one part of the line the Federal forces were unprepared for the sudden assault and were temporari- ly rolled back, but on our wing they had been aroused and were waiting for us. We pushed ahead in solid battle lines, torn by their artillery, and by and by we got the word to. charge. Then came the confusion—the smoke —the hurrah—the smoke and turmoil of battle. We kept crowding ahead, now obliquing slightly to the left now, to the right, and as they would not give way we were finally among the guns of a battery. We drove beyond them—were breasted back — fought over the pieces—gained and lost them —and the boy I was watching was al- ways in front. Men on either side of him went down, but he was still un- wounded. When we got among the guns it was a hand-to-hand fight with bayonet and clubbed musket. I saw blood dripping from the boy’s bayonet —f saw him raging up and down, with only the gun-barrel for a weapon. Twice, I gathered a few men about me to drag off one of the pieces, men in blue surged up, and the boy droye at them almost single handed, and raged among them like a lion. We held our ground for perhaps twenty minutes, our poor old skeleton regiment numbering hardly & full company when we gave ground. We had just begun to retire, the boy stand- ing exposed and blazing away with a musket he had picked up, when I saw him fall. Two or three of _ us raised him and placed him under the shelter of abank, hoping that he was only wounded, but there was not a man deader on all the battlefield. A volley must have been fired at him alone, for at least a dozen bullets had pierced his body. Death had come in an instant, but on his face was the smile which it had worn when he went into the fray —a smile which said to me: “You know all, and I have wiped the stain away!” So he had, poor boy! rr ee ee A Sunday school urchin thus in- forms his teacher: “One day Bully come home holdin’ a little mole by the tal, which a bad boy had co’t and guv him, and it was alive.

F. Cuthbertson. W. EF. Cuthbertson was fatally shot by H. C. Long, his son-in-law, on West ‘Trade street, on last Wednesday after- noon. Mr. Long was in W. B. Tay- lors store when Mr. Cuthbertson ap- proached; he ran out, drawing his pis- tol and exclaimed, “Did you say you would kill me on first sight 2” and im- mediately tired, the ball entering Cuth- bertson’s right side, and he died within afew moments. The body was carried to the Court House, and a Coroner's inquest held. The verdict of the jury was that Cuthbertson came to his death by a pistol shot in the hands of H. C. Long. After the inquest the body was removed to the deceased resi- dence. ‘The tragedy is the result of ill-feeling on the part of Cuthbertson towards Long, who married his daugh- ter, sometime ago, against his wishes. He has assaulted Long on several occa- sions, and made threats against his life. Mr. Long inmediately surrendered, and was arranged before Esquire Max- well and on waiving an examination he was taken to jail. Application for a hearing on the writ of, habeas corpus was made to Judge Mears and granted. The case was ealled at 10 o'clock on Thursday morning and was progress- ing as we go to press.—Char.

This is no less than the entire oblitera- tion of the region known as Patagonia, which is however, not a country, but was until this agreement, simply a pieces of unclaimed territory. ‘The Panama Star and Herald announces the result of the agreement in regard to this region by the states that have absorbed it. To Chili has been assign- ed all the western slope of the Cordil- leras to the Southern extreme of the continent, to the Strait of Magellan, and all the islands off that coast. The eastern slope of the range, and the vast pampas extending to the Atlantic, are now the property of the Argentine Confederation. The Strait of Magel- lan is declared neutral, and free to all nations. The chief island of Tierra del Fuego is parted equally between the two nations, Chili taking all the other islands, including that of Cape Horn. One ae eee _ Young Girls as Teachers. Cassell’s Magazine. What can a girl do to help the com- munity in some way? ‘Teaching at present is the greatest and noblest pro- fession open to women. If that is en- tered upon direct from school, there is little fear of life being wasted in an idle, desultory way. ‘lo many a girl teaching, I know, seems dreadful drudgery, but then with it there comes, sooner or later, the satisfaction of having been a laborer in the grandest work of all life—the spreading of knowledge. Teaching, however, 1s not for every girl. With some, cireumstances do not require it, and social position does not admit of it. To such I would say do not give it up altogether; if you cannot make a profession of it you can at least teach the poor of your neigh- borhood in the Sunday School, ete. Let not this branch of the work be de- spised, for it 1s one of the most ditheult and to do it properly requires much preparation. Then there is a parish work of other kinds, such as district visiting, all of which, if engaged in, keeps a girl's life from being a failure. ee Miss Anderson ought to get married.

Now that the President’s marriage de facto has relieved the press and public from the strain of surmises and guesses, it can pull itself together and turn its atention to affairs political, social, and pious, At the Capitol Mr. Manning’s letter of resignation was regarded as just the thing that any high-minded official would do in the circumstances. An officer even tempo- rarily disabled should free the hands of his chief to make any arrangements necessary, so that the department might not suffer. The President’s letter in reply is also regar- ed as an eminently proper one. A few there were who seemed inclined to take the cor- respondence as implying a virtual termina- tion of Mr. Manping’s connection with the Treasury. Their reason for their belief is that Mr, Manning will never be the same man again and never will be able to resume control of the Treasury Department. - This view they persist in holding, notwithstand- ing Mr. Manning’s very rapid and continu- ous improvement, and inthe face of the doctor’s expressed opinion that Mr. Manning could resume work to-day without much risk, That Secretary Manning will return to the Cabinet is earnestly hoped by those who have enjoyed the cordial hospatality, and unswerving friendliness of Mrs, Man- ning during their residence here. Al- though fond of society, and certainly well calculated to shine pre-eminently in it, Mrs. Manning quickly gave up her desire to go out to any extent last winter, when the secretary found his business cares had encrouched even the hours he had to spend at home. Since his illness, Mrs. Manning has béen devoted in her attention, and was anxious until she secured the Secretary’s promise not to think of returning to work until after the summers rest. Secretary and Mrs. Manning left here yesterdey for the Warm Springs Va., but their summer plans will depend entirelyaipon the pro- gress made by the former toward recovery. The sensation at the Capitol during the week was a speech made by judge Fuller- ton, of New York, in favor of the payment by the United States of the rebel war debt, and it will be a long tine before we hear the last of it. It was suggested that the republican Congressional committee may have employed this distinguished attorney to appear before his committee on War Claims, to advocate a measure that is pro— hibited by the Constitution, but I know he came, as any other lawyer would, to carn a fee. The stupid benkers of Amsterdam, Holland, who hold several car loads of Contederate bonds, employed that celebra- ted philosspher, Rufus Hatcn, Esq., to see what could ve done about the redemption of these securities, and Uncle Rufus proba- bly told them that it was only necessary to have a bill introduced in Congress, which he would attend to, The bill) was intro- duced by Mr. Merriman, who hadmt the slightest idea that it meant what it is con- strued to mean, and then Uocle Rufus paid Judge Fullerton $1,000 to come over and make a speech in support of it. The com- mittee was panic stricken when they found what they had under consideration, but they let Fullerton finish his speech and earn his fee. This incident will doubtless be discussed upon the stump by every repub- lican campaign speaker, as proof that the rebels have captured the capital again. There seems to be a settled conviction among Government clerks that after the ad- journment of Congress there will bea whole- sale discharge, ‘Chey think that now the heads of departments fear to make many changes because they apprchend that such ac- tion would retard the progress of their ap- propriatioa bills. The officials say on the quict that the clerks are not far from right in their conjectures. The only department in which any devree of safety can be felt are the State and War. Even the Navy Department will undergoa pruning process, and many clerks who have out lived their usetulness will have to give way to efticient democrats. The discharges in the Treasury Department will, of course, be more numer- ous than in any of the others, and its clerks will count the days that intervene before the adjournment of Congress with nervous anxiety. A prominet oflictal of the Treas- ury Departinent said afew days ago that inafew months the force would be so changed that the regular visitors will think themsetves ina strange place when they come within its wall.

FARMERS COME AND SEE IRON MOWER Regarded as the most perfect one ever con- structed. It has many points of excellence to commend it to the American Farmer. Some of which are as follows: Having enlarged wheels it has quite an easy draft. The weight has been reduced several hundred pounds. A lead wheel in front of the shoe carries the weight of the cutter bar and prevents any tendency to choke with loose grass. The lead whecl forms a perfect protection to the pitman and can be set higher or lower, as may be required in bottom or stony lands, where often a change from the ordinary cut is very desirable. Another important feature in this Mower is that the cutting apparatus is kept in strict line with the pitman, so that any friction or binding is rendered impossible. This is a weak point in most mowers, and very often overlooked in purchasing, though the defect reveals itself by use. It is provided with the same kind of wooden pitman as described particularly in the remarks about the regular IRON MOWER. It is a Machine that will stand the sever- est tests and never disappoint the farmer in its work, It can be suddenly stopped and as suddenly started again in the most difficult places in a meadow, without backing up to clear the guards or give speed to the knife. A SINGLE, LIGHT REAPER is designed especially for those who own small farms. It isa center cut, one-wheeled reaper, cutting five feet wide, having the main wheel on a line with the small grain wheel, the advantages of which can be seen by the ease with which it-can be backed or turned. By the use of one lever, both ends of the platform can be raised or lowered to any desired height of cut, while another lever tilts the cutting edge to the angle reguired to pick up leaning or fallen grain, These changes can be made by the driver in his seat, with the machine in motion. There is no cog gearing in the main wheel to gather djrt and straw, as the mo- tions of gearing, raking, and tripping de- vices are all well timed and positive, en- abling the operator to size the bundles to suit the grain, its whole operation will be found simple, positive and reliable. But of his many Improvements McCOR- MICK’S STEEL HARVESTER AND BINDER is the acknowledged Type and Pattern for all Harvesting Machines and stands unexceled, unequaled and unri- valed in its design, construction and value as a RELIABLE HARVESTING IM- PLEMENT.

One author says: “Rheumatism is due to the presenee in the blood of a vegetable organism of definite character.” Another says: “It is due to the presence of a poisonn in the blood which of the nature of a miasm.” The disease having its origin in the blood, it fs reasonable to suppose that it must be cured by remedies directed to the blood. A successtul remedy must produce cer tain changes in the composition of the blood, and when this has been accom plish- ed, all pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why exter- pal applications fall to produce permanent relief. But we now have the remedy which acts like magic in giving relicf to all forms of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, rheumatism of the joints, muscles and heart.

While in Raleigh last week, among other places visited was the State's Ex- perimental Farm, which is being con- ducted under the auspices of the Agre cultural Department. To start with, do not confound experimental with yaodel farm. They are very different things. A model farm secks to present everything as typical—models of per- fection. This would include not only the modes of cultivation and the crops, but houses, stock, farm implements, and et cetera. Of such a farm it would be expected that the yield would be prolific and that the crops in all stages would be beautiful to look upon. To accomplish this, any amount of man- ure and the constant use of plow, rake and hoe would be necessary. Then the stock must be sleekest and best kept in the land; the houses most conveniently arranged and adapted to the require- ments of farm life; the implements must be of the most approved patern, bright and new—in faet the place most look like a chromo! A model of excellence as a: guide to others. Such a farm would cost a deal of money, and it need have no scientific hand to manage it. A man of experience in practical agriculture with refined taste and fond of the ornamental could run such a farm successfully. An experi- ynenta? farm means something very different. The name implies a place for experimenting in agriculture, not for exhibiting its perfections; a place for beginning at the foundation of things and studying them up, step by step, discovering not only the causes which hinder the growth and _perfec- tion of given plants, but seeking out and correcting all the evils incidental to the health of the plant and discover- ing the most available food necessary to its maturity. Often the poorest land is the best for experimental pur- poses, while it would be utterly unfit as a basis fur a model farm. Poor Jand is best for experimental purposes because it yields readily and unmis- takably to treatment. The ground se- Jected (in the old Fair ground lot) is certainly poor enough for any experi- ment. But the men entrusted with the work are earnestly und patiently Jaboring to bring out results. They complain that they have constantly to resist appeals from all classes to man- ure heavily and make pretty crops. The experiments this year are without manure except in a few instances. Ow- ing ta the late start given them, they only hope to accomplish a good start for the next year, yet they are now en- gaged in the study of three crops, from which they hope to gain much valuable jnfyrmation, as a basis for the next years work. Cotton, tobacco and cow- peas are the subjects of this year's ex- periments, Some mention of detail | may proye of interest to the agricul- tural reader. These crops are being studied in the field, in pots and in jars. In the latter they control the physical eonditions of moisture, ete., and feed them on known concentrations of plant food to ascertain in which they thrive hest. This treatment gives an insight jnto their needs, and is known as “water culture.” In the pots, the plants are grown in pure (silica) sand eontaining known quantities of plant food, and are under precisely the same physical conditions as these undergoing treatment in water culture, This lat- tor is called “sand culture.” These plants are photographed each week as permanent record, and also each week, in the fleld, they carry on “root wash- ing” i. ¢. they eut out a section of earth holding the plant, wash the soil from the roots, note their growth, penetra- tion, arrangement, ete., and have them photographed. This completes the record of the three experiments, from which dessons of value are learned, both as to the playty themselves and the soil in which they grow. The experimeysay form is supplied with meteorological instruments for registering meteorological phenomena. This is important on all experimental farms. They keep a complete record of each day's sunshine; of each day’s rainfail; of the temperature at 7 a. m., 1p. m., and 7 p. m., and of the maxi- mum and yiniyum temperatures be- tween these hours and far each 24 hours; of the temperature of the soil (3 times a day) at the depth of 3, 6, 12 and 24 inches, and also, once a week they ascertain the amount af moisture in each six inches of soil from the sur- face three feet in depth. Thijs de- monstrates the cappillarity, absorptibil- ity, ete., of the soil, which, coupled with laboratory experiments an_ soil moisture, and compared with the known rainfall, teaches valuable les- sons about the conditigns of the soil. To be perfectly frank, the mining editor knows much more about rocks than he does ahout experimental farm- jag, and if he has not made the forego- “BHURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1886. ing perfectly clear it is because he does not understand the subject as do those in charge, and because he made very brief notes. The polite managers granted every facility for giving. the jnformation, but laughed as they ex- plained the difference between a model and an experimental farm. They even said that they expected people in the back woods, who do not read any of the State papers, to suppose that they were conducting a model farm, but for their guest they saw no excuse. It was during the humiliating silence which followed this remark that the resolution was made to enlighten any of the many readers of this paper who might have a vague and uncertain idea of what the experimental farm was. People visiting the farm—unscientific people—must of course see many things which they cannot understand, and perhaps cannot appreciate, yet if they will but accept these things on their faith in the knowledge and effi- ciency of those in charge, they may rely upon being ultimately afforded some valuable, practical lessons from its workings. Knights of Labor Lose a Ray. From the reports now going the rounds of the State press, John R. Ray, of Raleigh, the State organizer of the Knights of Labor, has not cleared his skirts of the charge of being some- thing of an anarchist. This, if true, is a shameful imposition on the good working people of this State. It is not believed that they will tolerate any such nonsense, and Mr. Ray had bet- ter keep his doctrine. While writing on this subject, the following from the Shelby New Era, is to the point and is worth the serious attention of the Knights: There can be little doubt that many who join the Knights of Labor are actua- ted by no special concern for workingmen, but rather by a desire for personal gain. Some wish the trade of the Knights of Labor and others seek their votes. Neith- er of these motives can help the order, while the second may ruin it. The present leaders of the Knights properly propose to keep the order out of politics; but a large and indriscriminate membership may put it out of the power of these men to keep the order true to its fundamental principles. If it once becomes. political machine, its power of helping its mem- bers will be gone and it will soon itself soon pass away. For the special purpose of elevating the condition of labor the or- der is admirably adapted. To further purpose its membership should be con- tined to those specially interested. For the general protection and amelioration of society, we have already the church and the State. We cannot see how any other instrumentality is needed. ————_ i S: Taxes for Education. The New York Star says: The Nashville Union draws a most un- pleasant picture of the ignorance and illiteracy of Tennessee, and, referring to the opposition of its contemporaries to the Blair bill, it declares it ‘‘must be fer increasing home taxes or perpetual igno- rance.”” There is no reason why home taxes should not be sufficiently increased in ‘Tennessee to raise a sum adequate for the education of the children of the State. If the people there have not enough State pride and self respect to do this, the opening of charity schools among them by the federal government will only make them still more abject. True enough! A slight increase in any of the Southern States will swell the school fund into proper propor- tions. The South is doing a noble work in the cause of education and there is but one argument for taking the bene- fits of the infamous Blair scheme, and that is simply “let the South get what she can from the Government Treas- ury.” This is neither argument nor reason! The South is both able and willing to meet the demands of her people, so far as education is concerned, she has done it in the past and will do itin the future. - Let the mess of pot- tage go! cee ee Enforce the Law. The people of Maine take a singular satisfaction in pretending that liquor is not sold in that State. Every now and then, however, they forget themselves and inadvertently admit the truth. The clergymen of Portland recently began a movement to secure the more strict ob- servance of Sunday in that city. They have petition the City Councij to close numerous places of business on that day, and among the places enumerated they mention liquor saloons. Now, the pre- tense is that no liquor is sold in Maine on any day of the week; but here is a con- fession that it is sold every day, includ- ing Sunday. And this the result of a prohibitory law in the State from which guch legislation takes its name! Ought such a law not rather to be enti- tled “An act to promote lying and false urcencs and encourage hypocrisy ?”—N. ”, Star. This a rather sad picture to come from Maine. Let it serve as a warn- ing to those of our people who have adopted the prohibitory law. Let them be vigilant and see that the law is observed. The proper enforcement of the law is the very best argument ip its favor. a Stopping Traips, Chicago isa great town. The device of stopping railroad trains by massing women and chilren in front of the leco. motive is new and original.

Litnere is pleasure in the pathless woods, There is a rapture on the lonely shore, There is society, where none intrudes, > By the deep Sea, and music in its roar: Quite true, and it does not require a Byron’s poetic inspiration to feel it, but to express it, is quite another thing. The Carolina coast has many attrac- tions in both natural scenery and in affording opportunity for pleasure and sport. It was the good fortune of the writer to spend a few days last week at Morehead City. City is a term ap- plied in North Carolina to any place with one house, or to any place with a prospect of soon having a house. More- head City may have 500 inhabitants, but it would take close counting to find that many, unless the enumerator had a wonderful aptitude in remember- ing the past and buried dead. But the lover of nature in going to the coast is not in search of a town, but rather the long stretch of sandy beach; the fresh, exhilerating, salty, breeze; the boating fishing, and the bathing. These are enjoyable and restful. These and many other pleasures are in store for those who turn their faces foward the sea during the coming hot months. The village of Morehead City overlooks— almost without raising the eye—the waters of Bogue sound, Bogue sound is some 25 miles in length and from one to two or three miles wide, and is separated from the ocean by “sand banks” or “sand dunes’ as they are called? The sound has two communi- cating inlets with the ocean, the first, opposite Morehead, is Fort Macon inlet, and the second is Bogue inlet 25 miles down the coast from the first. At this inlet, which is also the mouth of White Oak riyer, there is noticed a_ rather curious phenomena ithe conch-shell. Going seaward, the conchs on the right hand side“of the inlet are right handed, and those on the opposite bank are left handed, 7. ¢. the curve turns in the opposite direction on these shores. In using the conch as a dipper, the first named must be held in the right hand, while the second must be held in the left, in order to bring- the thin edge tothe lips. Twelve miles further south, is the mouth of New River, famous as growing the finest oysters on the coast. But few visitors will stray so far from the delights of Morehead City. Here the fishing is excellent. At this season the catch consists of Spanish mackerel, an occasional pom- pano, sheeps head, spots and hog fish in abundance. The latter is easily caught. The fishermen use a trawl with three hooks attached, and they often bring three fish, grunting like so many pigs, to the surface. From the latter part of June to October trawling for blue fish is the chief amusement, and is all absorbing. In September the Spanish mackerel, (the best fish that grows, except the pompano) is at his best and takes the hook freely. The boating is always fine in the sound; protected by the sand dunes from the violence of gales that may be blowing at sea, it is seldom rough enough to prevent a pleasure ride. There are but few days during the season when one dares not venture be- yond the inlet into the ocean “Dark-heaving—boundless, endless, and sublime.” The light house, Fort Macon, the signal service station, Beaufort and Bogue island should be visited. While on the island there is aspecimen, genus homo, which might be visited with profit if not pleasure. He is entitled “Lige Lewis, the hermit.” The sight of him is wortha trip to Morehead. Don’t expect to see a dude, no! no! To see # genuine dude and the hermit meet face to face, in some unfrequen- ted spot, would be a rare treat indeed. The dude on beholding the hermit, could not think, he could only flee. The hermit on seeing the dude would exclaim: “Wal, I’m struck by a squall if thar haint a ‘Bogue sound lawyer’ in pants!” If it were not for the bar- nacles adhering to the brawny limbs of the hermit and the periwinkles dangled in his matted beard, one would never suppose that he had so much as even fallen overboard into the water. Evi- dently it is not meet for man to be alone. Judging from the hermit, man alone is not fit to meet. Beaufort lies just across the harbor. It seems to rise from the harbor, and looks cool and inviting. Beaufort has more than two thousand inhabitants. It should be seen because it is a finish- ed town. It has been done for some time. There were three chairs tilted back, balanced by three pairs of heels, which hung on the railing of the broad piazza at the Atlantic Hotel. They were owned by Judge F., Maj. H. and the writer, We threa gazed across the ee waters and our eyes rested on aufort. The Major is a cynic. Hear him, he says; those who inhabit yan city are content. They want nothing in the world. They live -on what comes out of the sea, When this railroad was built they were in great consternation lest it should come to their town. The men feared that the price of chickens and butter would | declared that the higher prices of the ood nope iene inerease, and they looked grave as they outside world would draw the bulk of those commodities from their doors. The women wore terror in their eyes, and some wept, wringing their hands as they cried: ‘the train might run over our children in the streets.’ They lock- ed themselves in. The town was in black until the road was located at Morehead City. The remedy was worse than the disease. Since then they have settled down to a sweet, unbroken content.” This week the North Carolina Press Association is holding its annual ses- sion in the Atlantie Hotel, which is the place of places at Morehead. Messrs Cocke & Foster Bros., the young pro- prietors, have employed a chef de cuisine that would grace Delmonico’s. Those editors are feeding on thé best the sea affords. Broiled Spanish mack- erel, delicate soft shell crabs, &c. More- head voted “wet,” and those editors who decline to run for the Legislature since the election in Raleigh, have gone to Morehead with impunity. They probably rely upon the native yeopon, an excellent tonic in malarial districts, though this reliance may have to be sup- plemefited with—well, that they must tell on themselves, —— —-- sop e-qae ——— “Head that Mule!” The voice rang through all the sur rounding buildings with an echo, and pegetrated the ears of the man to whom addressed a hundred yards off. It was an energetic common-place sort of a speech, but somehow it seemed there was a great deal in it. A mule is a heady beast and keeps his own counsels about as effectually as the next fellow. The fact is, you are not quite certain at any time what he is thinking about or what he is going to do. Many times he surprises you by feats as remarkable as they were unex- ped; as, when he takes a notion to doa a thing he rarely gives notice until it is done. The mule in question had broke his fastenings at the hitching rack, and it had entered into his head to go to his country home, not caring to spend his time in a town where every body was pushing around like mad, with nothing in the shape of hay or fodder lying around loose to engage the atten- tion of visitors like himself. “HEAD THAT MULE!” no doubt rang in his ears as clear as a bell, and he knew exactly what it meant; but with the most stoical indif- ference he went right on; for he had long since learned that it was the part of wisdom in dealing with capricious human nature, not to hear all words that are spoken. He no doubt, men- tally took them up, however, and dwelt on them as a moralist, perhaps repeat- ed them to himself with such reflec- tions as woul® befit the speaker, time and place. “HEAD THAT MULE” we will suppose him to say: “You had better say head that man, for he needs a head worse than [. He has come to town for supplies that he ought to raise on his farm, and will have to pay the tallest prices for them of any other trader who buys. He needs a head that would take in a fact like that, but not having it he will probably take in whisky, or some other deception not less hurtful. ‘HEAD THAT MULE,’ indeed! and coming from such a source, it is just ‘too funny for anything’ as I heard a young Miss remark a while ping along the street as if he had a sofe some place, or were asight too fine to set his foot down with a good honest tread.. The remark arrested my attention, and I greeted it with a soul- ful cheer, but on looking around, Miss’s eyes looked as if they would pop out of their sockets, and I observed that she had on her back—or—behind her, a bundle of hay? or fodder? or some other provender? I gave her another cheer, and the pretty thing ran away as if she thought I meant to rob her of her load. Gracious me! ‘HEAD THAT MULE’ is a request that will apply fittimgly to many subjects in this old world, and not the least are the girls who are ambitious of fashionable bumps, and the men who labor with beer distended ab- dominal dimensions; and the mechanic whose work drives him; and the mer- chant who robs the poor and favors the rich; the wood-hauler who draws in his standards; the farmer who puts the big potatoes on the top; the doctor who always knows; the lawyer who loves fees better than justice; the mag- istrate who don’t hold the balances fair; the shoemaker whose soles are rotten; the editor who dreams of rich- es; the Jass who longs to be a woman, and the boy who can foresee na danger betwixt him and pleasure, ‘HEAD THAT MULE.

The London Telegraph of a recent date, speaking of Grover Cleveland's marriage, says: The absence of affectation, and, indeed, the downright homelines displayed at the White House when Mr. Cleveland and Miss Folsom were made one, may have been intended by an“%minently sensible chief magistrate as a protest against the inordinate luxury and extrvagance which, in modern times, have character- ized the majority of the wedding of the upper ten thousand in the States. Aus- tere Boe will rub their hands with glee when they here that the number of | guests at this Spartan marriage did not exceed twenty-five, including the mem- bers of both familics, Where so much want and misery stand in such grim and close propinquity to untold wealth and unbridled luxury, it seems both a saga- cious and graceful act on the part of Mr. Cleveland? to show that the President of the United States does not derogate from his exalted position by making his wedding the plainest and simplest of af- fairs. a a eee - ’ ASSIGNEE’S SALE.

The successor of Dr. Hooper should be every way worthy of his chair. If merit be the test of fitness with the Trustees. then we can name one entitled, before all others, to the position. We lay stress, as we might, upon the fact that he is a son of North Carolina, and an alumnus of her University. We do not eniploy the argu- ment, though a sound one: “Other things being equal, preference should be given toa North Carolinian.” Our ground is, that preference should be given to him, be- cause he has no equal among his competi- core. Let the qualifications of all be sertutnized, and this assertion will be verified. Can any one show a pro- duction equal to his Neugriechischen Lautveranderungen? Measured by the high scholarship standard of Germany, he is able to teach Greek, Latin, German, History, Literature. A young scholar, he has already, in Greece and Germany attained to distinction and conferred honor upon North Carolina. He is lory and renown. Shall not North rolina, equally with Germany and Greece, ize the rare gifs, the high ambition, the indomitable energy, the unsullied character, the marked success, of her noble son? If a factitious reputation, nor an igno- ble favoriteism, but merit only, shall de- termine the selection, then will the Trus- tees, unhesitatingly, place the chaplet of honor upon the brow of JoHN EVERETT Brapy.

Bingham, of Salisbury, are reported in the Raleigh News & Observer, as receiv- ing distinctions at the closing exercises of St. Mary’s Scool. They are mentioned on the roll of Honor—average over 95 per cent—and again as taking first distinc- tion in instrumental music, in addition to which, that paper pays them the follow- ing compliment: Miss Jennie Bingham then read her essay on “Ireland and the Irish,’ in which she evidently sided with Mr. Gladstone. This young lady, the one graduate of ’86, carries off many honors. She finished the full course in French a year ago; and her part in the French play on Monday evening evidenced her famil- iarity with the language. Her exquisite rendering of the Mendelssohn capriccio Wednesday evening, and her inimitable flying machine’ showed the versatility of her talents; while her standing in the several studies as given in the roll of honor is a noble one.

A few days ago, a trial Justice, in Mor- gan township, had a negro by the name of Jacob Parker before him on a charge of murder. It seems that last fall Parker got mad at his wife while they were at- tending a corn shucking, and kicked her severely on each side of the abdomen, so that swelling resulted and she became almost an invalid. It is said that he has been giving his wife, who died on the 3rd inst., a peculiar poison, said to have been made from snake’s heads, which are cut otf for the purpose. These are then beat into a powder and given oecasional- ly in whisky. He is now in jail and will have a hearing at the next term of Row- an court. He seems to be something of a Blue- beard, having had a former wife die un- der circumstances not entirely free from suspicion, —_———- +. Cruelty to Animals. The magistrates of a county, the au- thority which protects society from all kinds of evil doers, should be men of in- tegrity, fair minded and humane. They are not all so in Rowan, though, as a rule, they are as good men as can be found in any county. Look at this pic- ture! One of the magistrates returning home from the meeting on the first of this month, was in a state of intoxication —about the only man seen in that condi- tion here for sometime. He was driv- ing a mare, which was followed by a colt. He was accompanied by a fellow magistrate, who did the driving. Some six miles from town the mare halt- ed in the road and balked. She had not been fed that day, and had been dri- yen 15 or 18 miles. The intoxicated man got out his pocket knife to cut a switch to force the animal, but instead stuck the animal near the root of the tail in- flicting a wound several inches in length. He then got astride the poor animal and dealt her two blows with the knife, the first striking a rib and the second cutting into the hollow of the animal. This last wotnd was several inches in length, and the air was inhaled and exhaled through it, in the respiration of the ani- mal. In this condition he drove some four miles further and put up for the night. It happened to be at the residence of another J. P., who on learning the facts, arrested the two magistrates, and bound them over to the next term of Rowan court in a bond of $100 each. There, you have the horrible, brutal story'as it was given the reporter by the magistrate who issued the warrant for their arrest. ee Confederate Veterans to Organize. A eonference with Maj. Stansill and other prominent Confederate soldiers in this county has resulted in a call for all of the oid Confederate soldiers now resi- dent in the county to meet in the court- house, in the town of Salisbury, on the 15th day of July. The purposes of the organization are manifold. The Confed- erate soldiers of the State, and of the South generally have organized, and yery naturally they should. They can do much toward correcting the history of the war, which has been sadly neglected from the Southern point. One of the good things likely to grow out of the or- ganization of the Rowan soldiers will be to encourage—perhaps organize—a monu- mental association, with the view of erecting a monument to Rowan’s noble dead. There were many who deserve the honor, but there was one in particu- lar who was conspicuous for his courage’ and for his generosity to the cause. The people of Rowan, and other counties ad- joining, will not forget the gallant Col. Chas. Fisher, and they will be glad of an opportunity to contribute to a monu- ment to be erected to his memory. He not only uniformed and equipped his regiment, (the 6th N.C.,) consisting of ten companies—about 1000 men—at his own expense, but gave his life for the cause. A monument of Dunn’s Mountain granite would be suitable. One face should be inscribed to Col. Fisher, anoth- er tothe more than a thousand men from Rowan, who rest unsung, neath the sod of distant battle fields. > a Enochville Items.

Just now there is but little ef general interest in the mining districts of the State. There area number of prospec- pectors abroad, but they are slow in re- porting results. There is no dimunition in the normal operations of the active mines; the work is generally progressing satisfactorily, yet devoid of incident. The producing mines are keeping up their records to the average. Yancy County. At Paint Gap, in Yancy county, mining operations, for gold, have been commen- ced by two gentlemen of experience. They have gone to work in an entirely new territory, but have done so after a deliberate survey of the ground. Their progrees will be watched with interest. Goid Hill. It is the intention of the present man- agement of the Gold Hill mines to sink the main, Randolph, shaft several hun- dred feet deeper in order to prove the ground at greater depth. It will be re- membered that this shaft is now 750 feet deep, and it is probable that it will reach a thousand feet under the direction of this management. The company organ- ized for this work will not rest untila thorough knowledge of the situation is had. The company is composed of Lon- don and Swansea (Wales) gentlemen, the latter being interested in the famous Swansea reduction works. Mike Holtshouser Mine. At the Holtshouser mine, in this coun- ty, Superintendent Tiernan, has erected a hoist, and is preparing to set up other machinery. It is reported that the ma- chinery once used at the now idle Bullion mine has been purchased and will be set up at the Holtshouser. The machinery consists of a ten stamp mill, pump &c., and some of the buildings. The work now being done at the Holtshouser is in the main shaft. It had to be enlarged to twice its former proportions—it was originally a prospecting shaft. It is now going down as rapidly as possible, and is full size. The property contains 64 acres, lying adjacent to the Gold Knob mines, There a number of veins of auriferous matter on tHe place varying in size from G inches to4 feet. Some fine placer gold has been found on Kluttz’s branch, which runs through ihe pro- perty. - The McMackin Mine. The McMackin mine lies just over the Rowan border in Cabarrus county, and belongs tothe Gold Hill group. Work is now going on in there under the super- intendence of Mr. Townsand, of Penn. He has put upa whim, and is sinking the old work shaft, which was sunk some 40 years ago. When the shaft was first sunk some of the ore taken from it was worked at the Gold Hill mill and yielded from 75 cents toone dollar a bushel. The shaft has been cleared and they have struck the vein where former work was abandoned. There are 256 acres in the property, which is supposed to have all the veins of the Gold Hill and Union mines on it, as it lies on the southeastern extension of those yeins. The present work is being prosecuted on the extreme western portion of the property. No work has as yet been done on the other gold, silver and copper veins. It is re- ported that Mr, Townsend has bought Geo. Counter’s interest in the Mike Isen- hour place, and that he has also bought the machinery formerly used at that mine, and that it will be taken to the McMackin at an early day. _ PRENATAL NNCT YORE. aS RAR ARAM SRTC, 7 ‘For the W alcninan. From the Banner Township. Messrs. Editors:—At present we pro- pose to confine our remarks mainly to some matters and’ things relating to Frankiin township. Owing to the late Spring and heavy rains, our people have had a hard strttg- gle to get their farms and crops in good condition. At present, however, the crops are generally clean, and corn, cot- ton and tobacco are growing finely, and if there are no more adverse seasons, a fine crop may be looked for. . As a general thing the wheat crop is very inferior, though now and then. you find a field which was properly pit in and well fertilized, that will make a good yield. ” The oat crop is unusually fine—the best I think I ever saw—as the season has been just right for it. We have quite a number of grain drills, and a large pro- portion of our wheat and oat crops were put in with them. With us, clover.is becoming quite an item. You will hardly find a farm where there is not more or less grown. I have seen one farm on which there eannot be less than fifty acres heavily clovered, and I suppose the yield of the first crop must have been from forty to fifty tons and probably much more. The grape interest is also becoming a large item, and in traveling around, you will see many embryo vineyards of from one to five hundred vines, whilst there are several persons having from one to two or three thousand. Notably amongst our grape growers may be mentioned Messrs. John Fisher, A. M. Cruse, all three of the Thomason brothers, Mrs. Reeves, A. L. Hall, W. R. Fraley and others, Market gardening is also becoming quite an item, and on two different farms, I have seen on each, what I supposed to be one acre in onions alone, whilst others have large areas in cabbage from which they are now selling hard heads. Without a doubt, there are more fine fruits grown here, (especially early peach- es,) than in any other township, and no- tably amongst our fruit growers are the Thomason brothers, H. C. Bost, J. A. Hudson, T. P. Thomason, W. R. Fraley and others. This year the peach trees haye a heavy crop, and large profits were anticipated from that source, but the late heavy rains and cool, cloudy weather have caused them to rot, and at this date the prospect is that we will have none for market unless there is a change in the weather to arrest their rotting. The apple crop is abundant. . For some time past, the prices of tobac- co have ruled so low that our farmers have become discouraged. and the acre- age planted is much less than in former years, but having less to cultivate, they will probably try to make a better grade, and get better prices and more money in the end. It has sometimes been mooted as to the number of tobacco barns we have in Franklin. A short time since, a very re- liable gentleman told me, that he had in- vestigated the matter, and after a careful count he estimated the aggregate num- ber, at about 150, many of which are ar- ranged for curing by the flue system. The business of fish culture has as- sumed considerable proportions with us, as we have quite a number of private ponds, in which the German Carp are raised. Some have recently gone into the business, whilst othere notably W. R. Fraley, Esq., and J. A. Kluttz, each have two ponds, the former has been in the business for fifteen and the latter about four years, and they both have in their ponds, large numbers of carp rang- ing from four years old, and twelve pounds in weight, to thousands of young fry just hatched. So far as we can learn, the people of our township are fully satisfied with the action of the magistrates in re-electing the old board of County Commissioners, enough we have no doubt some persons in other portions of the county were per- sonally disappointed. When you see a person drive rapidly into town, and run around to e hands with every voter and make himself generally familiar, and say to every one e meets, ‘we intend to make a chair- man out of you to-day,” and again, whilst the meeting is in session, when you see an individual popping up and throwing bomb shells, aire resolu- tions, making motions, offering amend- ments and generally retarding the pro- gress of the business of the convention, making themselves conspicuous, you may set it down as a ‘maxim of eternal truth,” that ¢kat individual has an “axe to grind,” and is aiming at more than he has the courage to avow, which don’t count worth a cent. By thy way, Col. Sumner, as mouth- piece of the Board of Commissioners, re- commended the levying of 65 cents tax on the hundred dollars worth of proper- ty. Doubtless this recommendation was made after a careful and minute calcula- tion was made of the needs of the coun- ty. This was to cover all expenses, run the schools, ete., and yet it met with some opposition. * * * Is any of our sister townships cursed with a country grog shop? that greatest and most damning of curses to be fast- ened on any community! Such a place is always the centre of attraction, the rendezvous of the idle, the low and the vicious. All the disturbances of a com- munity generally originate at such places, and yet there are men of small enough souls, and so devoid of pride, as to pre- side over such pestiferous establishments. There is one such in Franklin township, which all good citizens desire to see abated. More anon. THE MAN ABOUT THE COUNTRY.

Every now and then, some one asks why white lead powders, cracks and wears out so soon. ‘To many, there seems to bea mystery about it. The painter is often blamed, but the best of white lead will powder, some, sooner than others. The cause is due to the small amount of oil it takes up. If a lead could be made that would take up fifteen gal- lons of oil tothe hundred pounds and hold a good body, perfection would be attained. The present average is not over six gallons. The addition of pig- ments to white lead, which absor a large amount of oil, greatly improves the quality of the paint, and retards ‘“‘powdering.’’ It makes colored paint better forthe property owner, but when a white house is wanted, zinc should be used. It is the only perfect white and it makes a hard covering, washes well, and stands a long wear. It absorbs about ten j gallons of oir to the hundred pounds. It takes five coats of zinc to cover as heavy as three coats of white lead, but the coats are thin, holding twice the oil and as oilis the durability of the paint, it is plain that zinc is the coming pig- ment for out side work. It is now used for inside painting, in the large cities. It is better forthe property owner in durability—no powdering, and better for the painter in point of health—no colic. Weight is not a proof of merit in a paint. Oil weighs seven and a half pounds to the gallon, lead absorbs six gullons to the hundred pounds, and zinc ten gallons. Barite (heavy spar) isa white stone almost as heavy as lead; without body; absorbs very little oil, taking only two gallons to the hundred pounds. It is very easy to make a poor paint weigh heavy. it is used to cheapen goods for those who in- sist on buying cheap goods. Always be willing to pay areasonable price for a good article and you will save money in the long run. B. B.

Charles W. Smith of Georgia, is well known in the South asa humor- ist dnd philosopher of the eommon- sense order. He is aman of observa- tion and totes on bis shoulders a deci- dedly level head. He is better known by a pseudonym—“Bill Arp.” He has been lecturing in this State, and as he travels he writes letters to Southern newspapers. He has furnished the At- lanta Constitution with a very reada- ble account of what he has seen and heard in the Newbern and Wilson sections. Among other topics he re- fers to the perplexities of the people in those and other sections over the free school question. He gives an account of the legal vexation and comes to the conclusion that “too much education spoils the negro and smacks of com- mupism.” * * * # In Wilmington the whites pay nine- tenths of the taxes, and yet the ne- groes receive more from the common school fund than the whites receive. But the Constitution forbids whites to tax themselves any additional sum a the ani pen ~ aoe oe offspring. Is this right? Is this what a Pescenuighteiea people ought to tolerate? If, the Constitution is not altered then there will be an increase of a sen- timent that more or less prevails—-that it isa wrong principle to make one class bear the burdens of another class. The whites pay 85 per cent. of the whole taxes, and they have to bear nearly all of the burdens of govern- ment. There are many thousands of white voters who are opposed to being taxed annually for the schooling of ne- groes, and the number will be increas- ed under such a Constitution. Maj. Smith has found this sentiment evi- dently in his travels in the South. He Says: “Well, now the question is what is right. Some years ago [ was horrified and indignant at the idea of compell- ing one man to half educate another man’s children. Iam not yet recon- ciled to either its justice or its policy, but I surrendered and fell into line. I can see no more reason in being forced to give my neighbor’s children learn- ing than in being forced to give them bread or clothing, or to pay their doc- tor’s bill. If they could not get some education without my aid, and it was well established that their education as essential to the public good, then I would feel that the new system was right.” He is not a convert to the Blair idea that education has really elevated the negroes and made them better citizens. He gives a case in point. He says: “As I travelled to Newbern I saw the Solicitor of that judicial district. He was a very hard looking mulatto, and attracted general attention from his profuse profanity and his bragado- cio. The negroes in that district are about five to one of the whites, and they elected this loud mouthed hybrid. * Education taught this man the arts of the demagogue and the profane swagger of the vagabond, and not much else.” ee The Puncher in His Honor’s Court. From the Detroit Free Press. ; “Henry Blaadt, this is a fine morn- ing. “If-she vhas I doan care.” “Don’t you feel well ?” “Who vhas vell if he shtays in der shail among der bugs oafar night?” “Well, it does cool the enthusiasm, I suppose.

To feel absolutely protected against Fever and Ague, Malarial fever, Typhoid fever, Typhus fever, Gastric fever, Bilious fever, Diphtheria, Pneumonia, Scarlatina, Summer Complaint, Blood Poisoning, and all and every form of com- mon disease ? a Is it worth anything to be able to effectually cleanse the blood in your entire system, to renew ® your youth, and invigorate all the organs of your body; to permanently cure Costiveness, Dyspep- sia, Water-brash, and sour stomach? To cure Jaundice and stoppage of Gall ducts, to cure Sick-headache and Biliousness, to cure Liver complaint and Cancerous liver, to cure Kidney diseases of long standing? To be free from Gout, Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and kindred troubles? Is it worth anything to enjoy good health, to havea appetite, and to sleep well? If all these things are w anything, you can secure them almost for the asking. We know from long experience that this statement is true, but we also know that few will accept itastruth. Noth- ing but actual] experience in the use of Parsons’ Pills could bring a person to realize fully their marvellous power to prevent and cure disease. Are not you willing to take our word, to run the risk of being swindled, so to speak, out of 25 cents, for the possibility of securing such apices blessing as we know Parsons’ Pills would to you? if you should once become acquainted with these Pills, you would never cease to be grateful. Parsons’ Pills were a wonderful discovery, and there are none others ike them in the world. The information contained in the wrapper around each box is worth many times the cost of a box of the Pilla. We'use the purést drugs to be found in the known world; but even these, be- fore being used, are subjected to the see urifying process known only to the chemist’s art. f families and individuals could only be made to realize marvellous power of Parsons’ Pills in the vention and cure of disease, and in promoting the general health, a vast amount of suffering and expense might be prevented. Our business was established in 1810, and is the oldest of the kind in this country. Is it, there- fore, likely that we would put forth an untruth- ful or deceptive statement? Frauds and false pretenders do not remain long in business in this country. We suppose that Parsons’ Pills may be found at your nearest store; but if not, we will send one box by mail, post-paid, for 25 cents in stamps. Or we will send two boxes of Pills and a beautiful engraving of President Cleve- Jand and his Cabinet for 50 cents, all post-paid. The engraving is 24x30, and retaila for 50 cents. We will send free to all who send us their ad- dress a handsome illustrated pamphlet contain- ing information of great valne. If you order mention this paper. Address Dr. I. S.

Scales, who had consented to be present and present the prizes to the winners. At 10:30 o'clock, the procession, headed by the Charlotte cornet band, and composed of the stu- dents. members of the faculty, trustees and distinguished visitors, formed on the campus and moved to the chapel, where the exercises were opened with prayer by one of the visiting ministers. Dr. McKinnon, president of the col- lege, then introduced Mr. Charles S. (filmer, of Greensboro, who delivered the address of salutation. His words were fittingly chosen and his address was a polished effort. Mr. Edward Mack, of Fort Mills, was the next speaker and his theme was “Communism in its de- structive relations to society.” His theories were sound and his interpre- tation of his text was unique and inter- esting. Mr. Donald F. Sheppard, of Long Branch, Ga., was the third speaker and he discoursed upon “Materialism as op- osed to the spirituality of the mind.” The audience were deeply interested in his address, the argument being alike ingenious and forcible. “George Elliot,” was the subject of a finely composed and excellently deliver- ed address by Mr. 8. Chandler Baker, of Sumter, 8. C. Mr. Brevard E. Harris, of Poplar Tent, Cabarrus county, gave the audi- ence 2) minutes entertainment among the stars, his subjest being ‘“Astrono- my,” at all times an interesting one, but especially so when treated in the 3. talented young graduate.

C.; Robert Dickey Ross, Pine- ton, N. C., and Graham M. McQueen, Swain’s Station, N. C. The valedictory was delivered by Mr. Joseph McMurray, of Gadsden, Ala., and the effort was a very graceful and appropriate one. The benediction was then pronouneed, and the com- mencement was over. A very large crowd of people were in attendance, and last night the campus and the so- ciety halls were thronged with happy young couples, enjoying themselves as only the young can. The commence- ment was a decided success, and savor- ed greatly of the life and activity of the olden days. It seems really as if the glory of the bygone commencements was surely returning. A FEW INTERESTING PROCEEDINGS. At the annual meeting of the ‘board of trustees, in addition to the usual routine of business, the following busi- ness of general public interest was transacted: Dr. Currell, of S. C., was elected to to fill the chair of English Psychology, and Political EKeonomy. Prof. C. C. Norwood was continued as acting pro- fessor of Physics and Astronomy. The board appoiuted a committee to devise a plan for a reduction of the trustees. An arrangement was perfected by which students of the college are here- after to receive medical attention free of all costs. THE SEMI-CENTENNIAL. The subject of celebrating David- son's semi-centennial, which occurs next June, was discucsed by the board of trustees, and the proposed celebra- tion was heartily concurred in. Steps were taken to perfect all arrangements for the celebration. The Alumni A3so- ciation also endorsed the movement and passed a resolution to the effect that they would unite in an effort to make the celebration a grand success. —————- > -—_ —_ N. Carolina Two Hundred Years Ago. Raleigh Newg-Observer. Yesterday a reporter had the pleasure of examining a very old State map, lately received by the secretary of State from London. ‘Lhe original is in “Her Majesty's State paper office,” and this is a photograph copy of it procured by Col. Saunders for publication in his “Colonial Records,” now in press. The French and has the following title: “Carte General de la Caroline. Dresse jur les memoires le plus nou- eavux. Par le Siena S., a Amsterdam. Chez Pierre Mortier librarie. Avec privilege de nos Seigncurs les Estate.” ‘The date is ascertained to be about 16- 80, cansequently the map 1s a little over 200 years old. [tis remarkably correct, especially along the coast line, and Pimany names are the same as now. Others are changed, more or less, in spelling and pronunciation, but will still be recognized. Roanoke river was called “Noratoke.” Tarr river was *Pantegoe,” which included all of Pam- lico sound. “Cape Fear, or Clarendon river.” is shown as the N. E. Branch Cape Fear. Chowan was called * Way- noch river and Albermrrle sound was “Albermarle river.” “Somerton” (in Virginia, just north of Gates. county, ) is shown 1n_ its present position. Of the inlets shown are “Caratock,”’ “Nouveau passage,” “Vine Passage,” “Passage de Hatteras,” and *“W osoton (now culled Ocracoke inlet). On the north side of Albermarle sound 1s shown “Compte qd’ Albermarle” and north of Wilmington is ‘Comte de Clarendon.” Just south of Santee river is “Comte de Craven,” and next below is ‘Comte de a Quite a number of plantations anc settlements are shown near the coast and off-shore soundings appear to have been made. Sand-bars of the capes are also indica- ted. Inland the tophography is mea- gre and incorrect; for instance, the “Montagnes Apalatian” cover that part of the State where Rowan and Davide son counties are situated and a consid- erable range of mountains is shown about where Florence, S. C. is now, Col- leton and Roanoke islands are shown correctly, but the Dismal swamp and Mattamuskeet lake are not laid down. “Nassepung” and “ Allegator” rivers are shown and a good many small creeks are named. “Capt. Willobie’s Planta- tion” is shown, on Blackwater river, and Neuse river is properly laid down, but is much too short. Several paths or trails running N. W. from points along the coast are shown, but they seem to lose themselves in the “Mon- tagnes Apalatian,” or go nowhere in particular. “Lockwood Folley shown, but it is not clear whether the name is fora settlement or a creek.

C., Origin of the Word ‘‘Boodle.” The origin of the word “boodle,* which has obtained such notoriety of late, is giving rise to a considerable amount of discussion, but there is little doubt that is simply a slang Western term, implying money in bulk. The Chicago News suggests that it may be a corruption of “boodle,” a small Scotch coin, in value about one-third of a penny. In New England the term “boodle” is in common use, signi- fying the whole or all—the entirely of anything. Ingenious __ philologists might speculate on the connection be- tween “boodle” and the Gothic botan, meaning plunder or profit.—Reading Times. ; [“The whole Ker-boodle” is slang in parts of this State. The spelling of the prefix (Ker) is purely euphonic, as we have never seen the word in print. As to its origin, we know-nathing, but incline to the opinion that it is post bellum slang. It means the whole lot, the tout ensemble, and is applied to per- sons and things.—Ep. ] _ —_$~—>-—___ ——_ The Bell of Justice. From the Odd Fellow’s Talisman. It is a beautiful story that in one of the old cities of Italy the king caused a bell to be hung in a tower of one of the public squares, and called it the “bell of justice,” and commanded that any one: who had been wronged should go and ring the bell, and so call the magistrate of the city, and ask and re- ceive justice. And when, in course of time, the lower end of the bell rope rotted away a wild vine was tied to it to lengthen it; and one day an old and starving horse that had been abandon- ed by its owner and turned out to die wandered into the tower and trying to eat the vine rang the bell. And the magistrate of the city coming to see who had rang the beel, found this old and starving horse and caused the own- er of the horse, in whose service he had toiled and had been worn out, to be summoned before him, and decreed that as this poor horse had rung the bell of justice, he should have justice, and that during the remainder of the horse's life his owner should provide for him proper food and drink and stable. —————~.___—. A Dastardly Deed. Last Sunday, one mile above the railroad bridge on the Holston River, a small crowd of men congregated. Among them were three young men, Alexander Jones, Thomas Early and John Davis. Aftersome demonstrations of ill feeling toward Davis, they took him by force into the river about one- third the distance from the bank. He per- sisted and tried to pull loose, saying he could not swim and if carried in deep water he would drown. After getting into deep water they turned him loose and swam for the shore. Davis sank to the bottom and was drowned before any one on the bank could get to him. Jones and Early refused to go back and help him out.’ They have been arrest- ed and had a preliminary hearing be- fore Exq, Beh Chestnutt last Tues- day, and, in default of bail, were com- mitted to jail. The Grand Jury being in session, found a true bill against them for murder in the first degree. This is one of the most outrageous cases that has ever occurred in our country. When the body was recover- ed, marks of the murderer's fingers were found on his wrists and on his body, caused by his hard struggles to get loose. Davis is said to be a half witted boy of about 17 years of age; father and mother are dead. He came from North Carolina, and has been working in the neighborhood where he was drowned, just for his board and clothes.— Holston Review. ~~... —_——_ Immigration Items. Mr. N. C.

The hearty expressions of regret from men of. all classes and_ politics when the fortunately false news of the death of Henry Ward Beecher was cir- culated, recalls the epigrammatic opin- ion of one of the leading English mu- sicians, who came to this country with a letter of introduction to Mr. Beecher, and was invited to a family dinner. After dinner Mr. Beecher and his guest. had a long chat in the library, and the Brooklyn pastor told a number of stories. which, if not calculated to bring the conscious blush to the cheek of innocence, were at least pointed enough to amuse the London man of the world. In the evening Mr. Beecher took his visitor to the theater to see Salvini in “Othello.” After his return home the Englishman was asked if he had been disappointed in the famous Henry Ward Beecher. “Yes, T was,” he replied. “How were you disappointed ?” “Why, [expected to meet a minis- ter, don't you know, and I found—a man!” ee ae WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our Regular Correspondent. WASHINGTON June 14, 1886. Having entered upon the seventh month of the first session of the forty ninth Con- egress, the lower House proposes to make an eifort to crowd the work through within the time consumed by the session ending July 15th 1884. This prospect to the out- side observer, is not. very promisiug; but those supposed to direct the majority of the upper and lower Houses, say that it can and probably will be accomplished. There is already talk of introducing a res- olution in the House fixing June 26th, for adjournment, with the expectation that the date will not be set mere than ten or twelve days beyond that time. The President and his wife have under contemplation a tour of the northern lakes with a select party of friends ina chartered steamer, during the summer, It is proba- ble that they will spend some time on the cea-cost and in the mountain regions after the adjournment of congress, and then go to their old home in Buffalo. According to the programme they will leave Buffalo some time in August and makea trip which will include Lake Erie, Huron and Michi- gan, making stops at points of interest. The programme may be varied or abandon- ed, but it is under serious consideration at the White House and will probably be carried out. Much will depend upon the date of the adjournment of Congress. Congress does not adjourn before August, Washington, and his summer outing, as now proposed, will be abandoned, that t tour of the lakes, and him.

It is probable, if the truth were known that the presence of Stephen Elkins, son-in-law of Mr. Davis, and Blaine’s lieutenant in the last campaign, was the only drawback which the President found in spending the first of his married life at Deer Park. It was really laughable to see with what alac- rity the fat witted Elkins reachedgthe lat- ter place from New York in order to have his arrival announced during the Presi- dent’s sojourn there. Mr. Elkins is by no means a close mouthed person and there- fore though only arriving at Deer Park on the morning of Mr. Cleveland’s departure he managed to interview him and parade his views of the President in the press dis- patches the following day.

A successful remedy must produce cer- tain changes in the composition of the blood, and when this has been accom plish- ed, all pain, swelling and stiffness of the joints subside. This accounts for the reason why exter- nal applications fall to produce permanent relief. But we now have the remedy which acts like magic in giving relicf to all forms of rheumatism, rhenmatic gout, rheumatiém of the joints, muscles and heart. It also cures syphilitic and mercurial pains and rheumatism in an incredibly short time, The fact cannot be denied that B. B. B. (Botanic Blood Balm) has proven itself to be the most speedy and wonderful remedy for all forms of rheumatism ever before known. Those who were prostrated in bed and could not get about, have been cured. Men with two crntches, and hobbling along with stiffened and painful joints, withered flesh, loss of sleep and appetite, are cured by the use of B. B.B. Cast aside all other remedies, use B.B. B. and you will soon have no use for crutches. Many who read this will refuse to be cured by the use of B. B. B., but we advise all such to drop us a postal card for our Book of Wonder, free, which is filled with startling proof of cures made here at home. It also contains full information about blood and skin diseases, which everybedy should read. Address Blood Balm Company, Atlanta, Ga., and you may be made happy.

Protection is robbery—the robbery of the many for the benefit of the few. It is repugnant tothe genius and spirit of our form of government, which recognizes all men as free and equal sharers in the benefits and blessings of Republican liberty, and to the State and national constitutions which oppose class legislation as dangerous to the prosperity of our institutions. Since 1860 the money-grabber, the land-grabber, and the corporation monopolists, with the as— sistance of the Republican party, have been piling up great fortunes by unconstitution- al legislation, and it is time to call a halt. The workingmen of Philadelphia have awakened to an appreciation of these facts, and we confidently look for the working- men everywhere else to array themsclves onthe side ofthe Democratic party, the party of free trade and opposition to class legislation and monopolies.— Memphis Ap- peal Dem.

THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1886. ——___ — Hydrophobia. Robby Robinson, youngest son of Col. John Robinson, in the vicinity of Wadesboro, N. U., says the Wadesboro Intelligencer, was bitten the 16th of August, 1884, by @ st@in ge dog that came to his father's house.

On the 10th of June, the bov was siung by a bee on the "+ the vld wound made by the dog, and the next day his behavior was strange and on Saturday morning he complained of feeling sick and weak. His futher made him a milk toddy, but he had scarcely touched his lips to it, when he was seized with a spasm. From that time spasms returned from five to seven minutes until death re- leased him from his sufferings about 1 o'clock Sunday. His mind remained clear end calm for some hours after the spasms came on, and he conversed rationally; but towards the last he be- came furious and difficult to restrain even by force. nn Asheville to the Front.

Dr. Woodrow insists that he has not taught error. He says: “T have reiterated over and over again in every form my belief that the Scriptures do not teach God’s mode of creation; that they teach the fact, but not the method: and, therefore, that neither the hypothesis of immediate creation nor the hypothesis of creation by evolution can contradict the Scriptures; that every word of the Sacred Scriptures is absolute- ly true, but that to the Christian believer it is immaterial what scientific views he may hold, provided such views do not contradict the Sacred Scriptures.” A large majority of his brethren in the ministry have comdemned him, and many of them are able men.— Wil. Star. A large part of the laity, no doubt, agree with the decision of the ecclesias- tics, yet it cannot be denied that there is an element who think on this subject just as Dr. Woodrow does. In this State there are professors in colleges and ministers in pulpits who entertain these views, and they are devout, pious, men. They hold these scientific views outside of their religion and say they do not necessarily conflict. . The Cherokee Indians.

MIUM LIST. The premium list of the State fair of 1886 is a notable one. The $6,000 in premiums catch the eye and show the liberality of the State agricultural society. Among the premiums are, for cotton: $50 for best bale, $50 for largest yield from five acres, $50 for largest yield upon one acre where Raleigh standard guano was used. The second premiuos are all valuable. For tobacco the chief premiums are: For best ten pounds bright lemon wrappers $40; for same ma- hogany wrappers, $40; for best ten pounds yellow leaf made by use of Raleigh stan- dard guano $50. The second premiums are valuable, and other premiums are offer- ed. For corn $50 is offered for the largest yield from five acres, $50 for largest yield by use of Raleigh standard gaano. For the largest yield of wheat on five acres $50 is offered and the same for oats. For rye and rice valuable premiums offered as well as for field peas, ground peas, seeds, hay, root crops, garden crops, &c. There are for the field and garden crops alone ne less than seventy six premiums, aggregating over $1,000. For the largest yield of hay from one acre no less than $50 is offered. These liberal premiums please the farmers. Inthe department of horses there are several hundred dollars in premiums, such as $25 each for best thoroughbred stallion, best thoroughbred brood mare, best trot- ting bred stallion, best trotting bred mare, best heavy draft stallion, best brood mare, best teams of carriage or buggy horses (heavy and light), best banker pony. In the cattlet departmen, of which Mr. W.C. Stronach is director, there are nu- merous prizes. Among these are best bull $20, cow $20, herd $40; of Jersey, Guernsey, Devon, Ayrshire, Short-horns, Holsteins, Ilereford and grade or pative breeds. There is a sweepstake prize of $40 for the best milch cow in North Carolina, of any bred. For sheep there are liberal prizes. The premiums inthe other departments, poultry, orchard, products, pantry supplies, manufactures, ladies work, &c., are liberal. The best display of evergreens, flowers and ornamental shrubs will reccive a pre- mium of $25 to flourist, and $15 to ama- tuers. - For the best original painting, the sub- ject to be North Carolina scenery, the premium is $90. There are otler liberal premiums in the department of fine arts, of which Dr, R. HU. Lewis, of Raleigh, is direc- tor. The race purses are handsome, ranging from $375 to $12.50. The arranzement of these premiums is much more satisfactory than in past years. At the last fair the new system was inaugurated and worked well. Asa new departure the premium list (which may be had upon application to secretary John Nichols, at Raleigh) gives the rates of fare for special tickets to the fair from all points on the Wilmington & Weldon, Ralesch & Gaston, Raleigh & Augusta, Carolina Central, Western North Carolina, Richmond & Danville and Cape Fear & Yadkin Valley railways. The rates on other lines (which will be the same) will be announced later. The prospects are bright for a grand fair. The fare from Salisbury to Raleigh and return is $3.95.

The May bulletin of the N. C. board of health, of which Dr. Thomas F. Wood is the efficient secretary, is before us, with | reports from about forty counties. We notice the prevalence of hemorrhagic malarial fever in several counties where it had not been previously observed. Evidenily that disease is making its way to other séctions, just as the diphtheria did some thirty years ago. There are jail reports from thirty-six counties, show- ing an average jail population of seven or eight toa county, which would make 700 for the entire State. Iredell had 382 in jail, Edgecombe 28, Wayne 25, Forsyth 23, Buncombe and Rowan 15, Tyrrell and Macon none. Of 160 jail birds only 45 could read and write. ; There in the same 386 counties 508 in- mates 6f poor houses, making the total pauper population in the State probably about 1,500. Of 280 of these only 82 can read and write. Fifty three counties have no superintendent of health and conse- quently these make no reports. Those which make reports generally indicate a spirit of advancement in the matter of sanitary condition and we have reason to believe that the evil of bad jails, which has been a crying evil in the land, is now being eradicated. An enlightened people will see to their jail and prisons.—News & Observer. —_—— The Blair Bill Dead. WasuHINcTon, D.

All efforts made in behalf of the tobacco interest, and in maintain- ing a market for the weed, have been re- warded beyond the predictions of the | most enthusiastic. The location for the gallows on which Frank Gaston, the condemned negro, is to be hung, has not been determined upon. One applicant tothe sheriff in stating why he would like the excution to take place on his land said: ‘There is entirely too much ’possum hunting going on over my property, and I think it would fright- en off agood many if they knew a man had been hung there.” The Presbyterian Sunday School has | been trying to have a picnic since the Ist of June, but as each succeeding day rolls around, the weather is found to be un- It is hoped | now that the matter will be postponed j until the middle of the August draught.

The July Hanging. | Sheriff Krider bought a hempen cravat | to be worn by the negro rapist, Frank |Gaston, on the second day (Friday) of July. It is a serious business, and the County Commissioners in making the /execution of this criminal public, did so for the sake of the living; to teach sever- al lessons. In the first place, that there is a law which is swift enough in bring ing criminals to justice; that it can and will be executed without the aid or as- sistance of the people, save twelve, who must pronounce on the inocence or guilt after hearing the evidence. In these days of violence and lynching, this fact seems to have been overlooked. In the next place it is intended san awful spectacular warning to the illiterate and non-reading classes of the community, and to teach in the most solemn and im- pressive manner that the rapist—fiend in- carnate—must die; that the law says he must dic and that the scene before them is the triumph of law. The hanging is to take place on the right hand side of the Gold Hill road, just beyond the town justify such an action. It is not believed that signers can be gotten for such pur- pose. The Judge who tried the criminal thought him guilty, and it is indirectly his suggestion that the execution be made public as a warning. He also inti- mated the necessity of an occasional public hanging in order to check the ten- dency of the times—the execution of the law in an unlawful manner, by lynching, Petty Political Humming. Who is going to the Legislature from Rowan? A swarm, and a good sized one at that, of Legislative bees are humming in the town, on the roads, and in the fields. The humming is growing louder and more distinct. These little fellows are doing their best to make as much fuss as a ‘“‘queen bee,’’ but the summer has not advanced far enough yet for a decis- ion. The weather is not nigh hot enough for such important business. Wait until it gets so hot that you cannot think about anything else, then the right man will naturally come into your mind. In Ca- barrus they are trying to make a hum, but it goes slow—long drawn out, you know. Bide your time for the weather— and bide the time for a nomination. With the departure of leafy June, comes hard shaking July and then the dog days; but many will survive this season. EDD SD ea Bad Behavior. Some of the thoughtless and meddle- some youths of Salisbury are amusing themselves by doing over and over again the stalest kind of worn out funny things. They have long since lost any flavor of humor they might have posses- sed. The last achievement was far below the order described above, and consisted in moving the signs from certain saloons and placing them on the premises of prominent citizens. A beer sign on the piazza of a minister and a liquor sign on the front of a prominent gentleman’s re- sidence, who isa member of one of the leading churches of the town. This may have seemed very funny to the per- petrators, but there is not a ghost of hu- mor about it. It is simply a demonstra- tion of the pernicious wickedness and utter destitution of all refined feeling on the part of the doers, It is a case for the police and they are on the look-out now for that class of offenders. EE SOO The Neave Concerts. The two concerts by the Neave music on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of this week, proved to be the great success which was expected from the well known ability and good taste of these earnest musicians. The programmes were made up of popular material and in ample diversity by the introduction of orchestral instruments. school, The programme on Tuesday evening was as follows : Grand Vocal Waltz, “Life's Amenities— Misses Baker, Keen, Wallace, Neave, Young, M.

The hall was packed—rarely has there been seen a larger audience in the hall than greeted ‘‘The Sleeping Beauty”’ last Wednesday evening. The opening piece was an Overture— “Sounds of Spring” by Annie Bingham and Bessie Brown, at the piano, and the following orchestral instruments, obligato: two cornets, chimes, cuckoo, &e.

The scenic effect was extraordinarily good. The costumes of the young ladies were appropriate and tasteful; their deli- cate tints greatly heightened the effect of the stage scene. But the perfect control over yoice and the easy, natural stage ap- pearance of the whole, was a subject of remark, The young ladies did themselves great credit and exhibited in av high degree the thorough and careful training to which they had been subjec- ted. Altogether, the eutertainment was a gem of its kind, and was fully appre- ciated by the vast audience gathered to hear it. general Reginal Heber, infant son of Mr. A. H.

He died on last Thursday, MINING DEPARTMENT. T. K. BRUNER, EDITOR. Hemby Mine. The Hemby mine, in Union county, just over the Mecklenburg line, is under the Superintendence of Mr. G. T. Ray- mond, a young man of intelligence and experience. There are seven or eight veins, from two to five feet in width on the property, but at present only one is being worked. The new shaft is being sunk deeper and the prospect is promis- ing. At present there are more than 200 tons of ore on the dump, which is being added toeach day. The outlook is so fine that the company have determined to put in a complete plant of machinery, which has been bought from the Meck- lenburg Iron Works, and is being put up by that company. The machinery con- sists of an engine, boiler, ten stamp mill, cornish pump and hoister. With this complete outfit, now going rapidly in place they expect to start reducing the ore by the Ist of July. Phenix Mine. The Phenix mine, in Cabarrus county, keeps going steadily, on their sulphureted ores. They reduce with a stamp mill concentrate, and chlorinate the concen- trates. They have a typical sulphide ore which is amply rich to justify chlori- nation by the Meares process, which is not the cheapest process afloat, though it is one that is reliable and that may be depended on, The Phenix has been going for about four years, with only oc- casional temporary haults, which fact may be considered as evidence enough in their favor. St. Catherine Mine. St. Catherine mine, in Mecklenburg county is one of the best properties in the State. Itis progressing in a quiet but steady manner and is paying all ex- penses and making good wages besides. At present they are working at a depth of 390 fect on a breast of ore said to be from 12 to 16 feet in width. The ore isa heavy sulphuret, but carries some free gold. They work about eight tons a day on aten stamp mill, and catch the free gold on ordinary amalgamation plates, the tailings pass from these plates direct- ly to Frue vanners, where they are con- centrated. These concentrates are ship- ped tothe Yadkin Chlorinating Works at this place where they are treated. In this way from $40 to $60 a ton is saved from the ore—though Supt. Pitcher does not give the exact figures to the public. All of this goes to show what is possible by the judicious and skillful handling of the sulphide ores of this State. Intelli- gence and economy must go hand in hand in mining, otherwise the most pro- lific sources must prove failures. Prof. Hidden reports in the Statesville Landmark the finding of seven ounces of hiddenite, but says that only six pieces are suitable for making gems. Randolph Notes. Affairs at the Uwharrie Mine, in Ran- dolph county, are holding up ina very encouraging manner. The main shaft is down 85 feet—15 feet in sump, They have drifted each way on the lode and succeeded in making a large dump on top. The company are so much encour- aged that they intend putting up a twen- ty stamp battery for reducing this ore at un early day. At present, thirty-five hands are employed under ground and on the surface. They have completed offices and tenement houses. The Gray mine is being opened and to some extent developed by a practical miner, for some capitalists. The pros- pects are considered very good for suc- cess in opening a mine which is likely to prove of value. Prospect work is also going on at the Henley, one of the old mines which was opened years ago. It is said to be a good property and is ‘to be thoroughly tested. Tramontane Notes. Prof. Wm. Beall, of Cherokee writes: There is but little doing in mining just now; Mr. King is letting his mine on Peachtree remain idle. I have been at the Brasstown mines within the last few weeks, and found that they had finished a good mill. They have taken out some fine gold, and are at work, opening out the property for more vigorous work. The Gromley mines are idle at present. The ores from this property have as sayed from $60 to $80 and upward, per ton. I expect them all to resume work ina short time. General Thomas, of Waynesville, is making preparations to ship lime very extensively from his property on the Nantahala. He has completed one kiln and is making preparations to build one or more perpetual kilns, soasto enable him to ship several carloads of lime per day. He has, also, vast quantities of tale ready for shipment.

Don’t talk about cringing and curling to a cow that has to be milked with a pipe line and a pump-station. A Maryland Joke. In acertain village in Maryland a small boy kicked up a breeze in the parish church one Sunday. It seems that a certain good woman bought a calf’s head ‘and put it on to boil, leav- ing her little boy to mind it while she went to the church close by. The good minister had reached his “Fifthly, my brethren,” when a small boy stuck his headin the door and whispered : “Mammy?” The good woman recognized her son instantly and began at’ once to make signs to him to leave the door. “Mammy!” again came the whisper —this time a little louder than be- fore. The mother shook her finger at the arningly, and indulged in other 'familiar pantomime with which she |was accustomed to awe her son. But ‘it didn’t work worth a cent. The boy was excited and in dead earnest, as ‘the sequel will show. Raising his voice he shouted: | “Mammy, you needn't wink and blink at me, but you had better come home right away, for the calf's head is “tisu’ the dumplin’s out of the pot.” i | boy :w Brother Gardener onthe Salvation Army.
